Fuji Park / Carson City Fairgrounds

I sometimes bring my dog here if I’m in CC and it’s not too hot to have him in the car while I’m out running errands. This is our so-​called «half-​time» break at the dog park, which has two areas. There’s a larger fenced in yard for the big boys and girls and a smaller one for the pee wees. We go to the pee wee section because Caye is only 18 pounds (in his mind, he is a giant mastiff, but that’s his issue, not mine). Almost inevitably, there’s a contingent of chatty dog owners to welcome you as the dogs roam around. I wish there was more grass in the enclosure, but I understand, dirt is much easier to keep clean. There are scattered benches for the humans but only one is shaded.
Conveniently located across from mama’s favorite bulk store, Costco, home of the $ 1.50 polish dog.

My boyfriend and I took our six month old German Shepherd puppy to go play at this dog park. We made a day out of finding a bunch of different dog parks but this was our favorite. When we went there there were several other dogs and the owners were very kind and understanding when we told them our puppy hasn’t been around other big dogs before. He did such a good job around all the other dogs and even made a female German Shepherd friend who is only a month younger than him. We are now going to try to go to this park at least once or twice a week to get our pup socialized and to make new friends. It was big with lots of shade and plenty of Space for the dogs to run around and even a water spigot. Can’t wait to go again soon!!!

We drove by this area, and we noticed that there was a flea market goin on at the Fuji park. Then we went inside to check it out. Who knows if I could find some toys /​plush for my stuffy /​figurines colllection.
It was a free event, and there were many vendors. There was mostly antique collectibles such as a fantastic collection of Barbies. I found 2 stuff to add to my collection.
Overall this event was Pretty good that they have this, hopefully they’ll doing this for a while.

This park has great play areas but the surrounding area is kinda blah. There always seems to be strange cars parked on the grass and around the playground which just isn’t ok. Way better parks in Gardnerville. Try Lampe!

Finally on the third trip here there were some dogs my pooch could play with! The other two times I’ve came it was a bit later and there are no lights here so once it’s dark it is really scarce. Puppy had fun after a long trip up from vegas she was a happy girl! Now we need to find something to eat =)

This dog park is somewhat hidden so it took me a while to figure out there was even a dog park attached to the main park. There are two sections of the dog park, one section is for dogs up to thirty pounds and the other section is for dogs over thirty. My little guy goes to the under thirty area. I think it’s a nice size, I’d say it could at least hold 30 dogs at once. For good reason, the big dog side is much larger than the smaller dog side. An added bonus to the experience is an owl nest in the tree above the small dog side. The male owl sits on the trees limb during daylight hours. Be sure to watch out for your dog though; I heard rumors that last year the owl snatched up two small dogs. I haven’t confirmed if that is true or not but I think it’s possible with teacup breeds.

The Carson City Fairgrounds and Fuji Park are situated in a beautiful natural setting with large trees and Clear Creek running through it. Located next to the fairgrounds is Bodines Casino, and across the street is shopping at Costco. The Carson City Farigrounds and Fuji Park are located in southern Carson City on the south side of Old Clear Creek Road just west of South US Hwy 395, and just south of the US Hwy 50 West interchange.
