Dog Park Features
Overview
Spread across 500 wooded acres in the Oakland hills, Joaquin Miller Park is a redwood-filled escape where dogs and their people can wander quiet trails and meadows together. It’s a favorite for long, shady hikes with your pup and peaceful breaks at rustic picnic spots.
Details
Joaquin Miller Park feels more like a forest retreat than a city park, with towering redwoods, steep hills, and miles of dirt trails perfect for sniff-filled dog walks, trail runs, and even mountain biking alongside your pup. Owners mention that while there is a designated dog area, most of the canine action happens out on the trails, which stay relatively uncrowded compared with the rest of the park. Between stretches of woodland you’ll find clearings, meadows, and scattered picnic tables where you can rest while your dog relaxes nearby. With free parking areas, kid-friendly paths, and sweeping bay views on routes like the Sequoia Bayview Trail, it’s an easy place to turn a simple walk into an all-morning adventure.
