Bayside Dog Exercise Park

Address
Check out the City of Burlingame’s Dog Exercise Park! The idea of a dog park is for the dogs to run and play together. A dog park is meant for our domestic dogs to meet occasionally and run and socialize together without any one of them taking the dominant role. As humans, we are the leaders in our dogs lives. This is why you must have control over your dog so it will listen to you and obey commands.

We welcome dogs that are:

  • Obedient and social
  • Non-aggressive
  • Not in heat
  • Over 4 months old (due to mature immune systems)
  • Currently licensed and vaccinated (spaying & neutering recommended)

Dog Area Size: 3/4 Acre

Please read and abide by the following guidelines:

Hours of operation: 6:00am to 9:00pm

Parking: Spaces are available in front of the park on Airport Boulevard or in Bayside Park.

Gate: Always be sure the gate is closed and latched after you enter & leave the park.

Supervision:

  • Adults must always keep an eye on your dog(s) and child(ren) at all times.
  • No more than 2 dogs per owner.

Leashes:

  • Leash dogs while entering and exiting the playground. Dog owners must always have a leash in hand.
  • Try and have your leash off your dog before a large number of dogs come running up to you. Your dog feels more vulnerable if it is leashed and approached by several loose dogs.
  • There is less of a chance for aggressive behavior when all dogs are off leash in this situation.

Toys: If your dog is possessive of its toys, please do not bring the toys to the Dog Exercise Park.

Care of the Facility: You must clean up after your dog. Fill any hole your dog digs.

Dogs are not allowed off leash on any athletic field or other areas of the park at any time.

The City of Burlingame assumes no liability for the users of the Dog Exercise Park. Use this facility at your own risk.

Please report all dog bites as soon as possible to the Parks & Recreation Department at 650-558-7300.
