Dog Parks in San Francisco - I know there's a ton, but where are they specifically?

From time to time, we meet folks who weren't familiar with some of the best dog parks around the City. Or don't venture too far away from their local parks because they're not sure what the status is of these other parks.  For instance, we've come across a number of people who didn't know how to get to McLaren Park, didn't know you could let your dog swim or run off-leash there.  And in some cases, have never even heard of McLaren Park.  

That's just one example, but there's also St. Mary's Park, Corona Heights Park, the Douglass Playground, etc... the list of hidden gems is amazing.

I thought it would be a great idea if someone (myself) would make the effort of listing all of the parks, and include their pros and cons, so people would know a little about the parks before venturing off to find them.

Well, as I was doing my address research, I came to find that most of the work was already done.  SF Dog Parks is a site that identifies not only the larger parks everyone knows about, but provides the information in map or list form!  If you prefer a list, you can see the parks in list form by going to the All Parks Section

I will say that there are many new parks in the City that have not been listed yet, but its a very good start, so enjoy!

Dog Fest is coming!

Although I typically try to use this blog as a means to convey pet related information, in some cases, as in today, I try to promote worthwhile events.

McKinley Elementary's 6th Annual Dog Fest is taking place on Saturday, April 13th at Duboce Park.  DogFest is a celebration of dogs and kids benefitting SFUSD Mckinley Elementary School, a K-5 public school in the heart of San Francisco, located at Castro & 14th Streets.

This is an event that has grown significantly since its humble beginnings, and is now one of the premier dog-related events in San Francisco!  We hope you and your family will join Fetch! Pet Care of San Francisco in supporting this wonderful event.
