The San Carlos Police Bureau of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and the City of San Carlos wish to kindly remind everyone that it is illegal for dogs to be off-leash in any park other than our two designated off-leash areas: City Hall Dog Park and the Heather Dog Exercise Area.
We have received an increased number of complaints regarding dog owners not complying with City Ordinances regarding animals in our parks. The City of San Carlos will be addressing these concerns with increased enforcement, including warning citations and possible fines for repeat offenders.
We love our furry friends in the City of Good Living and want to thank all pet owners for being mindful and respectful of everyone in our community.
