Clayton Dog Park

The Clayton Dog Park was created as a result of a collaboration between the Clayton K-9 Coalition and the City of Clayton. The current dog park site was approved by the city, and fences, benches, a table, and waste receptacles were installed. The Clayton K-9 Coalition was formed by a group of local residents who donated the finances needed to give water to the park, and an Eagle Scout Project constructed an arbor shade structure over the picnic table.

Take a leash-free stroll through this wonderful park, or let your dog run free in the fenced-in off-leash dog park. Bring plenty of water with you.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to develop a countrywide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Black Diamond Mines Regional Perserve, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Antioch! The parking location shown on the map below provides easy access to the Black Diamond Mines Regional Perserve.

While exploring this wonderful Walnut Creek open area, keep your pet on a leash.

This 2-acre park features an open grass field, picnic spaces, a children's playground, and restrooms. There are two sections, one for large dogs and the other for dogs weighing less than 30 pounds. The dog park areas feature gravel ground, which is ideal for wet weather. In the evening, there are various benches that provide shade.

Separate sections for little and large dogs, bathrooms, and parking are available at the north end of Heather Farm Park's off-leash park.
