Red Hill Park on Vineyard Avenue is our home city's standout, and with more than 3,000 reviews it is one of the best-rated parks in the Inland Empire. The draw is the pond: ducks, geese and turtles, with a loop around the water of roughly 500 meters that reviewers describe as the nicest part of the walk. Shade trees are everywhere, and there are restrooms, water fountains, benches and a playground.

Parking is a free lot with street overflow. Keep the leash on around the waterfowl, bring bags, and it works as a daily walk as easily as a weekend picnic.

Klatch Coffee on Foothill Boulevard is an award-winning roaster with pour-overs, pastries and local art on the walls, and a shaded outdoor seating area where the dog can settle. Google marks it as allowing dogs, and reviewers single out staff who are friendly every single visit.

Parking is a free lot with plenty of spaces. Afternoons get busy; a morning stop after Red Hill Park is the easy version. Prices sit at the low end for a specialty roaster.

Lazy Dog on Fourth Street is the dinner-with-the-dog option in Rancho Cucamonga, and with more than 6,500 reviews it is the most-reviewed dog-friendly business in our territory. The patio is the reason: Google marks it as allowing dogs, reviewers praise the outdoor atmosphere, and the menu is lodge-style comfort food at a moderate price.

Free lot and street parking, breakfast through late evening. Ask for the patio when you check in. It is a chain, so it runs the same everywhere, which is exactly what you want on a night the dog is with you.

Central Park Dog Park on Base Line Road is large, with three fenced areas, two for big dogs and one for small, and each has its own water station. The city rotates which areas are open to rest the grass, so on a given day you may have two of three. Reviewers call it well kept, and the mountain view from the fence line is a bonus.

The surface is mostly dirt and sand with some grass, and there is very little shade and no restroom, so it is a morning or evening park in summer. Free lot plus street parking. It is the local option, and regulars are glad to have it.
