Woodward Park

Woodward Park, the largest park in Fresno County, covers an expansive 300 acres, offering a plethora of recreational opportunities for visitors and their furry companions. This regional park boasts a dedicated dog park where four-legged friends can romp and play off-leash in a safe environment. With playgrounds, trails, ponds, and a BMX course, Woodward Park provides a diverse range of activities for both humans and dogs to enjoy together. Unfortunately, the Shinzen Japanese Friendship Garden within the park does not permit pets, but there are plenty of other areas to explore with your canine companion.

One of the highlights of Woodward Park is the Lewis S. Eaton Trail, a scenic path that winds around the perimeter of the park, providing picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. Dog owners can take their pets for a leisurely stroll or an invigorating hike along this trail, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of Central Valley. For those looking to plan a visit to Woodward Park with their dogs, more information can be found on the park’s website or by contacting the park office at (559) 621-2900.
