Poinsettia Dog Park
About the Park
Poinsettia Dog Park features separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, with water fountains and typically friendly, engaged owners. Grounds receive regular maintenance, though grass conditions fluctuate seasonally between sod and dirt during renovation periods. Visitors should expect crowding on weekends and occasional inattentive owners; some note freeway noise and limited shade.
