Little Italy Dog Park — Attraction in San Diego

We started going to the Little Italy Dog Park about 5 months ago and now it's the only park we frequent. It's a smaller dog Park but the folks that are regulars here are very nice and are, for the most part, responsible and clean up after their fur buddies. Almost every dog that is brought here is mild mannered and well behaved. As a matter of fact I've only witnessed any kind of dog aggression once or twice in the entire time that I've been coming here. Kodi, our Shiba Inu loves it and has made quite a few friends here, canine and otherwise 😉 The only drawback about this dog park is the parking. Somedays it's kind of difficult, but Not impossible, to find a parking spot.

I barely caught him by the collar before he slipped through. I wouldn’t bring any small or skinny dog to this park. Plus it was difficult to find parking. I won’t be going to this...

It's small and probably great if you live in the area or want to give your dog a break from the Saturday Farmers Market. It's also adjacent to an outdoor , shady snack/coffee bar, so it's a place for a human with a dog to take a break from the Farmers market crowd as well. On the other hand, it's not worth driving there, especially on a Saturday, if want your dog to run and get some exercise. I am not keen on dog parks anyway so this one did not change my mind.
