Overview

Tucked along the Jack London waterfront path, the Dog Play Area at The Landing gives pups room to run while their humans enjoy harbor views and an easy stroll. It’s a casual, community-loved stretch where neighborhood dogs romp off leash away from street traffic.

Details

Set beside a scenic walking path behind The Landing at Jack London Square Apartments, this unofficial dog play area feels like a hidden neighborhood hangout. Dogs enjoy running freely along the open, linear green space and continuing off-leash for roughly half a mile as their owners walk the waterfront. Regulars mention that it’s set back from the street, so while there’s no gate, it still feels comfortably removed from cars. Afternoons and after-work hours tend to draw more local pups, turning it into a social stop on the daily walk routine.

🐕 Nearby Dog Parks

Estuary Park

Oakland, CA

Set right on the Oakland estuary, Estuary Park gives dogs a breezy waterfront backdrop for relaxed on-leash walks and sniff-filled strolls by the bay. Wide-open lawns and a long water-view path make it a peaceful escape from downtown streets.

0.3 miles

Channel Park

Oakland, CA

Tucked along the channel by Laney College, Channel Park is a mellow waterfront greenway where dogs can stroll with their owners and watch the water and nearby stadium activity go by. It’s more of a scenic walking and biking corridor than a bustling dog hangout, ideal for low‑key outings and mental reset walks.

0.7 miles

Jefferson Square Park

Oakland, CA

Jefferson Square Park tucks a small, dedicated dog run into a busy downtown block, giving city pups a chance to stretch their legs between the ballfield and basketball courts. It’s convenient for nearby residents, but the run’s worn fencing and urban encampments mean it’s best suited to confident, street‑savvy dogs and vigilant owners.
