WHY AREN'T DOGS ALLOWED? 1. Dogs aren’t permitted in any San Mateo County parks; Edgewood was off limits to them even before it became a preserve. 2. Even when they’re on leashes, dogs disrupt wildlife patterns (for instance, "marking" territory). Other mammals, such as deer, avoid dogs’ scent by going elsewhere, such as across Highway 280. 3. Edgewood is the home for naturally occurring predators, such as bobcat and coyote; the dog is their competitor. Now that Edgewood is a preserve, the animals living there should be left alone as much as possible; it should be their sanctuary. |
