Off Leash Dog Park at Western Gateway Park

Western Gateway Park Off-Leash Dog Park

Western Gateway Park is dog friendly with lots of on-leash walking trails and open space. Doggie bag dispensers and trash cans are located throughout the park. But the dogs and their people really enjoy socializing at the off-leash dog park.

To get to the dog park, use the west driveway (on the other side of the Disc Golf course) and follow the driveway to the parking lot. There is handicapped parking and bathroom available at the dog park. Bring water for you dog. The park is working on getting water to the dog park by early 2012.

Lots of people and dogs at the park.

The dog park has three sections. You can choose whichever section you want, but if you see only small dogs in the right or middle section, then do ask if the small dogs are OK with a larger dog in their midst. Don't see any small dogs? Try on Saturday mornings at 11am when the Chihuahuas Meetup at the Park. If you don't see any dogs, then try a cooler time of day in the summer, or a warmer time in the winter.

Keep posted on Dog Park Activity

The dog park is lucky to have a great shutterfly site and a facebook page for sharing and communication. You can visit and enjoy the photos on both the shutterfly site and the facebook page, but please join one or both to keep up with what is going on at the dog park and see the non-public portion of these pages.

Shutterfly members get notification of new photo uploads and can download or upload photos. Members also receive infrequent, but important, email about the dog park. All photos here were downloaded from the site. Find out more about the shutterfly site, membership advantages and how to join.

Donations

The dog park relies on volunteers who donate their time and energy to improve and maintain the dog park. Like most dog parks, this park needs cash contributions as well. Please consider making an annual contribution of any size to the dog park. Your contribution can be made to the Gold Country Dog Park Association Box 2194 Penn Valley 95946 or to the park.
