Came here for a family event. Great views of Mission Bay.

This is a great spot if you want your dog to be well socialized around a lot of exciting stimuli. I bring my pup here for training purposes, to help him learn to be calm, focused, and responsive to commands on and off leash when there are a lot of distractions in a relatively small area. This includes little league, basketball, tennis, wall ball, playground, snack bar, strollers, scooters, bicycles, people of all ages, lots of kids running around, and of course other dogs. The off-leash area is not like other dog parks I’ve been to in that the dogs don’t seem to directly interact with one another very often. I mostly see owners throwing balls or frisbees for their dogs to retrieve, and it’s usually only the young ones that initiate play with other dogs. But that’s fine because regardless, it’s still a good place for general socialization skills. Be aware there’s minimal fencing and the area is surrounded by residential streets, so be cautious and astute if your dog tends to get overwhelmed or doesn’t have good recall.

This is my local dog park and I have been coming here my whole life. The whole park is beautiful. Go before the sun goes down to avoid bugs. When baseball season is going on go later to avoid the T-ballers or bring a couple bucks to cover the nachos and hot dogs they leave around. I have a lab and she eats everything…

What we like about this off-leash area: Trees! Shade, benches, view, grass(as opposed to dirt/rocks at other off leash parks), restrooms, not a fenced in cage. Didn’t like: not as large as we thought it would be, other activities(like swings, sandbox, tennis courts) a little too close to dog area. Overall, a great little park — our dogs had a fun time chasing the ball and meeting other friendly dogs.

Nice baseball fields with great views of Mission Bay. When my son was in little league we were fortunate enough to play some games over here and we were able to visit again over the weekend to catch a game. This park is tucked back in a neighborhood and the parking lot is a little small so parking on the street is probably the best option. The city or local parents do a very nice job of providing maintenance for the field. A real nice place to catch a baseball game for the young ones.

Wow, that is pretty cool that I can post that I love my local Dog park. Ok so Cadman aka«Little Padres Park» is the bastard stepchild of Kate Sessions, as it is 175 feet lower, and is not in La Jolla. It does however have some great views of Mission Bay, on a clear day the Coronados, and even that mesa in Mx. It is a great spot with nice dog ppl. A kiddie playground and a great little league group.
