The San Clemente Dog Park is an off-leash park. Hours of operation are from dawn to dusk. It is located at 301 Avenida La Pata, San Clemente, CA 92673. Since the opening of the dog park, San Clemente residents have gathered regularly to spend quality time together sharing everyone's individual ideas about the care and feeding of our "best friends" . . .what works. . . what doesn't . . . and how would Caesar Milan handle it.

Allowing dogs off-leash in the safety of a dog park is an excellent way to socialize dogs. Dogs who are shy or aggressive can learn to interact safely with other dogs if their owners take the time to learn about dog behavior and acclimate them at the dog park.

Dog parks are gaining in popularity, and dogs certainly know why - there is nothing as much fun for a dog (and its human) as to run around off-leash, and play together in a nice park.

Those of us fortunate enough to live in a community where dog parks exist know that they are a wonderful way to exercise and socialize our dogs and ourselves - for many of us, it is a primary form of people recreation!

Hope you enjoy your visit!
