My favorite dog park in California and Nevada! Its huge compared to any others Ive been to. Its well kept, people pick up after their dogs and are nice about holding the water fountain for dogs other than their own. Really peaceful place to bring your dog to run and play with other dogs. All sizes are in together and sometimes there is a small child or 2 so be careful if your dog doesnt like children. Lots of room to run or play fetch with your 4 legged friends.

Nates Point Dog Park is a great place to bring your furry kids to come and stretch out their legs and to socialize with other doggies. I’ve been coming here for years now and it’s a wide and long area for them to play and fetch the ball, it’s never to crowded and they have doggy bags for when your furry kids do their business. It has some great views of the bridge, the museum of us and it’s it’s located conveniently by the freeways. There’s always plenty of parking close by, they have water fountains for you and your furry kids. It’s mainly all dirt with plenty of trees scattered around the park. They have one picnic table but I wouldn’t recommend eating your meals on it, it tends to smell like urine around the entrance of the park but that’s expected at dog parks. It would be nice if they added more seating or a dog playground. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. The Haunted Trails is located close by in October.

Moved to SD a few months ago so Ive been trying a handful of dog parks in the area. I love that this park is in Balboa Park, as it is so beautiful! The dog park itself is super spacious and fenced in, so it is perfect for dogs who like to explore and roam around on their own. There is a good amount of seating and tons of room throughout the park to maintain distance from others.

If you love dogs, this is an ideal place! I recently lost my furry babyy after 10 glorious years...I needed to see some furry four legged critters. Found comfort in this place. There were doggies of every size playing in a safe, enclosed doggie park, in a beautiful area of Balboa Park accompanied by their owners. A great place to take doggies!

A nice and large fenced dog park. Enough room to separate yourself from other dog owners. However there is alot of homeless traffic traveling through the park, mostly starting at dusk. On multiple occasions weve witnessed a homeless person enter, the dogs would get riled up and the person would threaten to kick/harm the dogs. In short: great mixed dog park with plenty of friendly owners during the morning - afternoon; beware late afternoon - night.

Tucked on the southwest end of Balboa Park along 6th avenue is this really neat leash free dog park that allows pets owners to socialize while their furry kids play. We bring our dog here and have never had any issues with dog aggression. Most of the dogs are well socialized and friendly and with restroom facilities nearby, and the heart of the park about 100 years away makes for a perfect day at the park. There is a dog friendly water fountain and plenty of trash cans for waste if your dog drops a deuce.

Best off leash dog park in San Diego, in So Cal as far as I am concerned - and as far as my dogs are concerned! Nates is located in Balboa Park the views are absolutely beautiful. The off leash area is huge. I walk my dogs around the perimeter several times in each visit. Plenty of shade trees and lots of dogs to play with in most days.

Awesome space to bring your dog to get some exercise off leash. Yeah, there could be grass(Its pretty much all dirt), but its a dog park. Im just happy they get to have great time. Its totally fenced in, so thats a huge plus. And everyone seems to be real nice there.

Lots of room nature provides everything they need and man provides fence. In five years Ive only seen one bad incident and that was the owners fault ignoring his dog. Clean, beautiful,

Excellent San Diego dog park located in the heart of Balboa park.Parking is ample and free within the park.Grab a bite to eat at The Market Place deli on 5th @ Nutmeg and grub down with your pooch in Nate’s Point dog park.

I enjoy taking my dog here. Owners wear your gym shoes because there is no grass and you will get dirty. Expansive fenced in area but no separation between big and small dogs so if that’s what you’re looking for this space is not for you. Just like anything else keep an eye on your pup, some owners seem apprehensive to step in and reprimand dogs when some things escalate. Lots of sun, but there’s a water fountain for your pup and enough shade to find a place to sit if need be!

Hiked this weekend with my wife and two yorkies. The fur babies approves of it. They loved being off leash! Although its a bit busy, people still maintained social distancing. The trail is clean too. I would definitely go back again! No wonder a lot if people that have dogs come here to hike.

My boys and I really enjoy taking our dogs here. They have really cleaned it up nicely.

Its ok. Dirty.Enclosed, fenced in.Want to have a relaxing tine in a huge, beautiful dog park? Skio Nates and trek the extra mike and go to Grape St. Way better.The only advantage to Nates is its 24 hours.

Nates is a good dog park. But it is all dirt. Parking is hard to find, even during covid.

Nice large dirt patch for dogs to run in. My Rottweilers loved it. It has water fountains for people and dogs. Entrance is grassy everything else is dirt.

Unfortunately all the grass is gone but it was a good sized dog park. Has water fountain for doggies. Has some shade but no grass.

Very spacious, lots of poo bag dispensers and fun logs and things for the dogs to play in.

Nice dog park. Very frienly with a lot of pooch to play with your dog.

Great place just to hang our on a Saturday! Parking can be chaotic, but a fun place to hang out. Not to mention, the occasional live band comes there!

This is one of my favorite dog parks in San Diego. Plenty of room for dogs to run. Great views. Plenty of other dogs to play with or room to roam of thats your pets thing.Located at the entrance of Balboa Park there is parking right in front of the park. Theres a sign that says the park is closed Wednesday mornings around 7 for maintenance FYI.Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area!

Always a great place to let your dog run leash free. Other dogs and their owners are nice.

Nice place but not at lt afternoon and night

Your dog will get dirty here. There’s no grass at all it’s all dirt. Pretty big space if your dog likes to run. Not super secure your animal could definitely get out.

Dusty lot of sun, lot of shade. Its a great Florida canyon ridge dog park. keep an eye on small dogs anf Small dogs be careful.

Id give it 5 stars if it had grass. Expansive dirt area, some trees. Nice people who frequent this place also.

Great dog park on the edge of Balboa park. Wonderful big dogs some medium ones nice owners..Everybody gets along..its amazing!!! Go at 3pm or after cooler for the bow wows

My dog is not the social butterfly, and it made me nervous to come here. I had him on a leash. He impressed me so much, he loved the ample space, friendly dogs everywhere was happy to pet them and toss them a ball. It’s clean and despite being a dog park it has a fantastic view of San Diego. I really recommend it here, especially for locals. Sadly I’m not a local so I can’t come as often as a I like

Its a big park with lots of dogs :) I love taking my dogs here.

Nates Dog Park is a great place to let your pup run around without a leash.Great location on the Bankers Hill side of the Balboa Park bridge. There is a lot of parking around that area, and its rare that I cant find a spot.The park itself is gigantic. Much larger than most dog parks in San Diego. It has a double gate that helps prevent unleashed dogs run out. There is also a water fountain that accommodates people and dogs. Also, poop bag stations make for convenient poop pickup. Youll see an assortment of sizes from tiny Chihuahuas to Mastiffs. Its almost unheard of to see a fight or anything.

Our dogs have the best time here, there is always lots of dogs, most of them friendly ! And there is plenty of room for my dogs to run around. We go at least once a week.

My dog loves this park! They have a water fountain for dogs and people and poop bags available. As you can see from the pictures though its mostly dirt which sucks. Also theres no divide for big and small dogs so my 120lb girl constantly has to be moved away from terrified chihuahuas. This park is enormous and has multiple entrances already so it would be an easy fix. And grass would make it perfect.

My favorite of the Balboa dog parks. Big and clean and having the fence here makes it stress-free. Have only met friendly dogs and owners in my few visits there since moving nearby recently

Part of the Balboa Park experience at the same high quality of nature and beautiful views

Nacho loved running around the dog park

Very dusty and larger. If your dog doesnt come when called good luck!!

Fantastic location near Balboa Park to the puppy to frolic and operate along with other dogs will off the leash. Then walking into the playground with a mellow, tired dog

Large fenced dog park at the edge of Balboa park. Well attended on weekends, mornings and early evenings. A bit dusty but otherwise very good.

Expansive, enclosed dog park with plenty of trees

A big park that is predictably brown from all the dogs marking their territory. It has plenty of room for dogs to roam and things for them to pee on! I would recommend going through the back entrance, though, as its much less busy and easier to get through without being swarmed by excited pups.

Great dog park, wide open space, pretty view of Balboa, and completely fenced in. My dog absolutely loves it !.

PuggySue loves this place!!

Pros: location, 100% fenced, 2 double gated entrances. Cons: kinda small, all dirt, no restroom, no benches (only dead trees to sit), very few trees or greenery. Why 4 stars? The fencing.

This place is huge, all dirt, hilly, fenced, mixed small and large dog, equipped with water fountain for dogs, 2 entrance on both sides. Parking can be tough because the surrounding area is multi housing and tourist area.

My Shiba Inu pup loves it

Im here several times a week and my dog loves it there. We live nearby and there are usually quite a few dogs there. It is absolutely huge with tons of room for dogs to play and exercise. Friendly people, usually, and lots of sun or shade, whichever you prefer!

Such a great, welcoming dog park! Huge enough for any breed/size dog, will definitely be back!

Great place to take our pups and let them run and drain energy :) also play with other dogs ...

Really big space for the dogs to run and get some energy out. My pup had a lot of fun! I found that there are only a couple of tables for dog owners to sit and one doesnt provide shade, it would be nice if there were more that provide shade. The water fountain only partially works which makes things a bit inconvenient. The area is enclosed but all dirt/sand, I really wish that there was some grass, it would have been easier on the dogs in hot days as well as less messy.

Walk your dog at Nates Point Dog Park as you gander over yonder at the flying machines engaged in landing mode. This park is in close proximity to San Diago Airport. You, your best friend, and one of the most important engineering feats in the history of humanity.

My dogs favorite place on earth, very nice place for him to run and there is always other dogs to play with

Doggie bags- Check!Lots of room- Check!Plenty of pups before dark!Lots of sticks and leftover balls.

This place is a dogs paradise. Large. with areas of grass and dirt plenty of room for Fido to stretch those legs.

Great dog park! Huge! Its mostly dirt but its grassy and side walks the whole way in. Everyone is nice and friendly. Most of us live close and have cool tips for people new to SD. Id say just go and try it out. You and your doggo will have a blast :)

Large dog park. Great place for throwing balls and walking dog. Lots of room. Tables and benches for sitting. Some trees for shade. Some fallen trees for dogs to climb. No grass dirt only and no separate space for small dogs.

Great place near Balboa Park for your dog to frolic and run with other dogs will the leash off. Then walking by leash into the park with a mellow, tired dog

Dogs are safer a fantastic clean Dog Park

Its a good place to take your pet friend

I love this dog park!!! Its huge!

My little 9.5lbs dog loved it here. I wish there were more drinking fountains for the dogs. The only one was near the main entrance. The park is very big. Big enough to find your own little area if you think your dog will need a break from other dogs.

Its a great dog park right in Balboa Park near the west side of bridge.

Great place to bring your dog if you live in the city! Its well maintained and when I was there everyone is well mannered.

Lots of space to run and completely fenced in (my little gremlin likes to wander). We love going here.

Old and Hilly...no grass...only dirt.

The perfect place for your dog to play and enjoy a great atmosphere!!This park is full of friendly dogs and owners...Highly recommended!!

Very clean, spacious dog park. In Balboa Park. Some large trees around the perimeter, lots of trash cans. Closed Wednesday mornings for maintenance.

I like walking around Balboa after visiting the dog park.

Friendly people and well behaved dogs

Great dog park and very large space, also they have it separated (Big. Dogs, Med. Dogs, Little. Dogs)

So far this is the best dog park I’ve found in SD. Located in beautiful Balboa Park, Nates is always stocked with lots of playful dogs and plenty of land for them to run. This is an off leash park with access to doggie bags, shade, benches, and water.

Almost the perfect dog park: lots of dogs throughout the week, bustling on the weekends in particular, and centrally located. The park is also fenced in. Only downside is that its mostly dirt.

Great place for dogs to run and play like they were meant to play! Friendly humans too! Your dog will get dirty!

Fenced in and quite large for an urban dog park. No grass, just dirt, but got enough trees for shade during hot days. People are generally friendly and responsible and pick up after their dogs but once in a while you get people who bring not neutered male dogs here and they always cause trouble.

This place is just great for dogs. It is fully enclosed and they even have a water fountain for the dogs to drink water from. Spacious and right in Balboa Park area.

Great place to take the dog

Very nice and fun. Its all dirt though so dont be surprised if you of your doggo gets dirty.

Nice, large space for dogs to play!

Very large park. Its fenced in theres always other nice dogs around for my dog to play with.

Huge park, lots of dust.

Lots of dogs there. Great place for your dog to get excercise

This is an awesome dog park, very spacious, and very friendly.

Large park, lots of friendly dogs, and decent parking

The people and dogs are nice and the space is large, but the city doesnt grow grass in the park making it really dusty. ..

This is a great place to bring your pup. Lots of other furry friends here to play with. Its also a great stop if you are in the area and want to feed your dog fever. It is fenced in, and there is water accessible inside. Shaded and full sun areas. There is lots of parking available on nearby streets.

The dog park is nice but the fact that theres no grass is problematic.

Nice dog park, a bit bare but very large.

Great park for your furry friend to mingle.

Great dog park! Lots of other dogs there and most owners keep a close eye on their dogs. Of course, there ate always a couple who bring aggressive dogs that arent trained at all. My beagle is small and submissive and when a larger dog grabs him by the neck and mounts him, pinning him down, its time to take your dog home.Bring your own bowl. They have a water fountain but not a built in bowl.

Great park! Huge area for lots of dogs to play and run

Always very clean and the combination or trees, grass, hills and large fenced area make it my hands down favorite dog park in San Diego!

I LOVE THIS PARK

HUGE fenced in area for pups to run around. Wish they had separate areas fir smaller dogs and big dogs instead of one giant cesspool. Was worried my puppy would get trampled. All owners were mindful and watched their dogs. All in all great park in a great place.

Love going to this park. Lots of dogs of various sizes. My dogs had a great time.

Lots more trees planted. It was a great day to be there.

Great place to bring my dog. Its completely enclosed and all dirt. Sometimes the dogs here can be slightly rowdy, but there is plenty of space for everyone.

Fully fenced dog park with nearby parking and doggie water fountain

Great dog park for all sizes of dogs.

We like it, great dogs and dog parents and BIG. Oh, it is fenced as well. If you have an active dog it is dusty, thats the only downside.

This is a great park thats fenced. There are some nice shade trees and water fountains for you and your pup. There was grass years ago, but with all the heavy use, it was a lost cause.

Best dog park in San Diego! All fenced in & lots of room for dogs to run around.
