   #1 Pleasant Hill

   Pleasant Hill is boasted as one of the best neighborhoods for dog owners and their pups, as it is located right next to the Pleasant Hill Preserve, with 135 acres of land offering lots of open trails for you and your pooch to explore! Dogs absolutely love this area as it offers a variety of landscapes from wide open spaces, wetlands, woods to trek through, and much more! Dogs must be leashed at all times on Eleanor’s Trail and the trails which connect with it, but there are so many places within the preserve where they can run free, off leash! No matter your dog’s preference (or your own, for that matter), enjoyment will be found in Pleasant Hill and the preserve.
