About the Park
Off-leash time on Bakersfield's west side is the draw at Highgate Dog Park, which serves the 93314 zip code. It is a free public park, so there is no membership or day fee to plan around. West Bakersfield is one of the city's growing residential areas, and a neighborhood dog park like this one is most useful for nearby households wanting a quick daily run rather than a destination outing. Fencing status, surface type, and posted hours are not in our records, so verify the setup on site before going off leash. In Bakersfield's hot, dry climate, shade and water are never guaranteed — bring your own water and favor cooler hours in summer.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Highgate Dog 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, Highgate Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.

High-value treats
