Is the off-leash area fenced?

Yes, the run is fully fenced chain-link, with separate sections for large and small dogs.

What is the ground surface?

Gravel and mulch rather than grass, with dirt and rock underfoot. Loose gravel tends to scatter onto the perimeter sidewalk, and a broom is kept by the gate to sweep it back.

Can dogs use the large fenced field in the middle?

No, that central enclosure is a restricted reservoir and stays closed to the public. The skyline view is from the path around its edge.

Midday, when only a few dogs pass through. Regulars cluster around 7:30 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM.

About this park

Magnolia Manor Park features a dual off-leash area with separate sections for large and small dogs, set in the middle of the Magnolia neighborhood with a community garden adjacent to the fenced enclosure. It functions more as a neighborhood gathering spot than a destination park, with the social scene peaking at morning (7:30–9am) and evening (4–6pm) rush.

Before you go
