Confirmed from Point Isabel Regional Shoreline's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This large park with trails plus birdwatching, picnicking & bay fishing allows off-leash dogs.
What runners say about Point Isabel Regional Shoreline
“It's so spacious that no one is on each other's face, beautiful views, a couple water stations and bathrooms at the 2 different parking lots.”
“The area feels spacious, relaxing, and perfect for a peaceful walk, especially around sunset.”
“As I can only come on weekends due to work schedule I would imagine it's primarily dog walkers during the week but IDK.”
📍 Point Isabel Regional Shoreline in Richmond, California is a 50-acre park renowned as a premier off-leash dog park. It features over three miles of scenic trails, offering stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Talk about a dog park with a view! On a clear day you can see San Fran, the Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, and some of Marin co. I love this place. Its so relaxing here. It's a bit of a drive for me but I don't mind and neither does my dog. Completely off leash with space and more space.
Could possibly be the coolest dog park in the bay!! Off leash access and everyone is LOVING it!! Doggy access to the ocean, much needed and dogs and humans alike were enjoying the water today. Excellent level pathway to walk along the water.
Our favorite off-leash dog walk. It's so spacious that no one is on each other's face, beautiful views, a couple water stations and bathrooms at the 2 different parking lots.
