About the Park
Built for big dogs, Nuevo Community Dog Park's large-dog area gives Santa Clara owners of bigger breeds a dedicated off-leash space. It is open Monday through Sunday from 7:00 a.m. until about a half hour after sunset, with a later noon start on Tuesdays to allow for maintenance. As a free public facility in the heart of Silicon Valley, it fits into Santa Clara's generally mild, dry climate that makes for easy year-round visits. Fencing and surface details are not confirmed in our records, so check those on site if they matter for your dog. The City of Santa Clara facility page has current hours and any posted rules before you head over.
