Capehart (Soledad) Dog Park

The large dog area is all dirt. But there are 2 stone picnic table and benches with umbrellas that provide decent shade. Compared to the small dog park it seems to get a lot less visitors. But it is spacious enough for them to get a good run in and play fetch. I am a pet sitter and take my doggies there occasionally.

Updated 01/12/25 Small dog side: I value my dogs’ health & my own health too much to come here anymore. My dogs were met with hostility at the front door by seven dogs. Of which, no one called their dog back. I followed my dogs so that they could poop. And, nearly stepped in 15 (oh man! I did step in) & I’m not exaggerating abandoned poops. Meanwhile, 9 people sit on the patio ignoring their dogs. I used to pick up the poop; up to 30 poops every short visit. I won’t anymore. Because, it is so disgusting. I don’t know about the health of the dogs that are leaving the poop behind as I’ve seen worms and questionable items in the poop. The grass is always soggy & muddy & flea-ridden. After 9.5 years, I’m extremely disappointed in he downfall of the closest dog park to my home. ——— Wear disposable shoe booties or you will take home someone else’s poop. I’ve been coming to Capehart Dog park for 9 years. It’s convenient to where I live BUT is NOT my 1st choice. Regarding the Small dog side: Pros: fully fenced with functioning fountain and constant supply of poop bags Cons: you don’t have full visibility of dogs at the end when you sit near the table. Years ago, chairs were no longer allowed on the grass. So people, ESPECIALLY THE ELDER CROWD, do not follow their dogs to the grass to pick it up. The younger crowd 18-50 & their dogs are generally great. The elder crowd & their elder dogs tend to have an unprovoked bad attitude. Tip: avoid the small dog park 4-5pm.

It was quite clean albeit quite small. The elders in the park didn't scowl at me or give me any grief so that was nice. The bench that is shaped as a bone is quite exciting. Quite nice!

Great little place. My dog is a fearful dog (non-socialize) and could turn aggressive, but the mommies and daddies there are so supportive and help him get through the fear the first time we visited.

This review is for the small dog side.We were staying at a local hotel while on vacation.my dogs needed a place to stretch their legs. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise considering the reviews. When we arrived a elderly man was picking up poop. He seemed a little mad that he had to pickup after others. I don't blame him. There were plenty of doggie poop bags available. Also there were plenty of chairs and some shade.p.s only a porta potty for a restroom
