Point Isabel Dog Owners & Friends is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization. We regularly do park cleanups and weed pulls, help pay for poop bags, produce park information brochures, maintain bulletin boards to help educate park visitors, and host community events. We publish The PIDO Pointer and email members updates and important news about Point Isabel and other East Bay parks. Thanks to donors, PIDO has contributed nearly $35,000 to EBRPD over the past 10 years for improvements at Point Isabel
