Redwood Park

Trails lead into the redwoods from a tranquil area. Because there are houses between the woods and the roadway, it is safe to let your dog off the leash. Many dogs will be off leash, however mountain bikers should be avoided.

This dog-friendly Arcata beach with dunes and large stretches of sand welcomes pets on leash.

This is a town park where dogs are free to run and play. It features a huge open area as well as wooded walks that often lead to wonderful seaside views. Three of the pathways go to a tiny river that runs parallel to the ocean beach, although the ascent is quite difficult. Friendly dogs are welcome everywhere except the fenced-in children's playground, which is open all year. A paved bike/walk route is also available, where dogs on leash are welcome.

Everyone seems to bring their dogs to this fantastic dog-friendly mall! Village at Corte Madera offers exceptional food, entertainment, and shopping for everyone.

When registering, all dog park visitors must present proof of their dog's rabies, Bordetella, Distemper vaccination (DHLPP), and spay/neuter. The fee covers one year of membership for up to three dogs and is $40.00 for locals and $55.00 for non-residents. A secure access system is in place, with members being given a passcode to enter.

Fully walled off-leash dog park with a separate little dog section. Toys and poop bags, as well as a doggy water fountain, are available.
