San Francisco is blessed with dozens of places where dogs under voice control can enjoy responsible leash-free recreation, and many groups of committed dog owners, including the San Francisco Dog Owners Group, are working hard to keep it that way.
You'll find comprehensive lists of places it's safe for Fido to run free at either group's website, along with links to other resources. Policies on federal lands are constantly under review, so be sure to check in with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for updates before planning your day at Crissy Field and other popular dog-play destinations.
