Best Bird Watching Area Daly City Near Me

4worldlovers: Mussel Rock Park is made up of interconnected trails with paragliding launch points on a hillside in south Daly City. The shoreline below the park is bouldery with little sand exposed. However, a sandy beach can be found at the north end of the park.

The parking lot for Mussel Rock Park is located at the end of Westline Drive not far from Highway 1 near the border of Pacifica and Daly City. From the parking area walk north into the park, then follow trails as they descend the hillside to the rocky shoreline below.

To find sand you’ll have to hike north on the trail above the rocks until it ends and look for a route down to the beach. Signs say “Do Not Enter – Eroding Cliff” so enter at your own risk, but you might see people scrambling down the short steep ledge. Erosion will likely make this beach access worse over time so use good judgement as it could be treacherous. Stay back from the cliffs as rockfall and collapses can happen at any time.

4worldlovers: Alpine Playground is a fenced in neighborhood park, located on a pie shaped lot on the east side of Carolan Avenue. The park is small but provides playground equipment for young children and includes a small picnic area. Adult supervision is a necessity, given the proximity to the Carolan Avenue traffic.

Check out the City of Burlingame’s Dog Exercise Park! The idea of a dog park is for the dogs to run and play together. A dog park is meant for our domestic dogs to meet occasionally and run and socialize together without any one of them taking the dominant role. As humans, we are the leaders in our dogs lives. This is why you must have control over your dog so it will listen to you and obey commands.

Parking: Spaces are available in front of the park on Airport Boulevard or in Bayside Park.


Gate: Always be sure the gate is closed and latched after you enter & leave the park.

Adults must always keep an eye on your dog(s) and child(ren) at all times.

Leash dogs while entering and exiting the playground. Dog owners must always have a leash in hand.

Try and have your leash off your dog before a large number of dogs come running up to you. Your dog feels more vulnerable if it is leashed and approached by several loose dogs.

There is less of a chance for aggressive behavior when all dogs are off leash in this situation.

Toys: If your dog is possessive of its toys, please do not bring the toys to the Dog Exercise Park.

Care of the Facility: You must clean up after your dog. Fill any hole your dog digs.

Dogs are not allowed off leash on any athletic field or other areas of the park at any time.

The City of Burlingame assumes no liability for the users of the Dog Exercise Park. Use this facility at your own risk.

Please report all dog bites as soon as possible to the Parks & Recreation Department at 650-558-7300.
