About the Park
The northeast corner of Balboa Park belongs to Morley Field, and the dog park there is one of San Diego's most established off-leash areas, an easy reach from North Park. Our listing verifies free entry and off-leash use but records no fencing, surface, or hours information, so treat posted signage as the authority — off-leash zones around Balboa Park often have specific time and boundary rules. The surrounding Morley Field sports complex brings plenty of other activity to this section of the park, so leashed walks before or after are easy to add. With San Diego's mild weather there is no real off-season; early morning is the comfortable choice in late summer.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Morley Field 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, Morley Field 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.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
