About the dog park

  • Water play for dogs
  • Run by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (National Park Service)

A small cove beach in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area where dogs may be on leash or under voice control on the beach itself. Kaashi Way and the Coastal Trail are leash-only, and the Redwood Creek lagoon is closed.

Rules

The Golden Gate National Recreation Area lets dogs off leash only in its designated voice-control areas, and only if they come back when called and stay in sight. Everywhere else the leash can be no longer than six feet, and parking lots, paved roads and picnic areas are on-leash. From July 1 to May 15, the snowy plover areas on Ocean Beach (Stairwell 21 to Sloat Boulevard) and at the west end of Crissy Field are leash-only. Pick up after your dog right away. Professional walkers with four to six dogs need a permit, and six dogs is the limit. (National Park Service)

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
