Are dogs separated by size?

Yes. Large and small dogs have their own fenced areas, which reviewers with only-dogs say keeps introductions manageable.

Is there anywhere quieter for a dog that gets overwhelmed?

An open area sits apart from the main pens, used for long-range fetch or one-on-one play away from the group.

Is the surface grass or dirt?

Grass, with trees and seating around it. My Dog Park stays cleaner than the dirt-surface parks elsewhere in the city, and dogs come home less filthy for it.

How clean is it kept?

Mixed. Most owners are attentive, but reviewers note a handful who socialize instead of watching their dogs and leave messes behind.

Is there water on site?

Yes. Reviewers list water among the basics here, alongside the seating and the shade trees.

My Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Reviewers praise the grassy surface, shade trees, separate small- and large-dog areas, and a quieter unfenced zone ideal for long-range fetch. Owners who've rotated through Fiesta Island and Ocean Beach Dog Beach consistently call My Dog Park the calmer, more dog-focused alternative of the three.

The community

Draws a friendly, like-minded neighborhood crowd whose dogs are mostly social and well-behaved. A small minority of owners tune out and skip poop duty; it's not the dominant scene, but it comes up often enough to note.

Before you go

The park has both fenced and open areas. Use the enclosed zone if your dog is reactive or not yet comfortable in large groups. Lots of grass keeps it cleaner than many San Diego parks.
