February 19, 2024 (Allied Gardens) – A new dog park opened last weekend in San Diego’s Allied Gardens neighborhood for pet owners to bring their dogs to frolic off-leash. The new park, next to the Allied Gardens Pool at 6707 Glenroy Street in San Diego, is larger than most other local dog parks.

The park features logs for agility training and seating, separate fenced areas for both large and small dogs,  a dog drinking fountain, trash and recycling bins, and dispensers with bags to clean up dog waste.

San Diego City Councilman Raul Campillo spoke at the grand opening, stating, “I’m proud to deliver this dog park – the first ever city-funded off-leash dog park in District 7 – for Allied Gardens residents and the surrounding Navajo area. Now, Navajo residents can enjoy a dog park in their own community rather than have to travel to other parts of the city to do so.”

The new dog park was funded with $389,000 in the city’s fiscal year 2024 budget for installation and maintenance.
