Jacinto Creek Dog Park

Came to Jacinto Creek Dog park on our recent excursion to Elk Grove to visit friends over the holiday weekend. I was saddened to see there is no separate dog park for big dogs/​little dogs but since we were the only ones there it didn’t impact our stay. This is a fairly large sized off leash dog park, well compared to the ones in the bay area that are about the size of your living room. Parking is plentiful on the street and it’s conveniently located off the 99. Whether you’re passing through or live in the area, it’s a great place to get your dog off the leash and roaming free. Seeing how we have friends that live in the area, we’ll return here on our next trip out that way.

Been going there since this park first opened. Busiest times are right before and after normal working hours. If you want solitude go during the day. Humans donate fun things like doggie pools, poop bags etc. which is really cool. Very nice group of regulars and their humans all of varying heritage, size etc. If you’re new to the area it’s a great place to make friends. Humans remember to PLEASE remove the leash from from your owners’ collar in the ‘air lock’ prior to entering the park!

wish there were dogs when went but nonetheless a giant space for dogs to roam. the pipe tunnel is a great addition. my dog spent more time than normal sniffing out the place. his end results were 4 paws up.

we’re new to the area we were excited to find this park but then a pit bull attacked my Dozhia frightening her to want to go home, not sure if we will be returning.

First time here at this park and my babies love it! It’s big enough for my babies to run around and lots of dogs for them to play with as well. It’s well kept, which is a plus+++! I will definitely be a regular here

This park is great! Has a large space for dogs to run, kiddie pools to cool off, and a neat tunnel. The only reason this park doesn’t get a 5 stars is because there isn’t a separation for big and small dogs, and I have two smaller dogs and I find its a little intense coming in to a herd of large dogs coming in your personal space. But all in all it’s a great place to play.
Oh and don’t forget your poop bags because the park doesn’t provide them!

I really like this park! The busy peak time is around 6 which is best if you want to have your dog socializing with other dogs! This park is sooo good for people whom have both big dogs and small because it doesn’t split the big dogs from the small ones! I have a Siberian husky one Shih Tzu And a loud loud mini poodle mix. I’ve recently learned how to change that behavior while at this dog park since the people are understanding. It can be overwhelming around the peak time but if you’re comfortable with your dogs or dog it should be fine. I love the pools that are out perfect for the summer. The tunnel is also pretty cool.

Just moved to the area and checked this dog park out. My pitbull loves that she can stretch her legs out and run to her hearts content. It’s very considerate that there are lots of plastic bags for scooping poop esp when I forget my own. It gets pretty muddy so be prepared.
For the most part, met a few other dog owners and all pleasant and nice. Their dogs well behaved and getting their socialization on.
Just a tip, be mindful of some dog owners though that don’t have voice control over their dogs. They tend to start yelling when their dog stops listening and starts misbehaving. But overall not every one is like that…

This is the closest dog park to my house, so I decided to check it out. Upon arriving, I saw a lot of people and mostly large dogs. Everyone I met is friendly! Initially, my dog was a bit scared because every dog came running over to the front gate to sniff him. 5 minutes later, my dog was playing with everyone and frothing at the mouth from running all over the place lol. The only thing I dislike about this place is that the grass is long (relative to other dog parks) and a lot of mud (I wouldn’t let my dog run through the tunnel). Overall, this place is nice and I will be coming back in the future!

Took my roommates dog here. Very good area with friendly dog owners and active dogs. Sammy the husky love it here. It’s difficult to get him to come home. They have a shared dog bowl with a water faucet. Plenty grass area for the dogs to run about. There are also many table benches for people to sit.

My little pug sure enjoyed the dog park! One thing to keep in mind though, if you plan to bring a small dog or puppy, don’t let her/​him go freely while big dogs are around. Last time my puppy and another almost got mauled by two dogs that surely was not trained by their owners.

This is a perfect dog park. Our pack loves to go there and get some exercise. There are always bags, toys, and wading pools thanks to the generosity of our neighbors.

If you have a small dog maybe not the best place to bring them. Their are a sub group that bring Large breed dogs who seem to be untested socially and are aggressive towards other dogs. Some don’t watch their dogs and allow them to roam unsupervised while thy sit and chat on benches and lawn chairs. Their is no part portioned off for smaller dogs although this could have easily been accomplished by the City planning commission. You could always take them to Morse park but in reality the same principle applies, people who have aggressive, inappropriate behaving animals take their animals to dog parks and never think their dog is the problem.

My dogs LOVE this dog park! It has a tunnel and kiddy pools to play in! Not good on muddy days either. Usually lots of dogs!

Pros: spacious, clean, not too crowded, owners and dogs are usually pretty friendly, there’s a little pool for the dogs to cool off, plus a working water fountain and a few benches around.
Cons: as others have stated, there is barely any shade since the park is fairly new and some people don’t pick up after their dogs, ugh.
Tips: if you can, go when it’s cooler and bring your own doggy bags.

Here on a beautiful day. So many dogs and their owners are here. Sammy is very happy and excited to see other dogs. He didn’t use to get this kind of interaction. I am happy to be able to bring him out. Everyone here are super friendly. The dogs get along well with their playfulness. Sammy is so full of enrgy. He’s chasing down every dogs out here haha.
I’m happy there’s a pool. Sammy loves to take a dip. This is such a short distance from home that me and Sammy jog here and back easily.

I have taken my dog here once and the people were so nice an inviting that I will defiantly be back. Very big area for my dog to run in and they even have little pools for the dogs to cool off or get some water when needed. Awesome place with a great environment for any dog off all sizes. Will suggest to bring a chair or something to sit in since they only have a small picnic table.

Took my Peaches there on an outing. Was one middle aged man sitting on his lawn chair doing paperwork. That’s cool. Had 4 dogs with him and they were, for the most part, well behaved. Cool beans. But please, pick up after your four dogs. We watched over and over again, your dogs pooping all over the area and there are plenty of bags provided for you!!! After they did all their business, you folded your chair and left with the dogs.
The park is big with a nice big hill. Nice little watering area. Dogs and owners friendly, but there’s always one person who doesn’t take care of s— that ‘messes’ it up for everyone else. I know land mines are inevitable, but there was just more than other parks I’ve been to. Peaches won’t be back.

Butters favorite park in the area! Its slightly small but I like the location. Its in a suburban area and I don’t have to fear that my car will be broken in. The dog owners here are super friendly and always keep an eye on their dog. If they mis-​behave, it gets handled. Butters loves it here. Its all grass, somewhat hilly and a tunnel. The dog here are trained well, even the pitbull. Butters made a friend with one names Boss, the cutest thing ever. I can even go here when the sun is down and still find a one or two people here.

There isn’t too much shady areas so I tend to I bring my dog here in the early evenings when it’s cooler. It’s not separated for big/​small dogs but we’ve never had a problem with any squabbles. Except maybe for a few «humpers» LOL.
Most of the dogs and people stay in the front of the dog park closest to the entrance but there’s picnic benches on the other corners further away which I sometimes like to walk out there to escape some of the chaos. My lil diva can get overwhelmed sometimes with all the butt sniffing.
