About this park

A well-kept south-side community park with a fenced dog run, tennis and volleyball courts, a playground, and a vintage locomotive display. For dog owners, the draw is the long narrow off-leash area inside: quiet, shaded enough, and equipped with a water fountain built for both humans and dogs.

Salvador Perez Park reviews

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

Reviewers rave about the recently resurfaced courts, the friendly community feel, and the signature locomotive that watches over the park. The shared human-and-dog water fountain is a small but thoughtful touch for the dog run.

The community

A genuine neighborhood hub where dog owners, kids, tennis and pickleball players, and walkers all converge. The dog run itself tends to stay uncrowded even when the larger park is busy.

Best for

Large dogs

Before you go

Shade is limited to a few trees along the run, so summer visits are easier in the morning or evening. The dog-park entrance sits behind the main park facilities; follow the signs from the parking lot.
