Hellman Hollow

One of San Francisco's most popular pet-friendly parks is Golden Gate Park. Dogs have their own off-leash area near the Fulton St. and 38th Ave. entrance. There are four separate off-leash areas: the southeast section between Lincoln Way, King Drive, and 2nd and 7th Avenues; the northeast section between Stanyan and Grove Streets; the southcentral area between King Drive, Middle Drive, and 34th and 38th Avenues; and the fenced training area between 38th and Fulton Avenues.

Grandview Park is a favorite of locals and visitors alike, featuring spectacular vistas, a modest network of pathways, and a dune plant community. The majority of the ascent is made up of wooden stairs, with a brief soft-soil track around the summit of the hill. Please keep on the trail at all times because the dune community is highly vulnerable. At all times, dogs must be leashed.

Bring your pet for an on-leash walk in this lovely park with breathtaking views of the ocean. Bring a camera with you!

San Francisco's Ocean Beach is pet-friendly. Dogs are allowed off-leash from stairwell 1 to stairwell 21, but must remain on-leash in the remaining places. Dog owners should clean up after their pets and keep a watch on puppies playing in the sand.

Pets on leashes are welcome to accompany you on this popular San Francisco walk as you take in the breathtaking sights.

The off-leash dog area at Lands End Beach is not gated. Keep an eye out for signage indicating which locations necessitate the usage of a leash.
