Location

Goleta, California

Description

Fully fenced approx half acre, 6' tall, overlooking the ocean on Orella Ranch, the former home of Sam's Doggie Dude Ranch and now the home of Elite Pup Training & Boarding. Best to bring your own water and bowl as we only have very hard well water.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There may be an occasional lump of horse manure but it is very rare. When we worm our horses, we do NOT let them in the dog park for three weeks. If not within 48 hours of a worming, horse manure isn't bad for horses; it is dried up grass. On occasion, for a short time, there may be a visible livestock guardian dog that may bark at dogs in the park. He is not a danger, just doing his job.
