I have been here a couple times and I feel that I need to add some information for anyone thinking of going.  

First, this place is right on the beach so getting into the bay is no problem.  And the trails around that area are pretty cool.
Second, this place use to be a dump.  Apparently, some groups cleaned it up so it isn't like there is trash on the ground.  But the beach is noticeably dirtier than other dog parks with a beach/bay access.  Flip-flops (which I love to wear) are not recommended.  I went here the first time with my dog and a girl (I think the second date) and she wore flip-flops- lets just say the date didn't go well.
Third, parking!  It isn't easy to tell where you can park without getting a ticket.  I have done alright, but if it is busy there you could run into problems.  I tell you this because I have seen police there every time I have been.  

But without a doubt, if your dog loses the bay/ocean, he/she will love this area.  Have Fun!

This is THE BEST DOG BEACH EVER!!!!!  If you go down 580 W all the way near Albany and exit Gilman / Buchanan make a left. The small trail to your right  follow it all the way up and there is a super cute hidden beach. Everyone lets their dogs off the leash. It's great and you have an awesome view of San Francisco!
