Del Mar Dog Park (Off-leash, open dawn-dusk)

I love this park it's the best around! The blue stubby nose, her name is Dakota. The short haired German Shepherd, her name is Luna the tree climber!

Great park for playing with my baby. Many dogs show up here and almost all of them are well behaved and friendly. My baby is around 12 lbs but she loves this big park and there’s a lot of balls and toys for her to chew on here. Also the park is very clean and very well maintained.

Great group of "Dog People" meet there every weekday around 4 pm. My dog is a puppy and the socialization is wonderful!!

A nice little neighborhood dog park tucked away in the high voltage towers. What makes this dog park different is that the ground is covered in tan bark, which is nice for some dogs and their human's. However, this could be an issue for dogs that run a lot, because they might get splinters in their paws. This facility offers a few water fountains for dog and human consumption as well. It's not huge, but in most cases it is big enough for your needs. However, if there are more than 8 to 10 larger dogs with balls being thrown around, it will feel a little crowded and confined. On the positive side of things, it has many locally donated used outdoor furniture chairs to allow for the humans to relax..

We go to this dog park often as it's within walking distance from our house. The owners and dogs tend to be pretty friendly. It can be pretty hot in the summer as the tanbark gets warm and there is very little shade. In the winter, there can be some flooding on the creek side of the park which can lead to some really messy dogs if they like playing in the water. Outside of really hot days and days after a lot of rain, I would definitely recommend this dog park.
