ARCADIA DOG PARK
For those of you who have dogs that want to make their own friends and roam around off-leash, be sure to visit Arcadia's Dog Park, which is located at the southwest corner of Eisenhower Park on the corner of Second Avenue and Colorado Boulevard.
The Arcadia Dog Park opened in 2004 in response to requests from the community. At the dog park, your pooch can roam freely, exercise, and play with other dogs in a safe and fenced area. (It's also a great way for dog owners to make new friends!) The 3/4-acre property offers separate areas for small and large dogs, and it is open from 7:00 a.m. to dusk daily.
There is no charge or registration necessary to use the park. However, we ask that you use the park responsibly and remember to clean up after your dog.
Please follow the following rules when visiting the Arcadia Dog Park:
Owners must be in attendance at off-leash areas while their dogs are present.
