Golden Gate Park Dog Training Area

Love it here! June is always so excited when we get to this park and runs straight to the small dog gate as soon as we’re inside.

Well maintained and spacious on both the small and large dog sides of the park. Each of them has a sandy play area with lots of open space and some tree trunks and ramps for climbing, with more room given to a “grassy” area on the small dog side. I do wish it was a different ground cover as the fake grass can get slippery when it’s damp outside (or recently peed on…) and my pup has lost traction and taken a tumble a few times.

Having a dedicated area for small dogs made a huge difference when I was first introducing my rescue pup to dog parks. June tries to put herself on yard duty and break up fights or roughhousing that gets too wild- cute in the independently fenced small dog side but a little scary when the other dogs are five times her size!

I take my dog here every day. He is a Siberian husky named Leo and he has so much energy. This is the only way that he can get out most of his energy without needing 3 more walks. Another great thing is that you can just sit there while your dog plays. I love this dogpark and I really recommend it. Plus, it was recently remodeled and now looks super nice! There's is a spot for both small dogs and big dogs.

The dog park is divided into large and small areas. in a large area, dogs can run for fun and get tired quickly, if you need to exhaust the dog, this is a great option!) there are also bowls of water, poop bags and large trash cans. Also there is a good gate from a large zone to a small one.

I love this park compare what it was to several years ago. I love the fact that they do have two sections one for small dogs and another side for larger dogs. Although the park not divided equally it is still large enough for smaller dogs to have fun. And yes they have tons of dog walkers but they are friendly. My dog and I when we visit we stay here for several hours. Also they do maintain the park really often so it’s fairly clean. I usually go in the morning when I do visit and there a nice group of regulars in the morning. I heard it does it busy in the afternoon as well.

I took my dog George here as part of our cross country road trip. I’m trying to get him to a dog park in each state and plan on taking a trip with him each year. This was easily one of our top spots and he had an absolute blast. There is plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. If you live in the area or are just passing through it definitely worth bringing your furbaby to if you have one.
