Olive Hills Dog Park Review

When it comes to dog parks in my area, there are not many to choose from. I do, however, know of Olive Hills Dog Park, in which Luna and I like to go to often. So, without further ado….Here is my Olive Hills Dog Park Review.

Olive Hills Dog Park opened in August of 2016, and is located at 700 S. Nohl Canyon Road in Anaheim CA. This park is situated next to the Olive Hills Tennis courts, and is open daily from dawn to dusk.

Luna and I go to Olive Hills Dog Park usually during the week, but this time we went on a Sunday afternoon. It was surprising to see the dog park so busy. I have never seen this place so packed with canines and their humans. It was absolutely amazing to see so many dogs having play time and getting some excellent exercise; running around, playing fetch, and of course meeting new friends to play with. The parking lot was completely full and the cars started to line the streets in order for them to partake in the fun.

As you are about to enter your designated play area, you are welcomed by the Bronze K9 monument that was built to honor the Anaheim Police Department K9 officers.

K9 Monument

Olive Hills Dog Park has tons to offer for both small and large dogs alike. Listed below are some of the park’s features.

Olive Hills Dog Park features:

• Dirt ground
• Patches of artificial turf
• Native plants and trees
• Boulders
• Benches
• Agility equipment
• Water stations
• Poo Bag Stations
• Separate areas for Small and Large dogs
• Perimeter walking path

I like the fact that the dog park has separate areas for large and small dogs. Now I did notice that just because the area said it was for small dogs, I had seen larger dogs in the small dog area. From what I could tell this was due to the dog’s temperament. The large dog area had, of course, large dogs but the dogs were running around and well being dogs. Whereas the small dog side had smaller dogs and they were not quite as hyper as the large dog side. I would assume if everyone with the small dogs were OK with a calm large dog in that area, there would not be a problem.

Anyway, let’s get into some details on each designated area for the dogs.

Small Dog Area

The small dog area is designated for dogs that are 25 pounds or less. It has 2 water stations, 6 benches, and 3 waste bag stations.

Large Dog Area

The large dog area is designated for dogs that are over 25 pounds. It has 2 water stations, 7 benches, and 4 waste bag stations.

Agility Equipment

Both dog areas have numerous trashcans for the humans to use, and some agility equipment for the canines to use.

Watering Stations

As I had mentioned above, both dog areas had multiple watering stations and they were kept fairly clean, considering how many dogs were there that day, and the amount of rain that we had the previous week.

Benches

All kinds of benches were stationed around the areas that were either metal or wood. But these benches were not just for people, the dogs seemed to enjoy them too.

Waste Bag Stations

The several waste bag stations in both areas were well stocked with waste bags.

To sum it all up, I believe this is an excellent park for our canine companions to enjoy, and is definitely a popular park. But it raises the question…..Are there enough dog parks locally? Or is this dog park just the favorite around here? I will soon find out as I have only been to this dog park with Luna in my local area so far.
