Overview

Tucked into West Oakland, Lower Bottoms Park is a huge, fully fenced off‑leash field where dogs can sprint, sniff, and socialize while their humans relax on the sidelines. Regulars love the friendly community vibe and the wide‑open sightlines that make it easy to keep an eye on playful pups.

Details

Lower Bottoms Park is essentially one big open run: rolling, mostly dry grass with a few small hills, trees, and a simple path circling a large, gated enclosure. Owners describe plenty of room for long Chuck‑It throws and high‑energy zoomies, with clusters of socially savvy dogs and people gathering most late afternoons and evenings. There are a few benches and some shade, but the grounds can be gopher‑pocked and the grass rough on sensitive paws, and visitors consistently note there’s no on‑site water, poop stations, or reliable bags—so come prepared. A small kids’ play area and grassy block extension sit just beyond the dog run, making it easy to combine dog time with a quick family stop, though this spot is really all about giving dogs space to run off leash.
