Central Park Dog Park

The Central Park Dog Park is located adjacent to the Fremont Animal Shelter with access off Stevenson Boulevard. The Park has two turfed areas - 1.2 acres with artificial turf and lighting for large dogs over 14 inches in height at the shoulders, and a smaller .02 acre area with natural grass for dogs 14 inches and under at the shoulders. Both areas have a double gate entry to the turf areas that were designed for the convenience of dog owners and the security of their pets.

Other park amenities include:

Benches
Shade structures
Drinking fountains for both dogs and owners
