Fort Ord Community Dog Park

Pacchetti Dog Park is a volunteer-run community dog park. Our park is 1.7 acres long and ends at Noche Buena St., where dogs may get "up to speed" and get it "out of their system." With a separate section for little dogs and a walkway swept daily by volunteers, our park features trees, sun, pleasant breezes, and a glimpse of the beach.

A large dog park with a watering station. Non-residents must pay $30 per year per pet, while residents must pay $20 per year per pet. There are also day passes available. For more information, call (831) 394-8511.

Your dog will be ecstatic to be able to play at this dog-friendly beach. Although dogs are required to be leashed, many regulars allow their dogs to run free. On Monterey State Beach north of the Monterey Beach Hotel complex, dogs are not allowed at all.

At this laid-back, family-friendly Monterey beach, pets are welcome to join you on a leash.
