There is a small dog area for pooches under 25lbs as well as a large dog area for big, active, high energy pooches. Pooch Park also features a third "wood chip" area that is open to all dogs. All pooches and their owners are welcome provided everyone follows the rules and regulations and owners pick up after their dogs.

The Fullerton Pooch Park is on Fullerton City property and was established in June 2007 on a trial basis. It became a permanent park facility in 2009.

While the Fullerton Pooch Park is a city park, the City of Fullerton has entered into an operations agreement with the Fullerton Dog Park Foundation (a 501c3 non-profit foundation) to operate the Pooch Park on behalf of the City. Foundation volunteers open, close, and monitor the park on a daily basis.
