Cayucoa Dog Park

While this city is definitely dog friendly, there are very few areas where dogs can run leash free.
Located just outside the northernmost part of old downtown Cambria, the park is located by following a curvatious road until you find yourself surrounded by farmland and fields where hawks lazily circle the sky, and giddy wild turkeys hide in the surrounding trees and shrubs, only giving away their secret hideaways by an unexpected yet charming gobble gobble. The golden rolling hills, pines and oaks that encircled the area are serene. This is a welcome answer to us visiting dog lovers.
Completely fenced in and gated, the park has one side for big pups, a smaller side for small. Landscaping is exclusively tree bark on the ground, no grass to mow. There are no trees, but probably not missed since you are enjoying the ocean influence. There are lots of benches and chairs, and many well used and soggy tennis balls and frisbies left behind to play fetch. Parking is a dusty parking lot.
Along the fence hang more than a few simple dog memorials dedicated to those pets that left us humans behind. I liken it to stuff your precious children made when in kindergarten, with a name, paw print and some pretty stones pressed into rounds of plaster. And then there is the solitary wind chime with a bell that happily responds to the urging of the gentle ocean breezes. This is a magical place for me and Lilly pup.
I encountered only friendly dogs, friendly owners, and responsible locals who took the time to keep the place clean and supplied with water and poopie bags for the next visitor. Thank you City of Cambria for this clean and thoughtful park.

lots of fun doggehs frequent here! big area to run and a nice location right down the road from downtown cambria. they also have tennis racquets for you to use.

Dog park # 52 for us in 4 years.
Excellent dog park with great attention to detail and cleanliness.
Separate area for little dogs and all dogs, double gated, trash, water, fresh bark chips yesterday, tennis balls and racquets provided as well as benches, nice dogs, nice people… and a lot of parking. Beautiful setting on the edge of town with hawks flying overhead.
They have a nice handle on membership although you do NOT need to be a member to go (we are not, we were welcomed).

Great dog park. Separate areas for big and small dogs. My 2 dogs were the only ones there around 3 pm on a Thursday but they still enjoyed it. Lots of tennis balls and water for the pups and seating for the people. One of my dogs seemed to be bothered by the wood chips but it keeps the mud and weeds away and probably deters from digging.

Cambria is just beautiful! This dog park is no exception. Wood chips blanket the ground with a few patches of weeds. The middle of this acre of land looks very worn from happy dogs chasing balls over and over again.
Ten benches surround the park as well as a picnic table.
Adjacent to the big dog park is a small thin dog park for smaller dogs.
There is no running water, but they did have a large water jug for pups to drink. It is obvious that this park is well cared for. They do supply poop bags.
We came here around 9:30 in the morning and there were 7 dogs in the the big area and a couple small dogs in the small area. Our dog had the best time running around. It was nice that there was not any muddy areas.

We had been camping for close to a week and the dogs were so ready to stretch their legs and run. This dog park appeared like an oasis at the end of Main Street and was just what we needed.
Annie, our Cairn Terrier was delighted to find many balls supplied. The two Cavaliers aren’t into balls but they truly love to chase Annie as she zooms after a ball.
This park seems to be well cared for with an active participation by locals. Rumor has it that a new park will be coming to town. My guess is that there are plenty of dogs to go around.
