Morley Field Dog Park — Attraction in San Diego

I really like this dog park, but it's not for everyone. I say this because it's not enclosed. If you have a 'wanderer' or a dog that doesn't come when called, it would be problematic.

It's a beautiful park, but it's also located in a canyon. I've heard from others that coyotes can be a problem.

Irresponsible owners and city for this so called "dog park". Will not...
