Lands End Beach Off Leash Dog Area

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.

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.

At this kid-friendly green spot in Golden Gate Park, pets are welcome on a leash. A fantastic location for games or parties.

Pet-friendly Baker Beach in San Francisco, about a mile south of the Golden Gate Bridge, is a terrific place to take your dog for a view of the iconic landmark. On Baker Beach north of Lobos Creek, dogs are allowed off-leash, but they must be on a leash south of Lobos Creek.

The off-leash dog area at Mountain Lake Park in San Francisco's Richmond district is located in the park's far eastern corner. A popular hangout for dog owners and their canines.
