Our
mission is to preserve the Fiesta Island Leash-free Recreational
Area. We are a community based organization with
almost 7000 members which is rapidly growing. We are a diverse
group of citizens who share a common passion and vision for
Fiesta Island. We are the
largest user group of Fiesta Island and unlike other user
groups, we use the island 365 days a year, rain or shine.
FIDO has
a board of 11
members who are working hard with the city to find a reasonable
solution that
meets the needs of
'all'
Fiesta Island Users.

There are no walls with family pictures, no picket
fences and no kitchen tables where families share
meals. Yet to many, Fiesta Island is home.
The unkempt territory enables park patrons to
relinquish themselves to activities that involve
dedication, time and energy.
Fiesta Island is more than a city park operated
under San Diego Park and Recreation to some, it is a
place where cyclists ride bicycles, dog owners run
or walk in the sand with their dogs off-leash and
paddlers can launch their boats on calm waters. That
was the sentiment from community members who spoke
to the Mission Bay Park Committee (MBPC) at its July
meeting.

Don't be shy about asking someone
to pickup after their dog
If you see
someone not picking up, offer them a bag.
Let them
know, "this isn't
an official off-leash dog park and we need to keep it clean so
we don't lose this wonderful place!"
Many people still don't know that
our beloved fenced off-leash area is at risk and that we're
working diligently to save it.
