Flora Vista Dog Park

I’m so glad that a dog park has opened so close to my house, but I really wish the city would do more to patrol the area. I was there at 8 o’clock in the morning with my dogs and there were beer bottles and used condoms in the parking lot. That’s just nasty! On another occasion I have seen a homeless man sleeping in the garden that is in the large dog area. I do not feel that the park is very safe.

Great place to bring my Pekingese they usually have the place to themselves. There are some dogs here sometimes and sometimes non-​but that’s OK with us I love this new dog park you should come and try it

Potential… This place has a lot of it! It’s a smaller park then Lakewood or Los Alamitos, but I’m super happy that Bellflower finally has a dog park! Ours located next to the biking/​running trails and is accessible from Clark and Flora Vista. There’s a small parking lot with a water fountain outside of the gates, which is good when considering that the dogs won’t have to fight for water.
The park divides into two, one being for small dogs, and one being for large dogs. There is little shade and no grass. The park is filled with dirt. The large dog area has a bone shaped planter which can be used for sitting.
All in all, good location, if you want to stay local but it’s smaller then some other ones in the area park. Hopefully the city will do more for the park.

1 for convenience (real close to where I live)
2 so for potential.
This park could be good for the neighborhood but they should REALLY update the terrain. My 5 month old pit had really irritated paws when we got home from the ‘pebbles’. But the park is decent and has potential

Happy we finally got a dog park right down the street but after our first visit, I took my Biggie and Ziggy only to come home with Biggies little pads on the back of his front legs scraped raw :(i remember the floors being covered slightly with a little dirt. The floor is bumpy concrete. Not good for my dogs paws as he’s running and sliding around catching his ball :(I don’t want to take him anymore unless he has boots now :/​poor guy was in so much pain till they finally healed. I suggest more dirt to cover up the hard floor.

Too small and it’s in a residential neighborhood. Won’t be coming back. I prefer a bigger dog park.

Finally a dog park in Bellflower. Was tired of driving around the surrounding cities looking for dog parks. Now I can walk down the bike trail straight to it. My pup is loving it so far. No mud… good idea having the water fountain outside the fence. Good space, we’re already making friends.

I want to start by saying it’s nice that Bellflower has moved forward with this project and opened a dog park near my house. Our dogs love these parks and we take them at least once a week.
This one is a bit smaller and we were among the first in the gate. The park has no grass but is covered with decomposed granite which feels like crushed concrete. It’s better for cleanup but other than that it’s not comfortable there’s no traction so there’s not much running or chasing going on as they slip trying to corner. Our dog was limping back to the car and at home. There’s nothing in his paw so I’m guessing it’s just sore from the rough surface.
There is some shade in the park and the planter in the middle doubles as a bench so plenty of places for humans to sit. Water is outside the fence just like the El Dorado park. Parking is tight for 8 cars and a handicap. The lack of grass and water outside the fence are the only issues. Grass would get it 4 stars.
Keep an eye on the gate because some of these people are new to dog parks and leave the gates open or just open and walk without checking for dogs.
