How do I get a parking permit for the lot near the dog park? A friend had surgery and won't be able to walk that far but wants to be with her dogs. Most of the time the gate is locked, how does that work???

Concord park and rec will issue a gate key to the person with the placard. You enter thru the gate closest to the playground and drive around to the dog park.

The Heather Farms dog park in Walnut Creek has parking right at the entry. There are a few handicapped parking spots right at the gate.

I believe the gate is only unlocked when they have bocce ball. Call the Concord park and rec department for more information in terms of what days they have bocce ball and when they open the gate
