Billy Goat Hill

This neighborhood park features a fenced, off-leash dog park where your dog may mingle with the locals.

For man's best friend, Upper Noe Park in San Francisco's Noe Valley features a tiny fenced-in off-leash dog park. This is a fenced-in, extremely small official Dog Play Area that's easy to miss. There isn't a blade of grass to be discovered (has bare dirt substrate).

With plenty of pathways and open areas, Glen Canyon Park is a lovely spot for dogs and their humans to explore together. All pets must be kept on a leash at all times.

Bring your dog to this public park's upper field for some off-leash fun. From November to March, the museum is closed.

This little off-leash dog park in San Francisco's Bernal Heights district has both grassy areas and a paved path with bench seating.

Bernal Heights' best hidden secret is this lovely little park. It's a terrific area for dogs to socialize and play catch with their owners. It's also a fantastic area for dog owners to meet up with other dog owners. Although posted signs state that dogs must be kept on a leash, most people let their dogs run free. The beauty of this park is that owners pick up after their dogs, and dogs are amazingly friendly toward other dogs and people, perhaps because it is a tiny park and owners are near by. The park is primarily made up of grass, with walkways and numerous trees. At the top of the hill, there is a fenced-in baseball pitch, two fenced-in kiddie playgrounds, and fenced-in BBQ places.
