About This Park
Fuller Dog Park is the quintessential neighborhood dog park, beloved by locals for its welcoming community as much as its physical amenities. Located in the City Park West area, this approximately one-acre fenced space draws a regular crowd of owners who know each other by name, along with their dogs. The sand and gravel surface stays relatively clean and drains well after rain, avoiding the mud pits that plague some grass parks. What Fuller lacks in size or elaborate features, it makes up for in atmosphere — this is the park where newcomers quickly become regulars.
BEST FOR
Fuller is the ideal park for social dogs and owners who value community as much as physical exercise. The regulars know each other well, making it feel like a neighborhood gathering place as much as a dog park. Best for dogs who enjoy socializing in a compact, familiar setting rather than open-space exploration.
Terrain & Layout
Fuller Dog Park occupies about one acre in the City Park West neighborhood, making it one of the more compact options on this list. The sand and gravel blend holds up well year-round, resisting muddy patches that plague grass-heavy parks after rain or snowmelt. Full perimeter fencing in good condition provides security, and the double-gate entry works reliably. Benches line sections of the fence, providing good supervision angles across the small space. The compact footprint means dogs interact more frequently and closely — ideal for highly social breeds, but worth considering for dogs who prefer more personal space.

Seasonal Notes
The sand and gravel surface gives Fuller a year-round advantage over grass parks — no mud season, no summer dead patches, and decent drainage after rain. The small size means shade varies throughout the day; early morning and late afternoon typically offer the best relief from direct sun. Winter conditions are generally manageable, and the regular community reports issues quickly. The compact space concentrates activity, which can feel intense on busy weekend afternoons but creates a lively social energy that many regulars enjoy.
Pro Tip
A neighborhood favorite with a regular crowd of friendly dog owners. Great for socializing both dogs and humans!
