I'm writing an updated review now that we have a second dog and take her here for more often…read more What I wrote in my prior review still stands. This dog park is all dirt and gravel, one of my dogs doesn't like that much on her paws, and it's also terrible for their teeth to be chewing on chuck-it balls with a layer of dirt covered. The dirt + the dog's saliva makes the balls like sandpaper, grinding down dog's teeth. This dog park should be covered with grass like the neighboring field, or at least artificial grass. The grassy field right next to the dog park is such a waste. Why isn't it part of the dog park? I see dogs play on there anyway. It should just be fenced off for dogs only. My second pup comes here regularly. She doesn't mind the dirt and gravel, and she also doesn't play fetch, so this place suits her. She just comes here to play with other dogs and to socialize. In balance, I guess this dog park does its job and is better than nothing. But definitely has room for improvement (like the grass). On the upside, this is the cleanest dog park I've seen. People pick up after their dogs. Hardly any poop. All the dogs are well-trained. Owners are responsible. I've never seen a dog fight here.

I stopped going because of this one owner who has become belligerent and continues to bring his dog who has attacked other dogs and people. The owner has made threatening comments to me and others. He's the type of person you never want to run into anywhere. My suggestion is if you want to go to this park, avoid him and his dog and go after work where many really nice owners congregate with their dogs and behave like adults.

Love that it is partially turfed up so that the dogs can play without getting too dirty.

With its dedicated parking lot, families can easily venture in, make a quick visit, and head on out even during busy times of the day. The parking lot also has a pretty well maintained bathroom and trash bag/can facilities for those looking to stick around a bit longer. There are two open play areas fenced off separately for fur companions of all sizes. Each area has benches shaded by trees and modalities for the pups to interact with. The water station is well kept and working as expected. There seems to be a good steady flow of families coming out to this park and visited by many locals and regulars. If you have a pup of your own and happen to be in the area, you should definitely make a visit! Overall, this neighborhood dog park is a great one and certainly a watering hole for many residents nearby as well as visitors to the lake just blocks away. With its well maintained facilities, this park is sure to attract patrons for many seasons to come!

Pulgas Ridge Open Space is one of the few places on the peninsula where you can hike with your dog…read more There is a small parking lot and many spaces out along the road where you can park. If you don't come early on the weekends, parking might be an issue, but there are so many people coming and going, you'll probably get a spot eventually. Our pup is can't handle seeing other dogs, so taking the narrow entrance from the parking lot is a bit crazy for us. We typically enter from the side where you and your pup can walk on cement trails for about a half a mile before there is an off-leash zone. We usually take the main trail ALL the way up until the trail stops (and you can see the back side of a vista point) and we return back down. Its a lot of uphill walking, so be prepared to bring water if it gets hot. I enjoy this spot, but last time we found a tick on my dogs ear! Be careful when going on this trail.

We will definitely come back again once it's open! 4/5 stars for the closure and only one restroom made available at the parking lot (I also did not see a water bottle/fountain filling station) Parking: There's a free parking lot (fits ~20 cars) and ample street parking if it's filled. I recommend coming on a week day to secure a parking spot Easy Trail: the cordilleras trail is wheelchair and stroller friendly! It's a 0.3 mile flat trail that breaks off into other trails leading to the dog park or towards the creek. This trail is paved, so no worries about bumpy roads or muddy patches Moderate Trail: the blue oak trail has a steep incline immediately at the start of the hike. It zig zags and is a ~200 ft elevation increase for 0.4 miles. It gets dusty but is doable due to the many trees for shade. It leads directly to the off leash dog area

Once you get to the hill to climb up to the top, the elevation picks up very quickly. If you plan on going to the top (and coming back down) to enjoy the panoramic views from the city to the ocean, I highly recommend proper hiking shoes and walking sticks. Along some of the paths, make sure to watch out for poison oak on both sides so take it slow. All in all, well worth the exercise and very fun experience! Lots of parking on the street outside too!
