Dog Work Group
The Dog Work Group—a mix of members of the public, Parks Commissioners and staff—is tasked with identifying potential park locations where on-leash dog access can be piloted and evaluated in keeping with San Mateo County's newly revised dog ordinance. The group builds on the work of the Dog Management Committee, who developed recommendations for the ordinance revision. Work Group meetings are open to the public. See below for meeting dates.
