Dog Park Locations

PAWS Park is the only off-leash dog park in the Santa Ynez Valley. The park is completely enclosed, and there are two different areas for tiny and large paws. PAWS Park is a non-profit organization that relies on donations from supporters and volunteer effort to make it a safe and inviting area for our four-legged friends to run and play.

The 728-acre Barnett Ranch Preserve near Ramona, California, is dog-friendly and has 4 miles of multi-use trails, including a 2.5-mile loop for walking, running, biking, and equestrian riding. Because there is no water source other than a horse trough at the start of the trek, bring plenty of water. Keep an eye out for wildlife, such as coyotes and the possibility of seeing mountain lions. Because this is a high-risk wildfire area, be careful what you bring to your picnic; no candles or glass. On the hiking trails, there are no trash cans. Every day, from sunrise to sunset, pedestrian access is accessible. Petzooie must be kept on a leash at all times.

This dog park, which is located beyond the baseball fields at the very end of La Pata, has separate spaces for little and large canines. The majority of the land is grassy.

In the authorized area of this Petaluma park, your pet will enjoy exploring off-leash with you. Because the location is not fenced, exercise caution.

The Larkspur Path (Corte Madera-Larkspur Path) is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a nationwide network of trails from abandoned rail lines and connecting corridors. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Corte Madera! The trailhead for the Larkspur Path is shown on the map below (Corte Madera-Larkspur Path).

The Mt. Wilson Trail welcomes leashed pets. Sierra Madre to 2N45 is a 6-mile trail that begins and concludes in Sierra Madre (Mt Wilson Toll Road).

Terri Peak Trail at Lake Perris State Recreation Area is a moderately simple, dog-friendly 2.8 mile hike that will take Petzooie around 1.5 hours to accomplish. This well-marked track is an excellent method to prepare for walks at higher elevations. The trail includes some extremely steep sections where you will gain a significant amount of elevation, is a fantastic workout, and is open all year. This trail is open to dogs, but they must be kept on a leash. There is a cost to enter Lake Perris State Recreation Area. Fees are based on the number of vehicles. There is no price if you arrive on foot or by bike.
