Our Goal

To keep our current fenced, off-leash area intact without roads or other intrusive additions, for the use of all citizens of San Diego.

• Unlike all other Mission Bay users, dog owners have no other place to go.
• This area is enjoyed in it's natural state by dog owners and others alike, 365 days a year.
• Off-leash users are the largest user group (by thousands!) currently utilizing the fenced, off-leash section of Fiesta island.
• San Diego has a wonderful opportunity to recognize and preserve the unique character of Fiesta Island.
• San Diego needs to plan for off-leash use while the opportunity still exists.
• Open space is a thing of the past in San Diego.  We need to preserve what we have.
• Because Fiesta Island is not the same cookie cutter “cement tables and turf” type park experience, it supports the diverse needs of families with and without dogs.
• Because when dogs were banned from all other beaches in the City of San Diego in 1972, and ordinance was created to allow for off-leash use in Fiesta Island.

“Fiesta Island should be a place where city residents and visitors alike find the 
ultimate refuge from urban congestion, noise and visual clutter.”
