In great shape now that its returned to us. Dog loves the enclosure, good to see baseball. Inforcing leash laws, thats so so but fair

Lots of homeless making it feel really seedy people living in creeks cars. Homeless are gathering wood from creeks to burn using drugs big dogs off leashes so sad great park great little creek but kind of a lot of the bad crowd hangs around here sad because its a great park

Always green. A beautiful walk by the creekA good meeting place.

Great dog park, and place for families to grill, or exercise.

Beautiful park lots of homeless people but they try not to get in the way.

It was really comfortable to ride through. There werent any homeless and or anyone else

Nice park, dog park area, small creek, and plenty of lawn

I love this park, its so beautiful! Its important to know that there is a significant homeless population of you are planning to visit.

Beautiful park. Just stay away from the tweakers. Keep close with your kids. Dont stay here at night. But great park.

Perhaps the worst experience ever in Santa Rosa. I’ve lived most of my life in SR and never been to this park. I decided to go for a run around town, decided to stop at that park since it has bathrooms and I needed to use one. First thing I see is about 5 RVs blocking the road leading in to the park, they are literally next to a elementary school. As I head to the bathrooms I see more homeless, which I didn’t mind but they were drinking alcohol in the park. Worst yet as I open the bathroom there was a lady with a crack pipe smoking up, I decided to leave and as I was heading out I was somewhat mugged by 2 clearly intoxicated males to which the kept following close as I was on my phone, I never feared for my safety since I’m always carrying, but I can definitely see this being a problem for someone who can’t defend them selfs

Great park and great people since it is no longer a campground.

Wonderfully kept park with trails and horseshoe pits, large space with plenty of ground for dogs and playing fetch. Thanks to those involved in keeping this place awesome.

I love this park and the trees are beautiful here. Great place to walk your fur babies and have the kids play at the park.

Due to the virus and the shelter in place order my experience was very interesting

Great dog park area! super chill Riley here loves the park!

Pretty laid-back park in the middle of Santa Rosa. Multi-use, sports field, dog park, playground, creek, picnic tables.

Shady picnic areas covered by ancient oaks. Parking is okay, but a lot of motor homes parked on premises. The kids park is okay, but unfortunately is partly in the sun. A good field for playing catch or a small game of soccer. Restrooms. Water fountains for drinking. Bar b ques available.

Good dog park

Best BBQ for parties

Large landscape with plenty of parking spaces. Lots of grassy areas open to the sunshine as well as areas shaded by trees. The side of the park I visited had 4 available bathrooms (with toilet paper!!) which is a plus as not all local parks do. There is much more to this park that I didnt explore so Im sure Im leaving some things out. I did see a community room and there was a band playing for a large group of people on the other side so Im sure that means private events are allowed. It was so serene for being in the middle of the city that I felt like I was camping.

Unofficial campground for homeless people. I counted 16 vehicles which were many RVs as well.Google..give them a place to park and live. With of course firm mandatory rules or expectations. Let them work as a community.

The Park has A Young-Kids Play Ground At The Western End And A Baseball Diamond At the Eastern End. There is A Dog Run in the Middle, Which No One Uses. Dogs Run Without Leashes Throughout the Park (Poop Was Every Where. Not Picked Up), as Their Owners Walk Laps Around The Perimeter Trail. Homeless Haven. The City Recently Removed Picnic Benches And Barbecue Pits. Barely Receive A WiFi signal Anywhere In The Park.

Fantastic place to pitch horseshoes, some of the best pits in the world.

Baseball diamond, dog friendly, trees make it private for many beautiful walks.

It was nicer than I expected except there were alot of dogs off leash outside of the dogs areas.

Its a.nice park tk kick it at for the day

Beautiful park! Great for dogsWell manicured....

A hidden gem in the middle of Santa Rosa. Unfortunately theres always a sizable homeless population that are living here, they tend to keep to themselves though.

My dogs loved it here.

Local small park with horseshoe pit, okay area for dog walking if pet owners keep leashed. Area for ball play, picnic. Accessible creek not for swimming. Road to park is under repair for 2 years, not user friendly

The city has done a great job of cleaning up Doyle Park recently. Good to have our local dog park back! Beautiful oaks. Easy parking. Creekside setting.

Its a little spooky, my friends mom was chased by a man while she was watching her dogs. Its a really pretty park, but risky considering the inhabitants.

2-5yr old park is great, its fenced in so the littles cant run away and theres nice shade from the tree cover. The down side is there is so many homeless people and unfriendly looking dogs not on leashes with them

Homeless people like hanging out at the park so it can be messy, but they dont hassel you as you walk by

Community is right..several people in need of homes with their vehicles. Most seem to be no problem, but obvious issues with some.

My dog Millie loves it here. She has plenty of room to run and Chase her ball and socialize with other fur friends.

If you have small kids the gated playground area is ok, and the gated dog park part is alright too. But keep a sharp eye on your everything because there are always druggies openly using hard drugs in public. Decent stop for the brave and warry.

So serine..well taken care dog run walking distance from me...little creek

Well if you dont mind homelessness go ahead

Needs a little better cleaning. But nice place to bring your dog to.

I took my kids there, and as we rolled up to the Grand playstructure, I commented to my son that it looked liked Disneyland in bizzarro world, because of the homeless encampment, made there front and center.*Update: due to some citizen parents calling out the idiocy of having an open air drug market and homeless encampment next to an elementary school, our do little City of Santa Rosa cleared out the park of vagrants. For the first time in 10 years, a regular person can enjoy this lovely park. I have updated the ranking to 5 stars- until the zombies return.

Doyle park is far the most quietest and respected I have visited yet it is animal friendly as well

Its nice looking park allot of homeless people tho

Awesome santa Rosa gem...Super large park with dog walk and dog park too ...

Open, airy and easy to get to.

Beautiful park with plenty of parking and lots of friendly fur babies.(dog park area)

Its a mecca for homeless people but the dog park is superb.

The homeless people there are real nice and the park is surprisingly clean, despite all the homess people

2 playgrounds, one small one large. Big field in the middle and little trails off to the side that bring you down to a body of water. Lots of picnic tables

Nice setting old oak trees. Street crowd respect boundries

Great dog park,childrens play ground, large areas of lush green grass, baseball diamond, horse shoes area, bocci ball, two seasonal creeks,some tables with bbq oak tree shaded areas.

Half of the park is nice... I would not bring kids to the playground.

Comfortable place for dogs and people to picnic, exercise and relax.

What a beautiful Park in the bend of the river. Only downside is the sand pits around the swings that get in your shoes and make a little bit of a mess. But they have great playgrounds for multiple age groups in a beautiful setting.

Big beautiful park every thing you could want

There is a creek that runs through it beautiful Old oak trees and picknick tables with BBQs play ground and A small dogpark

Lovely park

This is not a clean park. I wouldnt take my children here.

Beautiful park but it has a serious problem with homeless people hanging out in the benches and parking lot. Watch your kids

Love this place!, & the ppl who visit here is equally awsome,....California Reputable

Gorgeous old growth oaks tower over shady lawns with creeks bordering two sides and a dog park. And baseball diamond, kids play structures, picnic tables, restrooms, free ample parking --idyllic!

This place is sooo scary

If i could give this 0 stars i would it is no place to bring your kids and the homeless people there are so many of them i wish the police would do something to clean up the drug use there. DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!!

Very clean parking wasnt bad

I like this place even though there is a lot of strange, homeless cruising. People camp out in there cars an socialize. There is an off guy with big territorial dogs in a baby carrier. There are people at the dog park with aggressive dogs. There are hooligans who throw rocks at the park structure. But there are lots of nice folks strolling with dogs, too. Nice to walk near stream and see critters. Wish there wasnt litter on the ground. Good half mile circle walk for dogs and dog park, but be careful who you are in there with.

Nice park but signage to find the group you are looking for is non-existent. The shade trees are wonderful. Their bark looked like cork. Have no idea what the trees are called. Dog park in nice.

Homeless problem but they are not aggressive. Just an eye sore.

Great place for kids to play

Listening some jams

This is a badass park to kick it at. Just dont be no j-kat

Beautiful park it!

This review is for the fenced dog park only. I love this place. It has really helped my dog come out of her shell. Never have we encountered an aggressive dog and the owners are all nice and pay attention to where their dog is.The unfenced area is not as awesome, but we tend to stay in the fenced area for the most part.

Great little park with impressive oak trees, free parking and a baseball field

Great dog park

People who walk there dogs think they own the park. Unaware of others intrests.

This is truly a small hidden gem of a park in Santa Rosa, but the company youll find there is always... interesting. While some people go to Doyle for a few hours, most of the folks you will find at Doyle are residents of the park. They arent unfriendly, but they will share the space with you.

Great gathering place.

A nice, shady park on Santa Rosa Creek, but LOTS of bums, all the time. Good baseball field, horseshoe pits, and some impressive old oak trees.

Theres a baseball field here and plenty of parking. It seems like a nice local park. If youre interested in earthquake faults, the Rodgers Creek fault passes directly underneath the parking lot off of Hoen Avenue. I love taking pictures straddling our local Bay Area earthquake faults.

Too many drug deals going on at any given moment. #SRfail

Ive been going to doyle park since i was a child in the late 1960s, its kept clean and also a nice dog park located on the premises my only warning and issues if walking a dog in from Sonoma Avenue entrance Ive noticed that the homeless has taken refuge in the beautiful creek inside and Ive had Pit bulls run up to me belonging to the homeless and youre pretty helpless trying to protect your pet, i havent experienced this if entering from the hoen Avenue side but the police were cracking down on this si should be remedied soon i hope.

Location and the park itself are great, but the vibes Ive gotten at the park a number of times is like I shouldnt have been there? Maybe it would be better to go with a group.

I have been going to Doyle Park since I was probably 15 yrs old. Here I am 40 yrs later and I still go back to enjoy the quiet, see people Ive known for years, and to enjoy a quiet sunny day in the middle of town.

Great park for dogs, lots of open space. Would be five stars but the homeless issue there is out of control on the west end, where all the kids should be playing, not a bunch of people getting high.

It is a great place for your pets too roam and frolic freely. Neighborly visitors always preferred

Very nice park.

Bathrooms are usually gross and way too many smokers! The urine stench is unbearable!

Watched a baseball game here last weekend, and the filed is in really great shape!The rest of the park is very well laid out...

Doyle park is a bit on the creepy side, I think. I like the off-leash play area. Mostly nice people and dogs hanging out there. But, theres fairly often homeless people hanging out, so it doesnt seem like it is necessarily the safest place on the planet.

A little dirty.

Fair sized enclosed areas for large and small dogs. The gates arent very secure though and my fifteen pound border terrier was able to slip out one of the small dog gates.There are lots of nice, shady trees and some logs on the ground. There are bark chips on the ground and the small dog area has some crab grass.At nine in the morning on a weekday I saw lots of dogs on walks through the park but none came into the dog areas to play.No tennis balls or poop bags, but there is water in both the small and large dog areas.

So sad to see how dirty and unsafe it was my cousin paid for a reservation for her daughters birthday party and when we got there it was littered with trash and there was a homeless person tent in one the corner we had to call a police officer to make sure there was no one inside they told us that there was nothing they could do to remove the tent all he did was check to make sure that there was nobody in there the restrooms were very durty no toilet paper and there is no posted signs saying that the space we had was even reserved so we got into an argument with another person trying to take over our place all in all very very upsetting to my niece whose party was supposed to be a good day

Came for the AA meeting. Its aight

Decent dog park which usually has a small number of dogs visiting. So far Ive only encountered responsible dog owners there, which pick up after their dogs and keep them under control when needed. Dog park area is separated with an area for smaller dogs and one for bigger dogs but Ive yet to see any dogs in the small dog area. The small dog area is grass while the large dog area is covered in woodchips. There is running water and a bowl for the dogs and plenty of seating area, in the form of tree trunks, for the people.The general park itself is completely overrun by homeless people though, with the creek being used as a public toilet and dogs running off leash in the general park area with no one picking up after them.

A lot of great homeless people.

My dog loves this park! It’s one of the only ones dogs can run free

Relaxing, calming, nice Creek paths, and dog areas, nice shady picnic areas.

Its a average park but it does have a, Horseshoe Club & many fields to play on.

Wonderfully cared for, picnic areas in the shade and plenty of play areas for kids of all ages

I love to come here and watched all the beautiful animals the four-legged animals this is a beautiful little Park and today the squirrels just owned it they were all over the place another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
