Dog walking in Rancho Cucamonga

Altaloma

Upland

In 1999, a spot in Baldy View Park was carved out for Upland Dog Park. That was the year that everyone was worried the world would end at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Well, that didn’t happen. Everything survived, even the park. And thank goodness it did, because every month, an event is held to encourage community building and educate dog owners on responsible dog ownership. If you can’t attend next month’s event, be sure to subscribe to the bi-monthly newsletter. You will receive a handbook called “The Dog Park Survival Guide”, a su-paw useful tool for learning the ropes of dog parks across the nation (or who knows, maybe the world). In addition, dogs and humans can participate in games and contests at these events to win prizes. Biscuits, anyone?

Etiwanda

On the northeast side of Rancho Cucamonga in Etiwanda, there’s a place where dogs play free as bees in the trees (really heavy, furry ground-relegated bees). With plenty of space to run, benches for humans, water for the fur bay-bees, and complimentary pet waste bags, there’s really nothing left to be desired. Oh, but did we mention? Big dogs play on one side, small dogs play on the other. No one gets eaten and everyone is happy. Eating will eventually become a topic of conversation, though. In the event that happy turns to hungry turns to hangry, hop (or drive) on over to Monaco’s Pizza for some pie. Just be sure to pack a little snack for Fido, too. Dogs express hanger differently - in the form of really sad puppy eyes. Yikes!

Ontario

Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park is fun to say and a great place to play! With over 150 acres of outdoor activities, you don’t need another reason to get out of the city. There are two lakes for fishing, a swim complex equipped with slides, a water play park, picnic tables, and picnic shelters. Pack your fishing rods, lunch, plenty of sunscreen and a dog bowl to fill with water for Fido. Another added benefit of visiting this park is its location in Ontario. You can tell everyone you took your dog to Canada at lunch, on your private plane of course.

North Ontario

Close your eyes. You’re going into a deep sleep. Imagine a place where all your dreams come true… where hangover-curing pancakes and bacon meet canine companionship. Now slowly wake up. It’s Sunday morning. Get dressed and go to Molly’s Souper, where you can brunch with your dog. We’re serious, this may be the only place in the whole world where you can eat your own brunch and your dog can eat theirs too! Humans will enjoy classics like biscuits and gravy, fried egg sandwiches, and heaping piles of bacon. Dogs will enjoy a warm plate of chicken, carefully cut into chunks, from the doggy menu. Sit out on the shady patio and escape the direct sun. Molly’s is only open everyday from 6am - 2pm, so don’t sleep in too late.
