El Monte II’s Arceo Park is a local landmark. It’s a recently remodeled park named after a police officer killed in the line of duty, hosts several community events, and is a hub of activity from the local schools. Shy dogs will prefer walks in the mornings and evenings, as this park can be loud and crowded during the day, especially after school lets out! Dogs have to remain leashed in Arceo Park.
