I bring my niece and nephew here to play on the playground and they seem to love it! I'm a Texan new to the area, the people are generally friendly. There is an area for dogs, I understand that the dogs are usually leashed however there is a day/time that the dogs can be unleashed but I'm not exactly sure on the specifics. Overall IMO it's a great family/kid friendly area in a great neighborhood!

No fence at all, so your pup has to be well-trained. Beautiful open area on a steep hillside with an ocean view. Secluded area, not visible from the street. Some sort of trail behind it. Dogs don't seem to care about heading up the hill, toward the (not busy) street, thankfully. Grassy park, lots of shade trees, benches, covered picnic tables, water fountain, trash and poop bags. Small fence around a nice playground. NO restrooms, street parking.

Really nice park. It's small, but my dog loved being off leash and playing fetch

Incredibly nice Park with paved walking paths. A playground and dogs allowed off leash with some conditions attached.

Very nice playground, clean and fenced, dogs can be unleshed, and a great spot to watch the sunset.
