Looking for someplace to take Fido this summer for a little fun and exercise? Well, look no further. Here are our top 3 picks for dog parks in Brentwood.

It will probably come as no surprise to you that Libby and I are dog lovers. Here’s a video of me and Barbie trying out “Dock Diving”. Sorry, there’s no dock diving at any of the dog parks in Brentwood, there’s still plenty of fun to be had by your furry friends.

Dakota Park

Located at 480 Ridgewood Court, (near Sunset Rd. and Sellers Ave.), Dakota Park is a 4.7-acre park featuring a half-mile walking trail that connects the Brentwood trail system from Sunset Road south to Mallard Park and beyond.

Benches are located under shade structures for pet parents to enjoy watching their dogs play. 🐶 Outside of the dog park area is a turf area with several picnic tables and barbecues.

Great park! One of the best around and the only one I could find that had a volleyball court with a net. Veteran’s park is dog-friendly with plenty of space for them to run, as well as having play amenities for children of all ages.

Dog Park Etiquette

If you’re planning to take your dog to one of these parks for the first time, you may want to consider some of these tips for a successful visit, according to hillspet.com.

1. Pick up after them. If your dog does their business, be prepared to scoop, bag, and dispose of their waste properly. (Dog parks usually provide poop bags, but bring your own just in case they are out of stock.)
2. Make sure your pooch is up to date on their vaccinations.
3. Bring a leash, even if it’s an off-leash park.
4. Bring some treats for after play time, to reward good behavior.
5. Turn your phone off, and spend so quality time with Fido.
