Best Dog Parks
By Citysearch Editors, San Francisco
In such a pet-friendly city, it’s not surprising that dogs are often permitted at the office, on the bus, even in many stores and restaurants (on the patio, anyway). But let’s not forget that our canine companions are dogs first and best friends second, which means a good old fashioned run at one of these local dog parks will do them—and you, for that matter—a world of good.

Golden Gate Park
Fulton at 36th Ave / Lincoln at 41st Ave, San Francisco, CA
Let your dog roam free at four off-leash locations within the park, or keep them on-leash for a stroll around Stow Lake or picnic near the windmills. -
Crissy Field
603 Mason St, San Francisco, CA
There's nothing not to love about this gorgeous shoreline park with sweeping views of the Golden Gate, which you can enjoy while Fido runs around. -
Fort Funston
500 Skyline Blvd at John Muir Dr, San Francisco, CA
This ocean-side marvel, perched on the cliffs of the Pacific, offers picturesque hiking trails for you and your four-legged friend. -
Duboce Park
Duboce Ave, San Francisco, CA
Dogs outnumber the kids at this public transit-friendly park that was newly renovated to make for a more secure off-leash area. -
Ocean Beach
Great Hwy and Fulton St, San Francisco, CA
One of the only sections of the beach that is off-leash year round, the area between Fulton and the Cliffhouse becomes especially busy come Saturday mornings, when the small dog group convenes at 10am. -

Folsom St, San Francisco, CA
Let your city dog get back to nature on a hike up the hill, where the views can't be beat.
