Overview

High on the Oakland hills, King Estate Open Space Park gives dogs and their humans wide‑open meadows and sweeping Bay views to roam, sniff, and explore. It feels more like a wild hillside hike than a typical neighborhood dog run.

Details

This is a spacious, natural open-space park where dogs can stretch their legs along informal trails and grassy slopes while you take in panoramic views of Oakland and the Bay. Regulars describe it as peaceful and almost otherworldly, a place to feel “in your own world” while walking or biking with your pup. Expect more of a rustic hillside environment than a built dog park—bring your own water and bags, and be prepared for some uneven terrain that can feel a bit risky for very young kids. Locals emphasize keeping it clean and leashing or recalling dogs reliably, since wildlife and other trail users share the space.
