Dogs are set to be allowed off-leash in Los Altos soon, under a pilot program. After more than a decade of discussion, debate and research, Los Altos pet owners may finally have a place to let their dogs out. The city council approved the implementation of an off-leash pilot program at Hillview Baseball Field at its meeting Tuesday (Nov. 10), with the start date and length of the trial period to be determined. Although staff had also recommended approving an off-leash hours program at Heritage Oaks Park, the council opted to operate the pilot program solely at Hillview, after hearing from neighbors living next to the park who voiced opposition.
