San Elijo Hills Dog Park

Address: San Elijo Rd N, San Marcos, CA 92078

Perched on a hillside in San Marcos with open views, this off-leash park separates dogs by size with double-gated enclosures and offers grassy areas, water stations, and benches. The terrain is steep enough to slow things down, and with no shade overhead, hot days can be tough on dogs and people alike. Sections run small relative to the number of dogs that visit, though the park is kept clean.
