There are beautiful views of the Golden Gate and Marin County from the Point Isabel Regional shoreline, a landscaped, 23-acre dog park at the west end of Central Avenue in Richmond, part of the East Bay Regional Park District.
This is the one of the largest and busiest public off-leash dog parks in the nation, with more than 500,000 dog visits per year.
Owners must have a leash with them and have their dog under voice control and within sight at all times.
Animals showing aggressive behavior toward people or other animals should be leashed immediately and taken out of the park.
Please prevent dogs from digging or damaging resources, and please place your animal’s waste in a trash can. Dogs must be on leash in parking lots and streets.
Besides dog play, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline provides rich birdwatching opportunities, particularly in the fall.
Other activities and attractions include bay fishing (license required), jogging and running trails, bike riding, kite flying, and picnicking.
Keeping our trails beautiful and dog-friendly is crucial to ensure everyone enjoys the great outdoors. Some people want to ban dogs from public spaces, but we believe dogs are essential members of our community. They bring joy, companionship, and energy to our hikes. To keep our trails open to our furry friends, we must be responsible. Pick up after your dog, keep them on a leash where required, and respect other trail users. By doing our part, we can ensure that our beloved pups remain welcome on all trails, allowing your pack to continue exploring and enjoying nature together.
