About the Park
Puppy Playpen is an off-leash dog area in Ukiah, the Mendocino County seat in inland Northern California. It is free to use and gives area dogs a place to run and socialize. Ukiah's inland valley climate brings hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, so carry water and favor morning or evening visits when the weather is warm. On-site details such as posted hours, fencing, and whether the run splits small and large dogs are not confirmed here, so read the signs when you arrive. Bring waste bags, and watch your dog as it plays with others in the shared off-leash space.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Puppy Playpen 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, Puppy Playpen is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
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.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
