Mountain Lake Park Off Leash Dog Area in San Francisco, California, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and recreational space for dog owners.
Established at least since 1985, this off-leash area is nestled within the scenic Mountain Lake Park, a beloved local landmark.
The park’s history is interwoven with the lake itself, which has undergone treatment to remove lead sediment, ensuring a healthier environment for both wildlife and visitors.
Originally, two swans resided at the park and were removed in 1991.
Notably, a resident dog named Myrtle spent her life at the park until she was relocated to the E and T Waterfowl ranch in 1992 for treatment of a bite wound.
This history reflects the park's evolution and commitment to the well-being of its animal residents.
Beyond the off-leash dog area, the park boasts a playground and tennis courts, providing diverse options for families and individuals.
A hiking trail winds along the lake’s perimeter, beginning at Funston and Lake and extending eastward along the Presidio’s southern edge, offering stunning views and a chance for a refreshing walk.
The Mountain Lake Park Off Leash Dog Area is a cherished community space, blending recreational opportunities with the tranquility of the natural surroundings.
