Find the dog park entrance
The Monroe Avenue street address identifies Hollydale Regional Park, but the city places the dog park in the southwest corner and specifically recommends the Century Boulevard entrance. Use directions to the dog-park coordinates, then follow park signs to the fenced enclosures.
Review the official South Gate Dog Park rules and the official park reference before visiting.
What to expect
The two fenced play areas include seating, drinking water and dog obstacles. Parking is available within Hollydale Regional Park. Keep dogs leashed between the parking area and the dog-park gates.
Rules and safety
Dogs must be licensed, vaccinated and accompanied by an adult. Puppies under six months, dogs in heat and dogs that are sick, aggressive, disruptive or poorly socialized are not allowed. Each adult may supervise no more than three dogs and must carry a leash.
Pick up waste and closely supervise play. Food, dog treats, alcohol, smoking, glass containers, bicycles, strollers and children’s toys are prohibited inside the dog park. Commercial training requires a permit. The city may close the area for weather, maintenance, repairs or special events.
What parkgoers say
Parkgoers often appreciate the separate dog areas, agility obstacles, water, seating and access to the larger regional park. Visitors also mention that cleanliness, crowds and dog behavior can vary, so checking the enclosure before entering remains important.
These are individual experiences rather than guarantees. Compare recent South Gate Dog Park visitor reviews with the official rules and current conditions.
