The Canyon View Dog Park is located at the north end of
Canyon View Park, north of the softball field complex and across the driveway.
The area is approximately 3.2 acres enclosed by a 6’ chain
link fence with two separate double gated entry points and two separate areas
for small/senior and large/active logs. The west area is for those small,
senior, or shy dogs. The east point is for more active and larger dogs. Each
entry point allows an owner to leash and unleash their dog within a secure
area. It has been proven very important for the dogs to be unleashed prior
to them entering the off-leash area in order to avoid fights and conflicts,
common when the dog is on leash. Also, the multiple entry points allow for
a dog to enter the park away from other dogs and avoid immediate situations
within the park. See the dog park
rules for
complete information.
The area is covered with native vegetation and will be periodically
irrigated to help maintain it. Also included in the area is a small, seasonal
body of water for the dog's enjoyment and refreshment. The pond is filled directly
from the valley's system of canals, so any dog owner concerned with possible
problems should consult their veterinarian. The pond will be drained and access
restricted during winter months.
