Checkers Dog Park — Attraction in Yorba Linda

They recently replaced some of the dirt with decomposed granite but it looks like they didn't have enough to cover the whole ground as I can see the concrete underneath. There is also very little shade even though there are 5 benches in the small arena. My pup also got hurt once because there's a large pile of rocks at one end of the park that she accidentally ran in to. Surrounding landscape is...
