Fantastic park with lots of space to run for the pups. There is no access to water or restrooms however, and the gates are not always shut completely. So, if you’re still working on recall with your pup, I would recommend another park with the double gate closure system instead of this one.
This park is a hidden gem behind BART in West Oakland. I’m mad I didnt find it sooner. Its a HUGE grassy dog run with a trail you can walk along from one end to the other and has a number of benches along the trail to sit at and watch your dog play. I found this place on a Monday afternoon and there were only 2 other dogs there at the time but it was nice to just have a space my dog could run around and play.
The only CONS in my option are that since it’s one big grassy area, there arent seperate spaces for small and large dogs. And while that’s okay for some, i know some small dogs can be afraid of large dogs and some large dogs can get aggressive with smaller dogs. If that’s the case for you then you should probably find a different Park, but for the rest of us this is a wonderful place!
The other CON is that there is no water fountain or bowls of water out for the dogs. I do wish they had this, But lucky for me I usually have my own thing of water for my dog. So if you plan to visit this park with your dog, you should do the same. 🐶
It’s totally OK. I’m just a little bitter because my puppy was attacked multiple times. I would give five stars if there was a separate section for friendly dogs and smaller breeds. The aggressive dogs are very hostile and their humans have no understanding of how to correct poor behavior. The other big thing is the lack of water amenities. I have more concerns but for now, just go to jaoqin miller it’s better. Lastly the timing is really where you can really enjoy the openness of this park. After the remote workers leave for work around 10am it’s super peaceful until a out 12pm, slows down around 4pm for a quiet window of about 40 minutes before the rush comes and then you can expect the slowdown around 7.
Big open space with some benches. Always a bunch of dogs and owners. Wish there was more poop bags available to the public but you should always try to be the change you want to see in the world. 😉
This is a really good place if you want to get away,this park is never full of dogs and people, sometime alot of the time I see people with the whole park to themselves and there pets. Also good place to take somebody you want to spend some time with. Nice place for a first date enough traffic so she will feel safe and not enough just in case you make it to first base.
