Dog Park Features
Overview
Set on a big, lush hillside in Jefferson Square Park, this unfenced play area gives dogs room to zoom, roam, and romp off leash right in the Fillmore. Shady spots and a relaxed, friendly crowd make it a favorite neighborhood hangout for both pups and people.
Details
Jefferson Square Dog Play Area is essentially a wide, grassy hill where local dogs run freely, chasing balls and each other across soft turf with city views in the background. Regulars mention plenty of shade from trees, which makes it comfortable to linger on warm days while your dog explores the slopes or joins the loose pack that tends to gather in the middle of the park. The terrain is mostly on an incline, so there’s a smaller flat section better suited for fetch or gentler play, while high‑energy pups love sprinting up and down the hill. Owners consistently describe the vibe as welcoming, with friendly dogs, easygoing conversations, and lots of space to spread out—just keep in mind there’s no fencing, so it’s best for dogs with reliable recall.
