Clovis, CA, March 10, 2025 – Dog owners in Clovis have something to celebrate this spring – the City’s second dog park is now open! The beautiful new Letterman Dog Park, situated in the existing Letterman Park on Villa Avenue, is almost 30,000 square feet and features separate fenced spaces for small and large dogs, beautiful trees and rolling grass areas, benches, drinking fountains for humans and dogs alike, and more. To celebrate the opening, the City of Clovis is inviting community members (and their dogs) to attend a Ribbon Cutting Celebration on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM at the park, located at 908 Villa Avenue in Clovis. The event will begin with a special ribbon cutting program followed by a community celebration featuring light refreshments, giveaways, and of course, an opportunity to explore and enjoy the new dog park.

In 2018, the City of Clovis opened its first dog park at Sierra Bicentennial Park. Seven years later, with the help of grant funding from California, the City was not only able to improve its existing dog park by adding shade structures and other amenities, but also to build the second, even-bigger dog park at Letterman. The City’s Public Utilities Department along with Planning and Development Services came together to make the dog park possible. The City hopes that this will be an amenity enjoyed by generations of residents and their beloved canine companions.
“This project represents the City’s commitment to the development of municipal dog parks,” said Sarai Yanovsky, Supervising Civil Engineer with the City of Clovis. “Letterman Dog Park is a great place for dogs and their owners to spend time outside and socialize, and we hope residents will join us in celebrating the opening of this wonderful amenity for our community.”
