Dog parks are aplenty around the Bay Area, but we found topnotch dog parks that have views, walks, and an opportunity to have a great time at the park with your furry friend and your date. After you pick one of these dog parks, make sure you have the proper essentials. Wine, beer, or beverages of your choice, a speaker, and dog toys. Some of these places, we’d recommend human snacks, but you may get bombarded by more furry friends.

Golden Gate Beach is a long stretch of beach with incredible views (perfect for photos) and a place to dip your toes. Lots of dogs run up and down this area. Go for a stroll along the beach or layout a picnic blanket with snacks, drinks of choice, and sweatshirts (the wind can really pick up). If you don’t feel like getting all sandy, Crissy Field is a nearby grassy field.

Baker Beach is another long stretch of beach with amazing views. It’s the perfect beach to get your dogs energy out while getting some rays and relaxing on the sand with your date.

Upper Douglass Dog Play Area is a premiere dog park in the city with a large grass field, hiking area, and benches for you and your date to share a few drinks. We’d recommend leaving any snacks at home. These pooches know who’s got the goods, and you’ll end up being the most popular people at the park. If you’re up there as the sun goes down, you’ll see some incredible sunsets if Karl The Fog doesn’t come rolling through.

Lafayette Park has a long skinny dog park for furry friends to roam and get out their zoomies. After they get out their energy, enjoy a few coffees or drinks and snacks in the park. Make sure to check out the views before you go.

If you’re into exploring coastal nature, get on the athletic or athleisure gear, put the pup in the car, and go on an adventure though Fort Funston & Funston Beach. Your furry friend can zip up and down the paths and beach, while you and your date walk through the bluffs and sand. You may even see dolphins and whales out in the ocean.

Point Isabel Dog Park is 23 acres of off-leash exploration for you, your pup, and your date. Half a million dogs roam this park a year. There’s plenty to see with the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, boats passing by, fishermen and women pulling in big catches, and birds.
