The Penn Valley Dog Park is a perfect place to bring your four-legged friend to play and exercise! We look forward to seeing you!

If you live in Nevada County (California), then you probably know that we are the favorite off-leash dog park for you and your 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 or the main park, so your annual memberships and donations 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. It provides you and your dogs a safe and inviting place where well-behaved dogs can play. (The oak grove with its tires and trees is especially great for dogs who like to run and sniff.) 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. For more information please go to our website at http://www.westerngatewaydogpark.org

What a wonderful day we had on Saturday! Prior to our event a team of workers came out from Beale Air Force Base to help us prepare the area and winterize the park. We so appreciated their help!

This was our first Dogtoberfest where we celebrated our fur babies. We had hotdogs to eat and we had "hot "dogs running around in the 80+ degree weather.

Dogs and owners were having a great time, posing perfectly for their photo, prancing around the costume parade and having a little pupcorn. We also had c***r and b**r for our two legged visitors. AND IT WAS ALL FREE!

And let's not forget the wonderful adoptable dogs from Wayward Journey. One of their dogs even want a prize from our costume parade! It was a cute bumblebee.

HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT.
