Oceanside Dog Park 1

One thing I loved about the SPCA is the off-leash dog park that is next door. We took Jonas there, at least, a couple of times a week and he always had a blast playing with the other dogs. It was a great spot to meet individuals with similar interests as we met some of our very best friends at the park. There is a large area for larger breeds, and a separate smaller area for small breeds.

The grassy park is situated on a hill so the dogs get a great workout running up and down. Feel free to make the trek up the small hill, or take a rest on one of the benches at the front of the park. The park has a “water fountain” for the dogs and there are trash cans and bags to clean up after your dog. This is an OFF-LEASH dog park, so make sure your dog can play well with others….or keep them on leash in the park until you feel they are socialized. I would not recommend bringing very small children to this park since the dogs are able to run free, but if you must bring your small children, keep them close to you for safety and don’t let them run free with the dogs.
