The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in San Jose

Downtown San Jose

Discovery Dog Park in downtown San Jose is sure to please your pup. He’ll have lots of fun running with his new friends in this fenced dog park, which even offers separate water fountains for dogs and their owners. Ryland Dog Park and Selma Olinder Dog Park are also located near downtown, giving you plenty of options to choose from. There are also plenty of pet-friendly restaurants located in downtown San Jose, so you and your furry friend can grab a bite to eat after a long day of play. You’ll also be close to a vet clinic as well as several grooming services, should you need them.

Almaden Valley

Almaden, located on the outskirts of San Jose, is home to several gorgeous parks as well as a pet-friendly community center. If you’re looking for a long, historic hike, look no farther than Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Here, you can learn about California’s distinguished mining history and tackle more than 34 miles of walking trails. Looking for something a little more relaxed? Enjoy stunning sunsets by the lake at Almaden Lake Park. After a long day of playing in the sunshine, head on over to Armadillo Willy’s BBQ, where you can enjoy some authentic Texan BBQ ribs with your pup in the outdoor area.

Cambrian Park

This quaint district is a twenty-minute drive from downtown San Jose, perfect for those looking to stay outside the city limits. You can take your dog out for a day of fun at Miyuki Dog Park or Butcher Dog Park, where your dog can play off-leash to his heart’s content. Go for a bite to eat at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, where you can bask in the sunshine and enjoy a burger with your canine companion in the outdoor area.

South San Jose

South San Jose offers a treasure trove of dog parks and hiking trails, making it the perfect neighborhood for the adventurous pet owner. The Coyote Creek Trail in South San Jose will challenge even the most seasoned hiker. You and your leashed furry friend can enjoy over 18 miles of paved walking trails, which overlook Coyote Creek. You’ll also pass Hellyer Dog Park while on the trail, which is a great resting point if your canine companion can’t handle any more hiking. Waterford Park, located on the opposite end of South San Jose, is another great choice that offers exercise equipment and water fountains.

Los Gatos

Los Gatos is just a twenty-minute drive from San Jose, which is perfect if you’re looking to stay outside the city limits.

This trail spans 10 miles of gorgeous nature, from the Lexington Reservoir in Los Gatos to Meridian Avenue in San Jose.
