Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt
5500 Claremont Ave, Oakland, CA 94618
Dog Park Features
Overview
Threading along Temescal Creek with redwoods and butterfly gardens, Rockridge-Temescal Greenbelt gives leashed dogs a shady, scenic strip to stroll right in the middle of Oakland. Families often mix playground time with relaxed dog walks between the trees and picnic spots.
Details
This urban greenbelt is more of a linear neighborhood retreat than a traditional dog park, with walking paths following the creek, stands of redwoods, and pockets of lawn where leashed pups can sniff and explore. Owners often loop the path while kids enjoy the playground, climbing structures, slides, swings, and even seasonal water play features. Picnic tables and grassy areas invite you to linger, though the park sits near the freeway and across from the DMV, so expect some city noise and activity. It’s a popular everyday spot for locals looking to give their dogs a change of scenery on a shady, easy walk rather than a full-speed off‑leash romp.
