About this park

Poway Dog Park is one of the best-maintained grassy dog parks in the San Diego region, with three size-separated fenced areas (small, medium, and large), high fences that contain even athletic jumpers, and double-gate entries throughout. The grass is kept in good condition, which means dogs don't come home as dirty as they would from dirt-surface parks. Reviewers describe it as consistently busy at any hour, a sign of how well-regarded it is among North County dog owners.

Before you go

Mornings can be muddy if there's been recent rain; afternoons are better once the sun has dried the grass. Mosquitoes can be bad during hot September evenings near the park.
