San Francisco Board Meeting on Changes to Leash Law in Golden Gate National Recreation Area



San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee held a hearing at City Hall Monday regarding a federal proposal to restrict parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area where dogs can go without a leash.

The hearing at the board's Land Use and Economic Development Committee was called for by Supervisor Scott Wiener in response to the proposal issued in January by the National Park Service.

The proposal would reduce the size of off-leash areas for dogs at 21 different parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, including Ocean Beach, Fort Funston, Crissy Field and Fort Mason.

While some speakers opposed the proposal, others supported it, stating that the unleashed animals can pose a danger to individuals in the park.
