Poway Dog Park
Three grassy size-split pens with tall fences and shade
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.
