Nearby is the only city-owned dog park in Rancho Mirage. Built in 2016 the $1.7 million, 4.5-acre park off of Key Largo Avenue was a long time in the making and was a vision of Councilman Dana Hobart when he first ran for election in 2002.
Small and large dogs have their own parks, each surrounded by decorative wrought-iron fences with double-locking gates. Inside are water fountains for dogs and humans, shaded seating areas with benches and 24 lighted parking spaces.
A fertigation system, which injects fertilizer into the turf during irrigation, was installed to keep the grass healthy and the bugs down according to the Public Works Director..
A lighted walking trail surrounds the park with its wide open view of the mountains.
The park, at 34-100 Key Largo Ave., is open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The cache is outside of the park and therefore available 24/7.
Congratulations to GCHam on being the FTF!
