My favorite of all the local dog parks. Point Isabel is a clean off-leash area adjacent to the canal, though it has not been designated officially as an off-leash park. It’s one of those unsaid things. I love it here because the walk for owners is more than pleasant, with a great view of the Bay. Should Fido decides to do a swim and roll routine, no worries. Walk him across the street to the dog wash service.

• Not fenced.
• Off leash.
• Lots of free parking.
  
• It is not really playground. Better for strolling (photo below).
  
• It is adjacent to a protected wildlife conservation, so no eating the birds.
• Biodegradable bags are provided.
• Not a whole lot of water fountains, so dogs will try to drink salt water.
  
• Water is in the channel is clean enough to swim in, but ocean side is better (photo above).
• Very well-kept.
• Can be windy often, so bring layers.
  
• There is a Costco is near by.
