Kearny Mesa Community Park - Mesa College area
Located at 3170 Armstrong Street, this 1 acre park offers one area for all dogs. The site is near lit ball fields which "spill" on to the leash free site which allows for evening use. According to a reader who suggested this park, the users help keep water & bags available for those who forget and they're currently fundraising for a dog-water fountain and a second gate. Parking can be a challenge during the day as the closest parking lot is used by students attending Mesa College. Google Map
