Eastshore Park
Oakland, CA 94610
Dog Park Features
Overview
Eastshore Park is a green, lakeside escape where leashed dogs can stroll along the edge of Lake Merritt while families spread out on the lawn and playground. It’s a sunny neighborhood hangout, best for relaxed walks and people‑watching with your pup rather than off‑leash romping.
Details
Set along Lake Merritt in Cleveland Heights, Eastshore Park offers broad grassy lawns and pathways where dogs on leash can sniff, explore, and enjoy the waterfront breeze. Families frequent the open fields and playground, so it has a lively, community feel with plenty to watch from a blanket on the grass. Owners mention a direct connection to the lakefront paths, making it a convenient starting point for longer walks around the lake with your dog. Restrooms and picnic tables are available but somewhat basic, so come prepared if you plan to linger for an afternoon with your pup.

Channel Park
Oakland, CA
Tucked along the channel by Laney College, Channel Park is a mellow waterfront greenway where dogs can stroll with their owners and watch the water and nearby stadium activity go by.
