About the Park
Next to the civic center in San Carlos, City Hall Dog Park is a free public run where Peninsula dogs can play off-leash. Its central location makes it convenient for residents combining a park visit with a trip downtown or to nearby city offices. The City of San Carlos operates the space and keeps details on its municipal website. San Carlos sits in San Mateo County's mild Bay Area climate, so the park is usable in most seasons, with fog and cooler evenings typical. Confirm current hours and whether the area is divided for small and large dogs by checking the city listing before you go. Pack water and waste bags, and supervise your dog in the shared off-leash area.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
City Hall Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, City Hall Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
