Sparks Marina Dog Park

NOT the dog park if you want quiet. Let's just say the noise from the freeway 100 feet away, is abundant lol. Also is currently closed for some unknown reason. Maybe for the bad algae warning for the area, idk. Outside those negatives and that it's on the smaller side, it does have good grass, shade, lake access and some benches.

Fencing is a joke!!! Way too much wildlife around destracting dogs!!!

I wish there was one separation in the park because someone had a badly behaved dog that completely ruined our time for 30 minutes or so until the person finally left. It would be cool to be able to choose one side or the other in that situation because not all dog owners know how to train their pooch.

It's a great park, really far from the closest parking so it was a little rough on my 74 year old father.

Very beautiful view. Beware your dog might jump in the water. Was not expecting our dogs to do this! I do wish they had better grass its very rough and thorny in some areas. There is a water fountain for your dogs and divided sides for small and big dogs.

Our girl LOVES this park. Mostly because she LOVES the water.
We can play BALL for hours and even make new furry friends.

The bad news is the long walk from the parking lot. The good news is that there is lots of room for dogs to run play. If your dog likes to swim this is a great spot for that. No separate area for small or large dogs. Keep in mind that the public restrooms are near the parking lot and it's a long walk back. I don't expect to frequent this park because of the long walk. Otherwise I do recommend it for aquatic dogs.

If you see a bald guy with his shirt off and these 2 dogs, stay clear. The darker colored dog is clearly untrained and aggressive. The guy barely could even control his dogs walking into the park, and the minute mine came into the water the darker dog attacked and nearly drowned mine. And instead of grabbing his he let it run around telling me "he won't attack".

Don't be that person if your dog gets aggressive in the park.
