About the Park
Costa Mesa Bark Park offers off-leash play in Costa Mesa, an Orange County city just inland from the Newport Beach coast. It is free to use as a public park, so no fee is required to bring your dog. The area's mild Southern California coastal climate makes for pleasant outings much of the year, though water is always worth packing on warmer afternoons. Our records do not confirm whether the park is fenced or what surface it uses, so check the enclosure and footing before letting your dog run loose. Posted hours are not listed here; a quick local check will tell you when the gates are open so your trip is not cut short at the entrance.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Costa Mesa Bark Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Costa Mesa Bark Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
