Yes I've taken my dogs there and walked them across the sundial bridge, in the botanical garden and through the bike trail all the way to Caldwell park
The area trails, Sundial Bridge, and Botanical Gardens are leashed-dog friendly. The actual Exploration Park is NOT. There are some confusing answers on here!!
Looks like this is no longer the case 😔. There are several "No dogs in park" signs.
