I love that they have so much nature areas that the kids can run and climb on besides the playground. They also have a basketball court, tennis court and basebAll! Downside: bathroom is not clean but I know I shouldn't expect much from a park. Best part: little library right next to the tennis court. It also has a lot of trails! We saw 2 deers too!!! This is what happens when you come from LA! Nature is a wonderful thing!

There is a playground for 2-5 year olds right next to a playground for 5-12 year olds. Across the grass from the playgrounds, there is a baseball field, with a basketball court next to it. On the other side from the playground are some very quiet tennis courts. Plus there are bathrooms, benches, and a fairly large picnic area up above. Also, there's walking paths around it and a canyon behind it. We took my dog today and did not see any No Dog signs, except understandably, on the baseball field and in the tennis courts. You should definitely keep them on a leash though because there are squirrels and other wildlife (deer, birds) in the park. Plus the park is surrounded by streets.

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.

There isn't any water or dog bags, but there are garbages and a shovel. I believe last time we went there were bowls too.

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.

This is a beautiful area to walk your dog, and we met many dogs along the way. We found out that it's not a great place to bring a stroller because of all the tree roots. You cannot walk very far in any one direction because you will come upon a road on all sides of the area. And yet, it is still possible to lose your way because there are many paths, and they are all unnamed. Also, there are no signs to direct you. (I saw another review mention trail markers, but I did not notice them.) I am embarressed to say that I got turned around and thought our car was one way when it was actually the opposite way; this was a rare occasion in which my husband was right. LOL.

This is a brand new dog park in a nice area near the hotel we were staying at this week so we…read morestopped here to try it out. Because it's new, the fencing and tables and landscaping are all in good condition. But this park is lacking a lot. The first thing we noticed when we entered is that the gates do not latch, they are push gates. This is very unsafe as large dogs could easily push through and then let other dogs out. They are also slow closing gates which allows the dogs more time to run in and out. The park is on the corner and there is street traffic. This should be remedied immediately for the safety of all dogs using this park. Second, this park had no water available for the dogs! No water bowls, no hose or pools, not even a spigot to run water out of people who had their own receptacles with them. There is zero water available. I don't understand how a dog park gets built with no water station. The park is entirely sand and cement and while sand may possibly be better for some larger breeds joints, it is a very poor material to choose for a dog park. Sand holds in heat and can burn dogs paws on a hot day . It also holds bacteria . For us, it was noticeably messy and is definitely not good for dogs and people prone to slipping. While we were visiting the park, someone from an animal rescue dropped off about a dozen used balls and a frisbee. While that seems more like dumping to me, I hope it's an indicator that the community likes this park and that it will be used and treasured and in that spirit, I hope that they will come together to remedy some of the issues that the designers clearly did not care enough to think through or address. As aesthetically lovely as the park looks, we would definitely not bring our pup back here.

Dogs are not allowed, so there is only a few deer poops to contend with in the grass. There is also several large picnic tables throughout the park, so you can bring a lunch or sit and enjoy a coffee while the kiddos play in the play area. They also have small restrooms on site that are in reasonably clean condition. This park is only a block walk from a local coffee shop, or you can walk about two blocks in the opposite direction and be at Lover's Point. Bring a jacket though, as the proximity to the water can deliver some chiller winds when the marine layer is moving in/out.
