Dog Park Features
Overview
Oak Glen Park is a quiet, creekside green pocket where neighborhood dogs can sniff, explore, and enjoy a surprisingly wild-feeling slice of nature right off Richmond Blvd. With its shady trees and small grassy clearings, it’s a peaceful alternative to busier urban parks for leashed strolls and low-key sniffaris.
Details
Tucked into the Oakland Ave–Harrison St area, Oak Glen Park feels more like a tiny nature reserve than a typical city playground, with an exposed creek, overgrown brush, and a few intimate lawns where dogs and humans can pause together. Reviewers describe it as tranquil and underrated, a spot where you can slow down, listen to the water, and wander short, informal paths rather than a formal trail network. The park is small and has limited developed amenities—locals mention ad hoc picnic setups and note the lack of regular benches or tables—so it’s best suited for relaxed, leashed walks rather than high-energy fetch sessions. Adventurous pups may enjoy carefully heading down the steep path to the stream, but owners should be prepared for uneven terrain and keep a close hold on the leash.
