Out of all the requests from the community of Rowland Heights, the Dog Park at L.A. County’s Peter S. Schabarum Regional Park was put up front on the list of park improvements requested of the L.A. County Parks & Recreation Department. Through extensive planning, the dog park location was selected on the northwest side of the 575-acre park. Conceptual design was formulated during planning review with RJM Design Group. A 3-dimensional graphic of the dog park area was then presented to the community and was well-perceived. One request from the community was to name the park “Dali's Dog Park”.

Design enhancements include a small and large dog park area with similar amenities in both such as: shade covers, seating areas, benches, dog agility equipment, large boulders for dog play, as well as drinking fountains (for both dogs and owners), waste stations, real grass, decomposed granite, play spaces, and separate vestibules for arriving and exiting the dog park areas.
