West Winton

The main attraction in the West Winton neighborhood is the Hayward Regional Shoreline Park. This park is located on the shoreline, as its name indicates. Dogs are welcome if they are on a leash and only in certain designated parts of the park due to safety factors. You and your dog cannot be on the south side due to the flood control channel.

Be sure to leave the park as clean as you found it by picking up after your dog.
