Palm Desert Dog Park — Attraction in Palm Desert

This dog park was a bit of a letdown.. the other dog parks seem to have out a bit more thought put into the layout .. this park is often closed after rain as it floods and gets soggy , the small dog area has too much grass & people either do not pick up after their pets or because of all the grass , can’t find it … there are dog terds everywhere and can be a real problem if you like interacting with your dog while inside the park … because of this it also smells foul … the other parks seem to have more of the sand/gravel segments so you don’t have to worry about stepping into a land mine and it also makes the area easier to pick up after your pet .. all in all , the dog had a good time with the other dogs .. but I wont be rushing to return to this...

It has sort of weird hours and the way the fence is set up between the big dog side and the little dog side encourages fence- fighting so it ends up being very rowdy. I found that nerve-wracking. It's rather small, but it is completely covered in grass which gets a high score. The dog lovers are friendly and responsible. When your GPS tells you "Your destination is on the right," turn right and go around to the back entrance. ...

Weird hours, but nice place. (I forgot to take a picture of it.) But the sign on the entrance gate says that they are closed every Wed. from 9AM-11AM, and that they're also closed Mon, Wed, and Fri from 12PM-2PM.(That means if you want to go midday on a Wednesday, you'd better go from 11AM-12PM! Lol!) Complicated. The sign also said the dog park is closed for "one month" in the "autumn" to reseed the grass. But it doesn't say WHICH...
