Find the dog park entrance

The city recreation guide places the Dog Haus concession stand directly north of the dog park. Keep your dog leashed until you are inside the correct area.
Three fenced play areas
Mast Park separates puppies, small and medium dogs, and large dogs. Check the posted weight and age signs before entering, and use the section that matches your dog. The fenced layout and agility features give dogs room for running, training and social play.
The wider park includes two miles of trails, exercise equipment, a playground, restrooms, picnic shelters, basketball and disc golf. Dogs must remain leashed on park paths and in all areas outside the designated off-leash enclosures.
Rules before you enter
Santee requires dogs to be licensed and under effective voice control. Owners must clean up waste and prevent their dogs from biting or harassing people or animals. Dogs must stay out of playgrounds, landscaped areas, sports courts and picnic areas.
Keep your dog leashed until you reach the off-leash area and leash again before using sidewalks or trails. Puppies using the puppy section must be vaccinated and older than four months.
