| - We love the dog park and Desert Vista is absolutely one of the best! As others have said, there are actually two areas - one for larger, more active dogs; and the other for smaller passive dogs. There are several ramadas between the two parks, which becomes very important as summer heats up, several baby pools for the dogs to jump in, several hoses, lots of balls to be flung, a few drinking fountains with a level low enough for dogs and LOTS of poop bag dispensers! All the owners seem to be really diligent about not only cleaning up their own dog's poop, but if they see other poop...they'll clean it up too. We're all just conscious and conscientious about keeping the parks clean.
I think the only challenge I have is, my dog is small, so I generally take her to the small dog park. The big dog park is big enough that you can wander and easily avoid other people, if that's what you want to do. The small dog park is much smaller, which makes people-avoidance a much bigger challenge. And there seems to be a group of people who go every day and they all know each other. So if somebody new comes in the park, it's hard to find a quiet spot to read, or knit, or just sit and dog-watch, by yourself - one of the regulars will always approach. For an uber-introvert, it makes the small dog park a somewhat stressful place to go
