McKinley Square

McKinley Square

The off-leash area is on the western end of the park, near San Bruno and 20-th St. 80% of the park is legally designated for off-leash dog play and open spaces. This provides over 4 acres of open space for everyone. Outside of the playground there is a grassy area that dogs love, and a nose level drinking water for them.
