Dog Park | Los Gatos Creek — Attraction in Campbell

I have been coming to Los Gatos Creek County park since 2017 and always enjoyed it but in 2020 we got a dog and began coming to the dog park inside the county park. This review is for the dog side. It is by far our favorite park. It one dog area split into two sides; one for large dogs and the other for small dogs. The gates are magnetic, so it takes a strong pull or push to open. Both sides are turfed but also have a packed dirt and rock area under some trees. There are a few benches and large rocks to sit on, two trash cans, and a water fountain that services both people and dogs. One of the benches is covered. Often there are leftover communal toys like tennis balls, tug ropes, or frisbees. There are waste bags and take/scoop combos for cleaning up after your dog's waste. I have never seen anyone leave their dog's waste behind, so the play area is always clean. It doesnt smell of waste unless you're near the trash cans. The dog owners who come here generally have well behaved animals, maintain control of their dogs, and disputes be between dogs are rare. Sometimes people bring dogs that are in training or wearing marked vests. Those owners are particularly attentive to their dog's needs in my experience. In 11 months, I've only seen two dogs that needed to be removed from the large dog side and the owners did so promptly. The turf is level and well maintained. I've never tripped or fallen. Covid related: there are no public sanitizer stations in the dog park. There are warning signs for high touch areas like the gates and fountain, but you should plan to being your own sanitizer or your own bowl and water if you want to avoid touching the fountain. Any time I have been there all humans complied with...

This has always been a great spot and now that I live out of state I find that I miss it even more.

I felt the the best times to visit vary based on the time of year and weather. You’ll rare find a crowd on rainy days. There is usually a good number of dogs in the later afternoon and early evening. On warmer hotter days the early evening “just before sunset” was typically the busiest time.

Almost all of the dog owners are really friendly and of course there is always the dog park “alpha” roaming around, but have no fear, it’s all part of your furry child’s learning process. Let them get the full dog park experience and let them interact with other dogs. This is how they learn good social behavior, i.e. Helicopter Dog Parents vs. Ambulance Dog Parents. If you furry child is aggressive it pays to be a Helicopter Parent and possibly consider additional training before visiting this friendly park. Thanks for...

The park itself is nice. But I had a very bad experience at the park: Two dogs mounted and humped my dog, who does not welcome being humped. My dog corrected the humping dogs, but their owners didn't do anything to redirect their dogs from humping/mounting. The owners are mean and very aggressive. Mounting is a normal dog behavior. But humping dog owners should know that not every dog likes to be humped and expect their dogs might be corrected by other dogs. One of the owners yelled angrily and was ready to hit me while I was holding my dog to prevent a dog fight. It traumatized me. I was shocked to see such a bad person in my life. I have taken my dog to this park frequently for over a year. Both my dog and I always have had a good time at the park until today. I will not come back to this...
