You can fit at least 100 dogs in that space.

If you have any plans for hard space, do it now! You can build garden pathways with room for new orchard trees and planter beds on the right, and plan for some protective shrubs along the back, so maybe get a fence up or something? If

The correct answer is more dogs. They’ll fit there perfectly.

A labyrinth. Seen in 2 separate gardens on the Theodore Payne Native Plant garden tour. Since it was a couple months ago one had some poppies flowering. Invisible when weeds and wildflowers are going, something interesting the rest of the year. Wish I’d seen that before I replaced my circular lawn with a native meadow. Would be super fun cutting down the dry stuff seasonally though. Perhaps a zen type garden could work if you think way outside the box. Could use light colored flagstones or pavers so it’s safer for dog play and easier to edge.
Put in a garden. A lot of work but there are lots of low growing native plants that would steal the show when flowering then turn into a neutral backdrop. Native bunch grasses in drifts between low ceanothus, buckwheats and so on would be amazing if allowed. My dogs are not fans of wood chips used as mulch and I’d be afraid of trampling and urine with low plantings and normal sized dog plus terrible for fetch unless I throw straight down the paths but lizard hunting is terrific. See Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s meadow for how amazing it could be.
