Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve, Public recreation area in San Mateo County, California.
The preserve spans 366 acres with six miles of trails through mixed evergreen forests, oak woodlands, and meadows near San Carlos.
The land previously housed the Hassler Health Farm, a tuberculosis sanitarium owned by San Francisco until its buildings were removed in 1985.
Trail names within the preserve recognize local contributors and native wildlife, including the Dusky-Footed Woodrat Trail and Dick Bishop Trail.
The preserve remains open from dawn until 30 minutes after dusk, featuring a specific 17.5-acre section where dogs can run without leashes.
Cordilleras Creek originates within the preserve boundaries, flowing through a wheelchair-accessible trail that extends 0.8 miles through a meadow.
