Dog Training Around San Mateo
San Mateo has more off-leash options than most Peninsula cities, with clear rules about where and when. Training happens where your dog lives: Central Park, the fenced dog parks, and the Bay Trail.
Fenced Dog Parks
Bayside-Joinville, Los Prados, Laurie Meadows, and Seal Point Parks all have fenced dog parks.
Early-Morning Off-Leash Fields
Central Park and Beresford Park allow off-leash time on select fields in the early morning, with winter closures for field rest.
City Leash Rules
Dogs must be leashed outside off-leash areas, and one handler can bring no more than 3 dogs.
Coyote Point
At this county park, dogs are allowed on the Bay Trail only.
