Great dog park and beach. very well maintained and even has a big fresh water stock for the dogs. Guests are kind and the environment is really friendly. Possible for dogs to swim in both the shallower side with no waves and in the bay side with more active waters. Highly recommended.

Love it so much here gotta check it out with your own two eyes, Always lots of Exciting things happening on Fiesta Island .

Huuuuge dog park (roughly 470 acres) located on the southwest part of Fiesta Island. Dogs are free to roam around (walk, run, play, swim) off-leash in a mostly fenced-in area (theres a very small section near the beach where you can get past the fence on land). There are plenty of other dogs for your pup to play with. A must-do doggy destination while in San Diego.

Calling this place a dog park is way underselling it. The whole island is off leash and the fenced dog park portion is ginormous. The furthest corner does get closed during the Tern nesting season but that hardly affects the size. It is large enough that people can really spread out walking, running, or on 3 different beach areas. I have even seen a number of people SUPing along the shore with their pups near by. The size does mean that some of the dogs are not as friendly and the owners tend to keep them separated and the off leash island bit means that the surrounding fencing no longer extends fully into the water so, if you have a super inquisitive dog, pay attention to the boundaries and the other dog and owner behavior. I would not suggest walking around the rest of the Island off leash unless your dog is under excellent vocal control as the traffic does get heavy during busy hours. I have also seen the main parking lot jam packed and the dog park itself still feels very free and open.

This is one of the best places to take your dog and one of the few that lets you do it off leash. Dont try to make it anything else. Leave your bike and beach gear some other place. Let Rover and Max run free for a little while and enjoy watching them do what they do!

Fenced in, lots of nice dogs, MASSIVE. Water here to swim in too. If you have a well behaved pooch theyll love this place, a couple of well behaved people and you can make a beach day of it.

Water is pretty clean here. The only thing I dont like about it is that its not gated and there are cars that the dog can get ran over if he/she runs to the road. People bring their babies and little children to the dog park area and they are at risk for getting pushed/ knocked down by big dogs. Otherwise its a beautiful calm area for your dog to splash in the water. Oh and people leave broken glass bottles in the sand so be careful

Literally the best place ever. Coming here and being able to let your dog off leash on such a large expanse of grounds is an amazing experience and my dog goes nuts for it every time we go. Ive gone back probably 20x since Ive found it. Huge fields in the middle of the park and surrounded by beaches and water, dogs have an absolute blast here. Highly highly recommend. Not sure if the water jugs are always in the middle, but theyve been there the last month Ive been going with a bucket of toys it seems to commemorate a pup who passed. Whoever did that, you have created something wonderful. I cant say enough good things about this park.

We took our 4 month old puppy for the first time, shes still in training so we kept her in a long leash, she loved it. We loved the fact that its fenced ..except its not completely fully fenced in so you must be careful if your dog is the type that run off. Our puppy got a long with almost every dog there with the exception of one. When we were leaving, we stopped at the gate to switch her to her normal 6ft leash, 2 dogs were near by with their owners they were both off leash (a lot of dogs are usually off leash, from what we saw) and one came up to our dog sniffed each other, seemed to like each other and were guessing the other got jealous that in literally seconds he was running towards my puppy and attacked her. It happened so fast, my husband and the dogs owner were trying to get the dog off of our pup and luckily they got it off. My dog was freaking out, the dog didnt break skin just yanked a ton of fur off of our pup :( 2 days later she grew a lump on the area...the dog didnt break her skin but caused small damage inside. Its obviously not the parks fault, just be careful, if your dog is not the friendliest...please keep them leashed.

Great place for the pups to run around! I wish the beach was a little cleaner but it’s still great for the dogs

I like how its kind of like a desert. Dogs had a great time.

I have nothing bad to say about this place. I love it. Seeing the smog around Los Angeles and seeing so many ppl here. I come every Sunday @3 if you ever want to join me. Bring your dogs and friends and get a good cardio session going for the heart. They Rebuilt the piping so they have water fountains there now.

Gotta dog? Go, its so easy for any owner 1st day or pro. Perfect for both yall!

Lots of room to run around. Everyone was really friendly.

Love bringing my dog here. The wild flowers were gorgeous and the beautiful breeze off the bay. I try to arrive no later than 930 bc the cloud cover is still over and it is a great 3 mile loop to walk with my dog off leash

Nothing terribly fancy but a great place to hang out with your dogs. Plenty of space if you want to have your own space or fenced in area to socialize. Clean thanks to many garbage can so no excuse to litter or not pick up after yourself or dog. Lively place but enjoyable. Sand, sunshine and water!

Volunteers keep the park clean and stocked with water. The water is great for the dogs. Since its a bay the dogs dont have waves to contend with. Finally the park is huge!

Amazing amazing park! Its huge so your pooch can either run around the field or you can take him by the water. It takes me at least 1 hour to walk a full circle. Many available car parking spaces, doggy bags, water for the thirsty ones (people bring bottles of water, also there are donation boxes either to leave extra clean fennis balls or take one for you guy) . People are friendly, dogs are friendly everyone is so happy.we travelled with our RV across the US for a while now and seriously this park is by far the best park we visited ( of leash )

Love it here ! My pup enjoyed the beach for his first time, and he was so excited about meeting other dogs here, however the dog owners that we encounter were very snotty and rude. I’m glad their dogs don’t seem to pick up that type of behavior from their owners it would be a sad thing.

This is my favorite dog park in San Diego. There is a long stretch of beach for both people and pups to walk down and play in the bay. Then if you walk up a small hill there is a huge open space for dogs to be off leash. There are several paths to explore. We go here at least once a week. It is a beautiful place to take your dog.

Fiesta island is my favorite dog park! I come here almost every week because parking is big and you get little trails and beach so whatever mood your pup is in, they have it here. It’s also great for paddle boarding. My chihuahua love it because it’s big and they won’t get trampled on.

Great place for you and your dogs, very spacious and dogs and people are friendly

Best place to bring your dog, off leash area too.

Great place to bring your dog for exercise, with plenty of parking and plenty of space. It never feels crowded in the park even on busy days.

This place is heaven! Purely for the people and fur friends enjoyment, best place to let your dog off leash and so quiet and relaxing. I cant believe fiesta island exists, its awesome. Highly recommend !!

This is by far the happiest place on Earth for me and my dogs!!! I have been coming here almost every week for the past 5 years. This is a wonderful place for the dogs to run around and enjoy themselves! Its like taking your kids to the playground! After all, dogs are family and they deserve a play date too! Everyone here is friendly and takes care of their own dogs. This is a giant off leash beach so generally the dogs are well behaved. We have volunteers who routinely bring jugs of water and place in the middle of the park where the water station is I honestly want to tell the haters to go home and stay far away from this beach. Yes your dogs will get dirty. Yes there are sand and mud everywhere. If youre looking for a place that your dogs wont get dirty, thats called home.

I loved it when is low tide so Max, my (dog) goes in the water!

Wonderful, and massive park. Unfortunately a lot of dog owners dont pick up after their dogs and there is a lot of poop around. My dog got sick a day after we went there

Fiesta Island is my dog Zula’s favorite place in San Diego. The dogs and owners are generally well behaved. The terrain is green and beautiful after the rains, but quickly dries out to plain dirt by the summer. The park is huge so dogs can really let themselves go and run fast. Lots of trails interconnect so you can “choose your adventure” and make it a short or long walk, stay in the grass area or make a beach loop, hang out on the benches under the eucalyptus grove, or just enjoy watching the dogs play. The dog park is *mostly* fenced, but there is a large section on the beach by the dirt parking lot that is open, so if you have an escape artist, it might be best to keep them on leash until they reach an area (or life stage) where you’re confident they’ll stay close or come when called.

This place is a great off leash dog park. I normally like to come here and run with my doggy. No worries and many friendly pets. Plenty of space for everyone!

Huge open space and lots of pups. Nice spot to walk the paths or along the water while getting plenty of exercise for the pups. Its clean and safe. Mostly fenced in.

This is a great place to bring your pup for them to roam off-leash. Or, if you just love dog watching, also a fantastic place to take a walk along Mission Bay Its a huge space thats gated. There is a main parking area, but you can also park along side the park and enter at any of the gates.Dog bags and receptacles are all over the park, although there are some instances where people still dont pick up their dogs doody. There arent any restrooms or doggy water bowls, so just be sure to be prepared when you come (for you and your pups sake).

Amazing! Best dog park/dog beach weve ever been to. The fenced area is huge and the pups loved running on the beach.

Best dog park in San Diego. Mission Bay views. Fenced in (with exception to open area by bay, be careful if you have a dog that runs away.). Sandy or hard packed dirt trails. Lots of space to roam! Support this dog park and pick up after your pooch.

Fun for all. Perfect for dog swimming, chase me games, etc. Big and small dogs play nicetogether. Mellow friendly people. Best DP in USA.

My dog loved it and always enjoys a visit to this place! Overall people are pretty good with their dogs and keeping up after them. Nice to watch all the dogs enjoy themselves and have their own space where they can run and play with each other. Even the grumpy dogs can’t help but crack a smile and enjoy themselves as well.

Cant believe this is our first time here. Trails and view is awesome

Great dog park! Fairly clean, huge, lots of space, lots of shoreline. People are nice, dogs are good. Bag stations all over the place and trashcans too, so no excuse to not pick up your poop. They even bring jugs of water and have dog bowls out so you can give your dog water, since there are no water resources on the island. There are also Porta potties so you can clean up after yourself, although they can get pretty foul, but hey, if youre desperate, theyre there. They usually are stocked with toilet paper too.Too bad the citys giving it over to developers to get rich on. Check it out before its gone.That sea slug is a creature I see frequently there. Up close theyre beautiful.

Amazing dog park! Beaches a d grass to walk in, and they provide water.

Wonderful place to let your dog off leash for a while. Wide open spaces, and a beach on the bay too. Seemed to be a preponderance of large dogs, but all were very friendly, as were the humans.We had no problem finding a parking spot. There are a series of gates to gain access to the off leash area. There are porta-potties along the road. And watch out for the shaggy yellow lab - he’ll steal your ball and run off with it!

Its a grate place to take your dog but it was a bit crowded ..it looked like over the line or 4th of jully ..everyone thought they needed to be there.. I left quick..hope we dont get a big out brake because of this..

Love being able to let the dogs go off leash & run and explore the beach area & walking track. was able to walk a good 2+ miles making just one lap - dogs were sufficiently worn out. :)The entrance gate is a little stinky since every dog going in must pee on the trash can right there - other than that fun place for the dogs.

Park is wonderful, just wish lazy people would pick up after there dog as they are watching then take a poop.

Perfect little spot to enjoy with our kids and fur babies!!!

I’ve never been here before and my dogs had the best time! Well worth the drive from the inland empire.

Love this beach a lot a friendly dogs and ownersMy dog loves this beach

It is an amazing place for my dogs to go and play and not have to be leashed.

Great safe place for my dogs and grandchildren!

Amazing place for well behaved dogs. Camp out or take a hike through the property.

Too bad the San Diego City council is hell bent on destroying this great place...

Enjoyed the day with my babys Rambo & khloe loved it

Great place for dogs to run. Just watch out for the stickers.

Nice place to take your dog for a walk.

Very nice place. I will bring my puppy back here again. I do wish all the dog owners would pick up all of their dogs poop though. I almost stepped in some.

My dogs and I had a great time at Fiesta Island Dog Park! We are new to the area and this was a perfect place to get out some doggie energy! The people we met were so nice and welcoming! I definitely recommend this park to all dog owners!

What a great place to take your dogs. Plenty of places to run around. Flat area to walk. Water if you want. And the people and pets were wonderful.

There is nothing but this place for dogs and dog lovers! We are absolutely love this place!

Nice and protected from waves so the dogs can swim in flat water, generally clean and beautiful when flowers bloom

My favorite dog beach plenty of space and great owners

This place is huge! My dog loves this place. It doesnt have bathrooms or a water fountain. Plenty of parking.

Fiesta iand dog park is great, it is a great place to let your dog run free if you have some control of them. The area is very large and only partially fenced, so you can lose your dog if not careful. Always recommend socializing your .

One of my favorite places to come walk the dogs and take in the surrounding scenery.

It was fun. Friendly people. Plenty of room. Not everyone picks up after their dogs though... Would still come back though.

Fiesta Island dog park is awesome!!! People are all very friendly and the animals are great. Perfect place to let your pooch run wild... leash is totally optional!

The greatest dog park in the world!

The one place that I know everyone is on the same vibe,,,positive, gracious,,think about it ...Where can u go walk around for hours and meet all kinds of people and know that everyone one that walks by you regardless of race,gender,sex,, and will say hi,, and sincerely mean it.... thats san Diego . Love this city I call my home..Cheers

The best dog park ever! Its like dog Disneyland. There are trails, cliffs, rocks, beaches, lizards, birds, and other pups! Most dogs and their humans are very well behaved here.On a clear day you can even see downtown!Carry water,though there is usually water, we find our dog wanting it more often than we reach the bowls. I use a camelbak and a pop up bowl. You may get wet. Dogs want to meet you after theyve swam, and thats okay because theyre so cute! Only improvement to be made: please fully fence in the edges of the park! Ill help. Our dog has wanderlust and has occasionally gotten out at low tide near the road.

Amazing space for dogs. Its worth going there even if you dont have a dog.

Great place to let your dog off leash and roam. Water is readily available under the trees, and last time we went, the grass was getting a fresh mow.

Great off leash dog park! All the owners are friendly and everyone picks up after their pooches. My Odie loves coming here and playing with all his pupper friends!

The entire island is leash free, but this particular 1/3 of the island is fenced in. Its a great place to take your pups so they can expend some energy. There are usually lots of dogs around on the weekend, but we have yet to come across any aggressive or troublesome dogs.It takes us 1.5 hours to walk around the perimeter at a leisurely pace. I recommend bringing your own water, but there are a few spots where metal water bowls are stationed. There are trash cans for doggie bags every 250m or so.If its been raining a lot then wait a couple days before heading here. Due to sewage drain off and whatnot the water may not be clean after it rains. I have a friend who got a nasty foot infection from stepping on a seashell after heavy rainfall.

Fantastic, huge dog park. Consistently voted best and largest in USA! Picnic tables in the middle, and doggie poop bags when you walk in. The park is in Mission Bay, dogs can jump into the bay to retrieve items or to frolic with others. The park is clean, very little trash or feces to be found. There arent any restrooms, no water. So, bring water for you, your dog. You can walk in this park for hours, so bring snacks, water, and be sure to use the facilities before you start your fabulous trek!

Dog paradise. Absolutely a must-visit! Our fearful rescue dog had some breakthroughs here, it’s a natural and relaxing space for dogs to interact.

Absolute favorite dog park. Our dog loves it here.

This is a very large off leash dog park right on Mission Bay. Great place to let them run. Highly recommend to responsible dog owners. A bunch of friendly dogs and people.

Such a wonderful place to go and spend time with your furry friends! Parking is free and always seems to be plentiful and the dogs have a ton of space to run around. There is access to the water for them to play in and some kind folks keep water jugs full in some of the common spaces for all to enjoy.

My pup loves swimming here and plenty of parking!

My dogs love this place.

Definitely my and my dogs happy place for about 50 years!

One of the biggest and best spots. It’s a bit dusty at times but hard to beat.

Best place in San Diego to let dog be dog. If you walk around the outside at a leisurely pace its a good 2 hours.

Wonderful park my dogs love it as well as me

Miles of wide open space for dogs and owners to run, play, socialize, or even just walk. Theres beach, trails, grass, dirt, ocean, hills, and views. This is doggie heaven i would say! Highly recommend. I didnt see a spot for baggies so recommend to bring with on a visit. There are trash cans and a spot with picnic tables in the shade.

Has white spaces for the dogs to play and to play with other dogs there who enjoys the Open Spaces that the city does not offer also with the dog is enjoying themselves theyre happier and City Limits also and are apartments and homes also tantalizes the noses of the of the canine in the Natural Area for them to enjoy themselves how are the waters polluted with gasoline engine water I would not recommend your docs to go into the water Im healthy Im surprised that people fish in there cuz I know the fish is tainted with deformity and also the taste of gasoline will be also in the fish

Best dog park in San diego

I love taking my dogs here and never have any problems with dogs or owners. Only down side is that there isnt any plumbing, so no hose to wash the dogs off after swimming like there is at Coronado.

One of our dogs favorite places. He loves run and swim at this huge dog park.

This is the best off leash dog park in the USA (voted as such). I call it heaven for dogs! For people too.

Not a big fan of dog parks in general, but this is an exception. Its such a large space, you could walk around the whole thing and not run into another dog. Flat land, beach, and water for your dog to play in. You never know what youll get at a dog park, but weve had great experiences here.

This is an amazing place to have taken our Alice, all the way from Washington!

This place rocks! Should call it DOG ISLAND! It is the biggest most expansive dog park Ive been to. My dog Francis loved it! Great people there too!

To a human’s eye this place looks boring and ugly, but to a dog it’s fabulous! The park is huge! There’s access to the bay, lots of small shrubs to hunt lizards under, steep hills to climb and plenty more.

I will never grow tired of Fiesta Island. There is usually plenty of parking, and theres at least one port-a-potty. Bags are usually provided, but you might want to plan ahead with bags so you can pick up after your poochies.

What a great place to take your dog! The rest of the island is a little strange, but the section reserved for our fur babies is amazing. There is tons of land for them to run and play, and of course a great area for them to swim. My older pup loved getting in the water and walking around making friends.

This place was AWESOME except for the single break in the fencing between the parking lot and the dog park beach. If your dog is an escape artist, be aware of this!!

Every week i take my pups. We Love it@

My favorite leash off dogs park in San Diego! My gsd loves it, hebcan run free at the ocean or interact with others its just so much fun for Huntervwhen intake him there!!

Its dog heaven.

It is a wide open space with beach access around almost all it it. Its big enough so that even when its crowded, it doesnt feel crowded. Make sure to bring some water to contribute to the community water spot.

One of the best dog parks I have ever took my pup to! Cant wait to go back!
