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).

On-leash pets are invited to join you in this historic San Francisco public park as you relax or play.

The fenced-in and double-gated dog park is really rather attractive, despite being partially located beneath 280. It is spacious and totally gated, allowing owners to rest while their dogs are off-leash. Because the park is completely mulched, there can be a lot of dust kicked up as dogs chase each other. It's a hidden gem, but keep in mind that this park is solely maintained by local volunteers.

This little off-leash dog park is located in San Francisco's Potrero Hill district.

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.

At the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, CA, there is a tiny off-leash dog park in McKinley Square. Dog owners should be aware that the dog run area is on steep, rough terrain.
