Local Dog Notes
East Palo Alto balances new waterfront campuses with long‑time neighborhoods and a growing set of parks. With a dog, the Baylands are your playground. Start at Cooley Landing for gentle, leashed loops with big‑sky views and shorebirds; then connect to the Bay Trail for as much distance as your pup craves. Midday heat reflects off the salt ponds, so morning and late‑day walks are ideal. Residential streets have sidewalks and frequent shade, making short potty loops easy. Many local taquerias and coffee spots accommodate dogs on patios; bring a mat and your own water bowl to keep things tidy. For off‑leash time, drive ten minutes to Nealon Park’s small dog run in Menlo Park or to the designated area at Pulgas Ridge. Traffic is busy near University Ave — practice confident crossings and use timed signals.
