(Free) Bark in the Park

Looking for an easy way to help your doggo socialize, burn off some energy, and make a few new furry friends? Then come join us for a laid-back morning of off-leash fun! Expect plenty of zoomies, ball chasing, triumphant stick parading, butt sniffing, and the occasional enthusiastic barking session — all in a safe, welcoming environment for pups and their humans alike. Vista Del Norte's Dog Park recently opened sporting two very large separate enclosures for different-sized dogs (<25 lbs and all weights), water fountains for thirsty pups, and the broader park has tree shaded seating for humans to relax and chat. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or just warming up to new friends, we hope they'll enjoy this great space to play at their own pace - and hey - you might make a new human friend or two while you're at it, too!
