About the Park
Energy-burning runs without a leash are the point of Sandalwood Dog Park, one of Sunnyvale's free public options for off-leash time. The listing carries little detail beyond that, so set expectations accordingly: confirm the exact location and posted hours before heading out, and walk the site on leash before turning your dog loose, since fencing is not documented. What Sunnyvale reliably offers any dog park is weather — South Bay winters are gentle and summers rarely punishing, so outdoor time works year-round, with morning visits the smart play in July and August. Costing nothing to use, it is a low-stakes spot to try once and judge in person. Local parks staff can fill in whatever the records leave out.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Sandalwood 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, Sandalwood Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
