Bassett Creek Dog Park
Wooded twin enclosures with running water and a quiet small-dog side
About this park
A renovated wooded loop with two enclosures: one for big or social dogs and a separate, quieter pen for small or timid ones. The trail under mature trees overlooks a nearby pond, and the park supplies running water with dog bowls plus a port-a-potty by the lot. The entrance is easy to miss from the road, so first visits often involve a brief lost moment.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 422 Google reviewsReviewers praise the wooded feel, the loop layout that keeps dogs trackable, and the genuinely separated small-dog enclosure. Mature tree canopy and pond views set it apart from most fenced city parks.
A friendly local crowd dominates, though one reviewer flagged a recurring contingent of larger, territorial regulars on the big-dog side. Timid dogs do better in the small-dog enclosure or at off-peak hours.

Before you go
Look for the parking lot behind the Bassett Creek Park sign and walk past the do-not-enter sign to find the entrance. Bug spray is a real requirement in summer, and the trail gets icy enough in winter to warrant traction.
