Delmas Dog Park is located on the corner of Park Avenue and Delmas Avenue, includes many dog-friendly amenities: a completely fenced and double-gated entrance, decomposed granite walking path with bark-mulch dog area, tables and benches, drinking fountains with dog bowls, plenty of security lighting, and mutt mitts. Just over 17,000 square feet, the dog park is the first joint venture between the City of San José and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority to create a useful area for nearby residents and their four-legged companions.

Fontana Dog Park is located at Golden Oak and Paseo Pueblo opened September 17, 2005.

The first dog park to open was Miyuki Dog Park. It is located at the end of Miyuki Drive off Santa Theresa Boulevard. This small dirt area is fenced with a double-gated entry and includes a bench for owners to sit and enjoy their dogs at play. Miyuki also features a pooper-scooper dispenser for your convenience. Be sure to take water for your dog, as there are no fountains available.
