If you live in the Penn Valley area you probably know that we are the only off-leash dog park serving local residents and their pets. Although we are located on Western Gateway Park property, we operate as a separate non-profit corporation. We receive no funding from the county, so annual memberships and donations to support the dog park are always appreciated. Our secluded and well maintained two

acre dog park is fully fenced with water, shade and seating in all four exercise and training yards; providing a safe and inviting place where well-behaved dogs can play. (The oak grove with its hills is especially great for dogs who like to run.) All areas of the dog park are ADA compliant and easily accessible. There is also an on-site restroom facility and plenty of parking. The dog park was substantially improved and expanded in 2015 so whether your dog is big or small, come visit us. We look forward to seeing you! For more information please go to our website at http://www.westerngatewaydogpark.org

Let’s put our PAWS TOGETHER for this awesome community of volunteers who came together and raked SO much sand! Wow, does the large play yard look good!

Some of the things you might notice……
🐾 Pileup/buildup of sand along the back of the large yard has been relocated to the center of the yard.
🐾 Lots of sand on outside of the fence has been reclaimed and moved back inside.
🐾 Sand has been raked away from the tree lines and will be replaced with mulch for better water absorption. This is a work in progress you’ll see we only got plastic landscape border up around one tree. But it looks good so far. 👍
🐾 Leaves got raked & moved to debris pile.

Giant Howling THANKS to all those that helped. Especially grateful to Jason, (Great Dane Riley’s dad) to the rescue with snow shovels, Nicole (Dillys mom) with might and fortitude, and Jerry with the tractor (beep, beep).
