Details

Bernal Heights Dog Play Area turns everyday walks into mini adventures, with winding dirt and gravel trails, scattered benches, and a famous swing beneath open skies. Locals and visitors praise the sweeping 360-degree views that stretch from the Bay Bridge to downtown, as dogs romp unleashed across the natural hillside. While there's little grassy space and few amenities, the off-leash freedom and social, welcoming community make this a favorite San Francisco hangout—especially at sunset when the city glows below. Regulars recommend bringing water and keeping an eye out for coyotes in the early mornings, but agree that the magic of Bernal Heights is best experienced with your best furry friend by your side.
