Rancho Mirage

The $1.7 million, 4.5 acre dog park is located on Key Largo just one block West from Diana Shore. Key Largo is one block after Bob Hope heading towards Costco. Small and large dogs have their own parks, each surrounded by decorative wrought-iron fences with double-locking gates. Inside are water fountains for dogs and humans, shaded seating areas with benches and 24 lighted parking spaces. A lighted walking trail surrounds the park with its wide open view of the mountains.

Dog Park officially opened November 30

Check out our ORPS Dog Relief Area located by the Large Laundry & Maintenance for this purpose

PET FACILITIES AT ORPS The Board of Directors is fully aware of the desire of pet owners to have better pet relief areas than existed when the Resort was developed and that were in place when they purchased their property. Our options are limited. A proposed development to our northwest that would have provided new pet facilities is now off the table. A rearrangement of our trash facility to allow an expansion of our existing pet relief area is also off the table due to complexities and frequencies of trash and recyclable pick-up. However, new opportunities have arisen: The GM is in active discussions with the new developers of property along our west wall which could give ORPS access to land for pet usage. The other is the possible development of a newly acquired strip of land on our Southwest property line for pet facilities and the Facilities Planning Committee will address this concept. Neither of these options will be realized for at least a few years. In the meantime, and to provide some immediate improvement to the current situation, the Board has agreed to proceed with a recommendation of the Facilities Planning Committee to designate the common area just outside the pedestrian gate as a pet relief site. The area will be enclosed with hedges and will be available to owners and their pets from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm daily. The trial period to allow pets in the common area that runs from the guard shack to Ramon Road (on the east side of the entrance road) will be discontinued effective February 15. Pets will no longer be allowed in this area.
