🐾 Ward Canyon Neighborhood Park | 3905 Adams Ave.
If you want to keep your dog off the grass, head to this tumbled wood chipped area with fenced spaces designated for smaller dogs and larger dogs. And, if you’re trying to keep yourself cool + dry, this park offers pergolas and park benches for pet parents to relax.
🐾 Kearny Mesa Park | 3170 Armstrong St.
Does your pup have a need for speed? This flat, 1-acre area is open from 6 a.m.-10 p.m., perfect for a game of fetch under the lights or running around with other dogs. Enjoy chairs under shade, restrooms, water fountains + waste bags available on site. Pro tip: Parking can be tricky when students are in session at Mesa College. 🐾 Nate's Point Park | 2500 Balboa Dr.
With an off-leash area spanning two acres, this completely fenced park with double-entry gates offers your pup plenty of space to play + a drinking fountain so they can stay hydrated. While your pets run around, you can sit at the picnic tables and take in the Balboa Park views. 🐾 Doyle Community Park | 8175 Regents Rd.
Open 24 hours and situated behind Doyle Recreation Center, this fenced-in play area offers water fountains + two turfed areas — one designated for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. Pro tip: This area does not have lights and your dog must be leashed outside of the designated dog park. |
