This is Bob the Schipperke's 139th dog park. Bob is a dog who has traveled the USA and visiting dog…read moreparks, but Santa Cruz county is home. For a county park this is a good, single section, "all dog" park. It has a good double gate, water, bags for dog cleanup, and a trash can. Parking is good, and the location is away from the main roads which is always a plus. It has one big tree for shade, and a child's playground nearby. The tractor gate (single gate that is extra wide for tractors) is locked (as it should be). Bathrooms are nearby, and scenery is fantastic. The local Spreckles Boy Scouts did a great job! We visited on 3 April 2024, a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Others were here before we popped in. Will come here again.

Nice all dog park. It doesn't have a small size dog park, hence the all dog park title. Has…read moreeverything a dog park needs, fence, double gate, water, bags and wood bark. It's big enough for dogs to run, but a little too small to play disk in. Easy to throw it out of the dog park with the tailwind. Bathroom and playground near by so the entire family, four legged included can go and enjoy the park for the day.

I feel like I would rate this park higher if I had a big dog, because the large dog area looks very…read morenice, almost like a walking path and it seems a lot of people use the large dog area. Unfortunately I have a smaller dog and the small dog area is quite small. Not many people seem to come to the small dog area and I don't blame them. Although there is some seating and some shade, there is no grass and not a lot of room to run. Parking is convenient as the park is on a corner so street parking was available when we arrived. This park was ok, but I probably won't come back; the beach is just too close to use this park again.

It's a beautiful, peaceful area with lots of trees and trails to explore, and our pups absolutely loved being able to adventure with us. It was the perfect place to enjoy some fresh air, get a walk in, and spend time outdoors together. We especially appreciated that it's dog-friendly and even has designated off-leash hours. Such a hidden gem in Pacific Grove! We'll definitely be back with our pups.

So Pacific Grove is a very cool little town. I happened upon this space on a costal road trip with…read moremy dog, and fell in love. This open space has trails for miles and off leash hours! The one thing I would be careful of, is that during the off leash hours, people still come (without dogs) to run the trails. If you have a protective dog like I do, just be aware that a random man could pop out of no where running towards you. He might just be using the space as it's intended, but your off leash dog may get scared and bark at him to not run at his mommy. Just something I encountered. I notice that a lot of men like to use off leash dog trails as their personal running trails. Not sure if they like testing the restraint of dogs, or they don't care that certain hours and spaces aren't really meant for them, and while they have the luxury of running free anywhere, our dogs only have the option to run free in certain places...but it's really becoming a thing everywhere we go, and unfortunately this space is no exception.

Unfortunately this dog park has a disproportionate number of inconsiderate owners compared to other parks in the Monterey Bay. Many unfixed, unvaccinated, untrained, and aggressive dogs that will attack or hump your dog repeatedly. I came with a friend last summer and both our dogs picked up a respiratory/eye infection. Because of this, you'll often find people walk their dogs on the track instead of using the dog park. I usually do this unless I recognize the dogs at the park.

Huge sign that signs 30 LBS ONLY in the large side too.. its every single time ive come here its been so many small dogs with big dogs (and the small dogs are nipping and barking because they're scared) and the owners have no respect. Also "because of covid" everyone has VERY unsocialized dogs here. My dog has been snapped on multiple times for no reason because owners havent socialized their aggressive dogs and decide to take them to the off leash park. and he is literally the sweetest boy, he COWARDS when dogs are aggressive. again, ive been going to parks with my boy for 8 months 3 times a werk and it has always been great experiences.
