Coronado Cays Dog Park — Attraction in Coronado

Great off-leash dog park with grass! Shade is limited more to one area of the park, but the park is pretty big. There are regular and dog drinking fountains and dog bags provided. Park is well kept and clean and I've had no issues with aggressive dogs while mine are playing here. Only downside is that there is only a fence on part of the park (plenty high to keep them away from the bike path and Silver Strand road) but not one by the residential road. Depending on where you are at in the park, you could be plenty far away from that road, but people with canine "escape artists" might want to check it out first before bringing their pup. There is a baseball park and playground nearby, along with a jogging path. Free parallel street parking is near the edge of the park by the "Dog Run" sign, but there is a free parking lot on the opposite side of the park...

That said, I had a weird experience today with a middle-aged woman, her husband and her medium-sized brown dog. They were tossing a blue ball, and my dog, being a dog, ran off with it. She started scolding me like it was some huge offense. Honestly, if you bring your dog (and its toys) to an off-leash park, you should expect other dogs to interact. It’s happened to me plenty of times, and I’ve never made a scene about it. I just walked away rather than engage, but hopefully she sees this and rethinks how she treats other people...

This is a great place to bring the family, your 4-legged child, and the picnic basket. Be ready for a great time in this beautiful and peaceful park. A few mature trees in the park provide some shade, but it's mostly a big open place. The bathroom is accessible, nearby. There is plenty of parking available. No direct access to the ocean, but it is a short 10-minute walk away. The park is huge! There is plenty of space for the kids to run around. Also, it's ideal for flying kites on windy days. The playground is...
