Dog Park | Heather School

It's a rustic park. The section I included in the video is the only flat section. The rest is a short looped trail that goes down the hill, to the east (left), and returns via gentle switchbacks. It's not fully enclosed (some stairs at the bottom go onto a residential street), and I would avoid it if your dog is prone to foxtails. It would be a good park if you were trying to get your dog used to hiking with you off leash, as long as they wouldn't take off through the open section.

Awesome views! Lots of trees, grass, a few little trails and a heart pumping hill. Easy parking once you find it.. we felt bad using the school parking lot, but so thankful that it was flat and there was plenty of room. Not many dogs or humans at 5:30pm Monday.

Fun little park. It is not completely closed off so if you have a wandering dog this may not be the best place for your dog. There is a trail to walk that seems to be an on leash trail.

Not your typical dog park, and in a good way. The majority of the park isn't just a flat fenced in area, it is a hillside with trails on which you can walk your dog off leash. It can be pretty hard to find if you don't know exactly where it is. You should park in the heather School parking lot, on the side away from the school building. There is a cell tower there, and a walkway around the tower leads back to the dog park. Just inside the park is a flat area that's great for ball throwing and that sort of play, then there is a path that zig-zags down the hillside and makes a loop to the far end of the park and back. Part of the path is through a grove of oaks, and part is on bare hillside with expansive views to the south as far as Stanford and the south bay mountains.

The dog park is unkept. Parking should be Heather School or Melendy Drive. Porto Marino Lane address is a private home and the trail to the dog park has lots of spider webs and dog poop. Better to park on Melendy and enter vis Heather school parking lot
