Such a great find! Our pup lived this hidden gem. Great trails. Bathrooms on site, lots of poop bags and garbage cans. The creek was a big hit for our pup, had a blast. My only complaint would be not every dog that goes is friendly. It's kind of one of those things if you know your dog is not friendly then please do not bring them to an "off leash" area. The whole point is to let dogs be dogs and play and have fun, we don't need aggressive dogs with rude owners on the trails. Prepare to hike! read more

My dog and I are on the same page that we love this place! So lucky to have an off leash hiking/walking option in town. Parking is always easy in the residential side lower entrance. My dog always makes friends here and has a blast running through the water. We tend to do two loops of the off leash area which works out great. If your dog is friendly and has recall the off leash portion of the park is great! read more

This is a beautiful 42 acre park that is very dog-friendly! At the Farm Hill Blvd Entrance, there is a playground as well as a dirt trail for people and dogs. There are "leash free" trails (where dogs should be under good voice command control) as well as trails where leashes are required, so it is important to pay attention to the signs. There are scenic views and plenty of trees, so a good portion of the park is shady. There are restrooms and water fountains available (including at least one we saw for dogs). We did not see any poison oak on our walk, but there are plenty of burs and foxtails, so check your dogs when you leave the park! read more

Been coming here since I was 5 I love stulstaff such a small cute hiking spot in the area :), perfect for any age and any pet

What a gem of a find in these suburbs of San Carlos. Spectacular park, playground, hike, walk, picnic, toilets, views, shade and off-leash dog walk. The dirt walk/hike kicked my butt! Steep grades going up and down. There are also side trails that smart hikers used walking sticks. Most of it is shaded making it a comfortable Trek. Street parking. read more

This was our first time visiting the trail and it was pretty easy loop around. So we decided to walk farther and do a whole figure 8 upper 260 foot hillside. Then we did 1.6 miles with our a Air old huskies. The trail was shaded for the majority of the hike, and it was around 1:30 PM when we started. One of the lower trails was washed out, probably by the crazy storms in January, but once we walked up the hill, there was a little another trail. I use the app Strava to find where all the trails are at. some people did not have their dogs on leashes, but since we have curious huskies, that would run away from us, our dogs are always on leash. I really liked the trail and it's simplicity as well as the shade! We will be back again!! read more

We came here for a birthday party. Did not get a chance to check out the trail, but the small water park and the play structures are pretty cool for the children. The slides are long and well-maintained. You can make reservations for the picnic tables for birthdays and other events. There is a laundry-list of rules to follow, such as needing to rip off the tape after the event is over. I don't know why but someone manually broken up holes into each trash can, so you can dispose trash without touching the trash can itself. There was also some broken beer glass in the barkdust near the climbing platform. For children, I would have parents be wary of bees and ants. Definitely some room for improved child safety, as well as maintenance. read more

Great dog walk option! Off leash for your dog to play around, always other dogs around and all owners are polite, a basic 40 min walk around the loop for you and your pooch to both get some exercise in but nothing too strenuous. Pros: - Relaxing scenery - Off leash permitted - Other dogs for your dog to sniff / play with - Good 40 min loop / basic walk - Water fountains, restrooms available - Parking available in neighboring residential area -- highly recommend starting at the lower entrance off Recreation vs the playground entrance off Farm Hill Cons: - Can be messy / mud and dirt - A few signs indicating poison ivy or wild mountain lions can be quite menacing, but haven't encountered either read more

Nice wooded area where dogs can be off leash. Unfortunately the loop is very short. It's really shaded, nice nature vibes.

Nice place with good playground and lots of nature! Kids friendly hike available. Ir was very relaxing to have a picnic by the creek.

Stulsaft is a great place to bring your dog! There is multiple trails and poop bag/waste stations throughout the park. The entrance from Farm Hill Blvd (next to Stulsaft playground) and Silver Hill Rd are open 24/7. The lower entrance at Recreational Way and Goodwin Ave is gated and has seasonal hours. Usually you can wait for someone leaving the park to enter if you come after hours since the gate is locked. There is plenty of parallel street parking available. There are two restrooms located in the park. One is by the playground and the other is on the off-leash trail. All the walking trails meet back with one another. We love taking a different path each time. You'll see goats from a neighboring farm and beautiful view of Redwood City from the upper trails. There will be signs showing on leash and off leash areas. The park is fairly clean. Most people pick up after their dogs. It's also great for families with the playground and grass athletic field. Usually it's busier in the afternoon or on a nice sunny day. Bring good walking shoes. There is a good amount of loose gravel. read more

This park is super fun I love the trails we did 2 miles there is a beautiful view at the top I would definitely recommend. It is super dog friendly. read more

We visited this park on a Saturday afternoon and it was perfect for a good time outside. This park is sort of tucked away from the main road and I appreciate that it was never crowded. There are great trails and I appreciate the fact that you can bring your dogs to enjoy this wonderful serene piece of nature. It is a little steep coming into the park so that is something to consider for those that may have mobility issues. Parking was on the street in a residential neighborhood, so that may be tough to find when it is busy but not too much of an issue. The playground area was great for our toddler. They have swings, slides, and a play structure to climb. It appears in summer there is a water play area to keep cool as well. I did appreciate that all families visiting were properly social distancing and wore masks. Everyone was being considerate of others safety. Overall, it is a good park to visit if you need to get out of the house with family and get some fresh air. read more

We love this park. Beautiful nature preserves, well-maintained trails, gorgeous views. We keep our dog on leash in the leash areas but let him go off-leash where permitted and he always has the best time. There are great finds for the eagle eyed (the Christmas tree, the carved benches, the sign that mistakenly has lynches instead of lichens) I admit I'm surprised by concerns about dogs - we didn't find any stray piles of poo, didn't have any dogs approach us or our pup without permission and although we say some dogs off-leash where they shouldn't be but we saw way more people flaunting the mask requirements read more

Amazing park with a beautiful off leash trail area. The people here are so kind and have such lovely dogs! The trail took about 30-40 minutes to complete for a loop. Will be back! read more

The best little community park there is! Off-leash dog area is great, but please make sure your dog is actually under voice command (many are not)! Four different entrances make this park accessible via Foothill or Mitchell (lower entrances), Farm Hill (main entrance with playground area), or Silver Hill (upper entrance). Lots of trail area for a decent 1-2 mile hike, and easy enough for kids to walk. Pretty hilly so not recommended for strollers. read more

Smackdab in the middle of a residential neighborhood is Stulsaft Park. I've driven Farmhill road a lot and lived in Redwood City but never realized this park was here! Scenic views of of The Valley on sunny days, shady tree-lined nature trails that follow a babbling creek, switchback trails up the elevation, picnic tables, dog friendly off leash area and even a creek swing (!) are just some of the features of this hidden gem. Just remember to bring a towel for muddy paws by the creek. Also note that pups need to stay on leash on the trail from the Farmhill Road side (past the trail which butts up to the houses). Pups can go off leash by the creek and the trail beyond that. There is also a small cultivation patch where locals are growing indigenous plants (oak trees, local mint variety, posies, etc.). If the community farmers are there, strike up a conversation with them and find out the latest on what's being grown! read more

This is a very nice "park" I would not call it a "dog park" though because it has more than that. When you first get there (where directions take you) you pull up to a kids play area with some extra benches (I think they probably rent out for parties) you walk along a pretty steep downhill path, nice nature walk and you will come to a path that splits up to an open field. They have signs posted this is NOT for dogs to run around just an open field for people. You counting down kinda to the left and you will keep going downhill and go over a small stream bridge. From there you will be able to allow your dogs "off leash" to run around. This IS NOT a fenced in area, just a place they allow dogs to be off leash. We went off to the left past the public bathrooms and you come to a picnic area (another place to rent out and they have outdoor BBQs) you can choose to cross the steam (we didn't it was very muddy and I was not wearing proper shoes.) we continued the walk uphill over a Bridge like structure and a little ways down. Overall it is a pretty walk and area to spend time in nature just not what I would consider a "dog park." read more

Parked on Farm Hill Rd. next to the playground. There's a couple other entrances if you look at a map. Loved the gated playground which has baby swings, a play structure (mostly for ~under 5), a splash pad, and some longer slides for older kids. Also loved that we could take a toddler here to hike for ~1.5 hours w a stream crossing, moderately steep inclines, picnic tables, and best of all we had plenty of SHADE. Lots of dogs unleashed but they were all well behaved. read more

shorter, but steeper hike down to the small creek below...entering through the temporarily closed playground area...appears like children's summer play camps occurs here...passing a electric fence with sheep behind...seen goats used to clear land, but sheep?...guess both are used in the area to clear land to prevent fires...down the wide trails...wide enough for trucks...across a wide concrete bridge and down to the trickling creek...shady from the many trees...couple loops all coming across to the center creek below... read more

These a-holes just told me to put my dog on the leash and that it's the rules. Apparently their, old tired eyes don't know how to read anymore. They didn't even have dogs. It's always the ones who don't have dogs here that have the most to say. My dog didn't get on well with ONE particular dog and based on that less than one minute interaction they assumed my dog is aggressive and needs to be tied up. My dog has good voice command and we left the area with no problem. As we were leaving he had the nerve to tell me what I said above. We come here often and my dog doesn't have issues getting along with other dogs. Stay in your lane, Karen's and Kens, especially if YOU are in a leash free dog area with NO DOG. Some people need muzzles more than a dog. Go trip on some rocks! read more

This is another go to of ours to take the dogs! Always plenty of parking at both entrances that we have found, bathrooms in and out of the off leash area, and water fountains. It's mostly shaded with large trees and the creek going through is safe for pups to run through. There is a large flat(ish) area for dogs to play and run around in next to the creek, and beyond that are tons of little dirt trails. Its a bit steep so you get a great work out! Overall it's a wonderful place to take your friendly dog and let them run around. : ) read more

Stulsaft Park - Its a bit muddy during the rainy season, but otherwise wonderful! - Parks Near Me - Redwood City, California

Absolutely love this off leash park for letting the pups run free. Even on a weekend, it's not too busy.

This place is awesome! I love walking my dog off-leash through here. The trail is beautiful and nice and cool during the hot summer days. Such a nice getaway minutes from home! read more

Amazing view and fun trails to hike on. Super great atmosphere and amazing view of the valley

While it is a beautiful park, the dog owners have ruined it. Giant and aggressive dogs everywhere that are not on leash. Dog pool in mountains and the owners think this their dog's bathroom. Difficult to walk 10 steps without some loose dog jumping on you. Considering how impulsive the dogs can be towards strangers, you'll be holding your innards in your hands before some dog bites it out and the owners laugh at their dog hurting someone. Seriously, when you step to the side to let the dogs pass, most dog owners purposely tease their dogs to be more rowdy and laugh at you. Most of the park required leash except for certain trails it's not followed. read more

Great off leash dog park. Tricky dog park entrance off of Recreation way otherwise you'll have to fight for parking off of busy Farm Hill. Wanted to get a nice hike in before it rains again. Needless to say it was not crowded and muddy. However my beagle boy had a great time! Some parts of the trail are a bit steep covered in gravel so traction can be treacherous. Be careful. Grab poop bags by the gate please and pick up after your dog so pay attention! We'll be back to explore all the trails! read more

The slides here are hot, not hot like the scorching forbidden man love burning between Rene C. and Markus N., but hot as in scalding your kid's little booty even at 10:30am. Ouch. The long green slides are appealing, but be careful on a sunny day. We dumped some water down the slide, but it didn't cool the slide, much like the blazing passion of an unconsummated man crush. This park didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it was A-OK. Features: * Water feature (more dribbly than spray, unlike Rene and Markus, but perhaps they were conserving water) in use May - October from 11am-7pm. Water is off from 12-1pm & 3-4pm. * Swings * Hot, scorching slides * Playground equipment * Shaded picnic tables * Restrooms * Barbeque pits The park is 42 acres, so there is a lot of it we didn't see during our visit. We may back, but it's not highest on my park list. Minus 2 stars for bum-burning slides. read more

To say we love this place is an understatement! My dogs loveeee the off leash area and are always on squirrel watch. Everyone we've met along the trails have been extremely friendly. The parking is easy (we park off Goodwin) and go straight to the off leash area from there. Definitely recommend taking the creek trail as well. read more

Great park to take your puppy on a walk! The trails are large and well maintained. Pros: Bathrooms Playground Trash receptacles Dog water fountains Doggy bags Off-leash dog area 2 entrances, lots of parking. Picnic tables Really nice views *Note: There are a couple entrances to the park! But the entrance im most familiar with is the one off Goodwin Street. It's also a great place to take your kiddos whether its to play on the playground or the big creek. I'm not a big fan of the teenagers who roam around finding nooks and patches of brush to smoke pot in... But, kids will be kids (I guess..) Great place to spend time with family, get exercise, and to take your dog! read more

This is our local park, and we love it! The playground for kids has swings and climbing structure for toddlers, big slides and swing for older kids, and most importantly really cool water features! They are turned on from May till October. We go for walks there often with our 2 year old son. The trails are perfect for walks with kids, as they're easily accessible. The park is an off-leash dog hiking park, where your puppies can run free! We can't take our dog there anymore as it's very hilly and his arthritis bothers him too much, but perfect for healthy dogs! read more

Came here about a week ago. Parking is decent but make sure you park on the park side because this is one busy street!!!! When you get to the park, there are a couple of places where you can go to. They have a playground to the right hand side and then they have walking trails to the left. For the most part, it's a smooth trail with few alcoves in between. I came here for a last minute photo shoot and it honestly is like any other park you will find in the bay area. It is a beautiful place to get away from the city life, especially for the community but for someone that travels frequently, it's just okay read more
