DeGarmo Park — Attraction in Chico

I love coming here and the facility is great and that’s why I give it four stars. However I keep having issues with people bringing their dogs that aren’t fixed or untrained there and they don’t monitor them. I have two male Italian greyhounds that are fixed and the bigger dogs become obsessed with them. The owners aren’t anywhere to be found and it always causes issues. Rather then them addressing the problem, their dog, they react with you shouldn’t bring smaller dogs. Even when their large dogs are jumping on me and cornering me and my two dogs against the fences. I just feel like they need to have better monitoring for when people break the rules. I have been there everyday this week and have had like three issues. I end up having to leave after 20 minutes each time. If I notice my dogs being annoying I always leash them and walk to the other side to avoid issues but am followed by these dogs. I feel bad because my dogs love to run and after the fire they’re now apartment dogs. I would love to petition something where on the weekends they have allotted hours at this park for smaller dogs to prevent issues. I will be doing research and seeing if I can make...

I live out in the country so it's hard to socialize my dog. He is a giant 105lb American Bulldog, which is a breed that requires a good amount of socializing. Degarmo Dog Park is the only dog park close by, and I've never had an issue. In my experience, the moment that any dog starts acting aggressively, the owners are quick to respond and remove the dog. All of the dog owners are always so friendly, and I find myself striking up conversations frequently. The only reason that I don't give it 5 stars is because of the lack of grass, the location during certain times of day, and the fact that there is no separation of dog size or age. It is mostly dirt, which gets hot in the sun. It's next to an elementary school so I highly advise being aware of when school gets out or you will be stuck in number to bumper traffic. The park allows all dog sizes and ages in, which is great... But some dog parks have a two separate parks, one for small dogs and elderly, and one for bigger dogs or puppies. I've seen some aggressive things happen simply because of 4 month old large breed pup tried to play with an elderly lab with arthritis. This is why I give 4 stars...

I am new in town and today was such a beautiful day I wanted to take my 4 year old to a park. This was my first time ever being here and it is a beautiful park. Everyone was super friendly and super helpful right after my tires got slashed!!!

Yep my passengers front and back tire were slashed.

People toke immediate action and tried to help which I am ever so greatful for...thank you!!

It's super sad that on a beautiful day and what seemed to me and my daughter enjoying a good time to encounter such a horrible event.

People these days...slashing tires really??

They should definitely have cameras in the parking lot of this park...

Be aware of your surrondings...just...
