A nice neighborhood park, with the bonus of a dog park. A smattering of play equipment for little kids and a pair of unisex bathrooms. Grass quality only OK, but this is the desert. Dog owners variable in keeping their pets out of the people area as posted, and then don't clean up the dog logs they leave behind...watch your step! Kids play equipment of good quality but limited shade, so can get quite hot during summer months. Some folks are parking challenged... or feel otherwise entitled to park outside of the numerous designated spaces. None of the cars pictured were operated by handicapped patrons. May 2022 update Dog part of park reasonably maintained. Some dog owners still let their pets run around the general play area, which is clearly posted for on-leash only... appropriate as kids play in the grass and picnic there. I love dogs, but they need to be properly restrained in public areas.

Lovely small dog park with nice people. There is a big dog area too, we just happen to have small ones. The grass could be a bit better tended in winter, and lighting/more seating/some shade would be greatly appreciated. Still, very glad to have this venue available to the public in Yucca Valley!

The view is great! They have a dog park and also a small playground. The people there were friendly. I joined a local disc golf club sometimes we throw discs out there. It should be a permanent spot there's so much more this park has to offer! I saw no homeless people so that is a super plus!

One of the most beautiful and well-kept dog parks in the country. I travel in my RV with my dog, Pajamas, and we have been to ‘em all. The mountain views here are stunning! Nice people, grass and stone park, very clean…and did I mention those views? What a jewel.

Cute little park with some cool concrete features that don't get as hot in the heat of summer. Has a playground, dog park area, walking path, and I think frisbee golf?
