Overview

Tucked into the redwoods of the Oakland hills, Joaquin Miller Dog Park gives pups a roomy, fenced place to run off-leash while owners take in fresh mountain air and bay views nearby. Regulars love the relaxed, friendly crowd and the separate space where small dogs can play at their own pace.

Details

Inside sprawling Joaquin Miller Park, this dedicated dog area offers large, fully fenced enclosures for big and small dogs to zoom, wrestle, and socialize off-leash. The ground is mostly dirt and bark, so expect a bit of dust on dry days, but there’s plenty of room for fetch and chase, plus shady spots to cool down. Owners describe a sociable community feel, with many people combining dog-park time with walks on the surrounding dog-friendly trails and picnics at nearby tables. With forested surroundings, fresh air, and easy street/lot parking, it’s a popular everyday stop for Oakland pups who need more than a sidewalk stroll.

William D. Wood Park

Oakland, CA

William D. Wood Park is a quiet canyon-like green space tucked behind a residential hillside, better suited for human strolls than dog romps. Multiple visitors note posted “no dogs allowed” signs, so this is not a spot for off-leash play or canine socializing.
