You’ve probably noticed that San Mateo County has many fewer parks open to dogs than other surrounding counties - let's change that, together.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

  • Recruiting
  • Website and Social Media
  • Marketing Programs
  • Writing/Communications
  • Political Action
  • Community Events
Become a volunteer

Here are the facts:

Right now San Mateo County Parks only allows dog walking on 8% of their trails (up from 5% with the Department’s June 2019 launch of its on leash pilots at Junipero Serra and Coyote Point county parks). Compare this to Santa Clara County, Marin County, and the East Bay which respectively allow dog walking on 79%, 77%, and 91% of their parks/trails.1
