You can be in the main area where most dogs interact aka the area immediately in front of the gate or walk alongside the edges or the wings of the park and have it be a bit more secluded.

I love this dog park! It's kind of hidden away from main road in a business area. Parking is at…read morethe bottom of the hill. There is plenty of parking - we've come at all times of the day and have never had an issue. You climb up a small hill and at the top you reach a large open grassy field. The trees are surrounding the border so you get a little bit of shade on the edges depending on the time of day. Also around the borders there are concrete benches to sit at, but we usually bring our own chairs. Our dog loves the open space here! So much room to run after her frisbee or chase other dogs. She definitely had good interactions with the dogs here, most seem very well socialized and the owners we've met have been friendly. Some things to keep in mind: - There are no poop bags, so you should bring your own. For a place that doesn't have them available, most of the owners here appear very responsible and have their own to clean up after their own pet. I've seen other parks with bags on site and the owners still don't pick up after their dog. - there are no water stations/fountains. However there are bowls around so you can bring water to fill them. - there are no fences. So once you climb up the hill, you're in an open park that has a natural barrier of shrubbery but I think there could be potential for dogs to wander away or out of it. We feel comfortable with our pup because her recall is pretty good. - lastly, no bathrooms!

We love walking along the wide open trails while waiting for the dogs to dry off from swimming. There's also an area with several bowls and water jugs for them to get a drink. It can get crowded at times, especially on the weekends, so we usually go on a weekday and grab lunch at a nearby dog friendly restaurant afterwards. There is plenty of free parking, no bathrooms, maybe a port-a-potty around. Totally worth checking out.

I am so lucky to live only 5 minutes from Fiesta Island. I bring my dog here often and she enjoys…read morebeing off leash, sniffing everything, and having zoomies in the water. In the fenced dog park, we've had the good fortune of nearly always coming across other friendly dogs & dog guardians (with only one exception that happened a few years ago) so I feel like that's been pretty great for us socially. The terrain at Fiesta island is slightly rocky, hard packed sand and looser sand closer to the shoreline. I usually wear flip flops if I'm going to play with Cali in the water, but sneakers or trail shoes can also be practical here to avoid stubbed toes on the steeper inclines. We can easily get close to 10,000 steps just walking around the perimeter of the dog area. The walking path for all of Fiesta Island is 4.2 miles! In the springtime, the dog park has experienced wildflower superblooms which are magnificent to witness. There are a few benches under the copse of trees, but otherwise, if you want to sit, it'll be on sand or a chair or blanket you brought. Make sure you bring plenty of drinking water! It can get very hot, and there's no public potable water in the park. Recreationally, I have also had the pleasure of riding a horse at Fiesta as well. So much fun! Fiesta does mean party after all, right? I've seen all sorts of other recreational things happening at Fiesta outside of the dog park area, too... kayaking, jet skiing, swimming, grilling, chilling, and enjoying the water. Of course, there are designated fire pits! I've also seen a little 4x4 action on the sand, boating, kiteboarding, and model airplane flying... Fiesta really does have something for everyone. Notes: It can get very busy and crowded in the summer though so I avoid it on days when I know everyone is going to be out! Portapotties here and there... not that many though! "Fiesta Island, situated within Mission Bay, is a sprawling park that attracts numerous charity walks, runs, bicycle races and special events. It is particularly renowned as the host of the annual Over-the-Line tournament. Accessible from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, this peninsula offers a plethora of recreational opportunities. Notably, Fiesta Island welcomes both dogs and horses, making it a pet-friendly haven. Dogs can roam freely, either on or off leash, but owners are kindly reminded to clean up after their pets. On the island, visitors can find the Fiesta Island Youth Camp and the Aquatic Center, which cater to the community's diverse interests and needs. To ensure safety and preserve the environment, fires are permitted exclusively within the city-provided fire rings that dot the island's shoreline. These fire rings operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Portable fire containers and fires directly on the sand are strictly prohibited. For water sports enthusiasts, there is a designated 5 m.p.h. zone on the island's east side, which serves as a favored spot for recreational activities. Additionally, there is a permitted water ski area called Hidden Cove, and those interested in water skiing can obtain permits exclusively from the City of Diego Lifeguards at their headquarters, located at 2581 Quivira Court."

There was a pack of about 5 huskies and other mixed breeds with two older gentlemen who I will not name, who are not able to control their dogs. All of their pack was nipping at my dogs neck and tumbling her to the point where she was squealing, all while my dog was submitting and laying on the ground for this pack. I calmly tried to separate his pack from my dog and I was met with "stop it is just play" "she is fine" and two other people tried to chime in and tell me "no it is just play" and basically telling me to let my dog be ganged up on. I'm sure many of you reading this review will agree 5 adult "PACKED" dogs biting at the neck of 1 puppy is absolutely not play. It is aggressive pack mentality and it is no exception that at every dog park if you cannot control your dog/dogs then they need to be leashed or don't take your dog to a dog park. There is an older generation that frequently come to this dog park and act like they run the place and will try to bully you around. I hope nobody else has to experience what I did but be mindful when you come to this park don't be afraid to stand up for you and your dog. They will gaslight you and tell you that your dog is the one that needs to be controlled and leashed.

There's also a row of small fountains for kids to play, run through and splash in. Cons: It's a really nice park ON A COOL DAY. Lately, with temperatures 10 to 19° above "normal average" - or maybe it's just the new normal - it's hard to recall the last time we got to experience a cool day. But here, the way the gazebos, tables, and benches are set up reflects a pretty severe case of denial that this is Southern California, and not quite within walking distance from the beach. It WILL get hot whenever it damn pleases, with or without notice. It did so in February already, in case you missed it. We came a few times for the farmers market. Both days were unfortunately " 80°F" her weather report, which in reality feels like 92°F, and we had to scramble to find a little bit of shade, so that we could eat our street food without passing out from heat stroke. We huddled awkwardly on the curb under a small tree. Other people passing by with food in their hands looked at us with envy. NOT A SINGLE PERSON sat on the readily available benches with tables, because they were in the blazing sun, yet lacked any shade. Never mind an umbrella, not even holes to put one in!! Denial much?? It's really sad, because it's a beautiful place. It just DESPERATELY needs more shade for the visitors to feel comfortable without clinging to trees or the bathroom walls.

We brought Stitch and Tink to play with old friends and meet new ones. This a group hosted specifically for rescue Bulldogs. Pups were so cute and played nice together. I was annoyed that a dog owner not part of our group for not watching her dog who was incessantly harassing one of the rescue pups. I finally told her to get her dog or he'll get bitten to which she replied, "maybe he needs to." She picked him up for a few minutes. The second she pup him down he headed right over to the same dog and was right at it again. Some one else asked her if she was ok when her dog getting bitten. I was here volunteering for the dog rescue. She is the reason why I don't bring my own dog to dog parks are beaches. I can't trust other dog owners to supervise their pets. There are plenty of trash receptacles and at least two bathrooms and water fountains that I saw. Abundant parking as well.
