About the Park
Phenix Dog Park sits in Benicia, the small waterfront city on the Carquinez Strait in Solano County. This is the large-dog area, a fully fenced off-leash space where bigger dogs can run without sharing the run with smaller breeds. The perimeter fencing gives owners a secure spot to unclip the leash and let dogs move freely. Admission is free, since it operates as a public city park. Benicia's mild Bay Area climate keeps the park usable through much of the year, though summer afternoons near the water can turn breezy. Hours and any posted rules are managed by the City of Benicia, so check the city parks page before a first visit. Bring your own water and waste bags to be safe.
