El Estero Dog Park is a 45-acre recreational facility bordered by Lake El Estero that is part of the larger El Estero Park Complex. The dog park is a small, shady grove across from the Monterey Youth Center and the park's well-known Dennis the Menace Playground. It's normally peaceful and secluded, and it allows your dog to run free in the otherwise controlled El Estero Park Complex.
