Dog Parks

New!
Marin Humane Society Dog Parks and
Dog Park Club!

A dog park is a place where dogs can socialize and run off leash in a safe, secure environment. In Marin County, more than 70,000 canines vie for a piece of the park pie and dog parks are becoming an increasingly popular opportunity for people and dogs to relax, exercise and socialize.

There is no doubt that the dog guardians deserve a piece of the "Park Pie," as do other "special use" groups, such as baseball, soccer and tennis enthusiasts. The recognized use of city- and county-maintained dog parks is growing at an amazing rate around the country. Never before has there been a better venue to provide information on shot clinics, microchip clinics, dog training and other information related to keeping your pet happy and healthy. Long ago, dogs became an important companion animal for humans and part of our communities, enhancing all of our lives. It is time that our cities and governments recognize this.



Special Notice!

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is beginning a planning process to decide how best to manage dogwalking in the park.

The purpose of this planning process is to develop a range of alternatives that will provide clear, enforceable guidelines to determine the manner and extent of dog walking in appropriate areas of the park.
