Dog Park Locations

The Pacifica State Beach (Linda Mar) welcomes pets. You can wander around this gorgeous Pacifica beach with spectacular ocean views with your pet on a leash. To maintain the cleanliness of the beach, dog owners are reminded to clean up any mess left behind by their pets.

Leashed pets are welcome at this Belmont park, where they'll be rewarded with a plunge in the pet-friendly pond at the end of their stroll.

Off-leash pets are welcome to join you on this beautiful, rocky beach. Turn east on N. on the north end of the Noyo Bridge (left heading south, right going north) to get to the Noyo Beach park. Follow Port Drive down the steep hill into the harbor, beneath the bridge, and down to the beach. Stop at Nemo's Fishmarket on N. after visiting the beach. You and your dog may have lunch on the deck at Harbor Drive.

This 155-acre Reserve is a crucial component of the Peninsula's natural ecosystem and a substantial section of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, with some of the best remaining native wildlife habitat and hiking routes.

At the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park and Nature Center is a natural preserve. Hiking through this well-located public park will reward you with the sight of a lovely waterfall. On-leash pets are accepted.

Grays Peak Trail in San Bernardino National Forest is a dog-friendly, moderately simple, 6.4-mile out-and-back trip that will take around 3.5 hours to accomplish with Petzooie. This trail is located on the north side of the lake and leads to the backside of the mountain, where the water views are lost. However, the calm, quiet, and vast views that replace the view of the river are well worth the sacrifice. Due to habitat preservation, this location may be closed. Because this trailhead is located in bald eagle habitat, it is closed from winter to spring, and sometimes into summer, while the eagles are nesting.

During the off-season, the Palisades Tahoe Aerial Tram in Olympic Valley, CA, is dog-friendly. When the ski season is over, grab your dog and ride the aerial tram for a scenic ride. The tram journey up the mountain costs money, but if you climb up to high camp (height 8200 ft) with Fido, the tram will give you both a free ride back. The Shirley Lake Trail is the best way to get there. Shirley Lake, a renowned dog-friendly swimming hole, is a 3-hour hike with a rest stop. Petzooie is also welcome at the tram's top restaurant's outdoor tables.

MacKay Park Bark Park near Lake Arrowhead, California, is a dog-friendly park with hiking trails, vistas of Lake Arrowhead, mountains, and animals. There are separate fenced-in sections for large and small dogs at the park.

This dog park is one of San Francisco's largest, with lots of space for on- and off-leash activity. The terrain is steep but beautiful. Plastic bags are available at both park entrances, at the parking lot at the intersection of Folsom and Bernal Heights (north entrance) or at the dead end of Bernal Heights (south entrance) (south entrance).

The two-acre Recreation Park Dog Park has separate gated sections for little and large dogs. There are also trees, chairs, water, and trash cans in the park. Mondays before noon, the park may be closed for repairs.
