Montano Velo

This gated dog park with distinct spaces for large and little Petzooies will be a hit with dogs that want to play off-leash.

Inside FROG Park is a 2.6-acre, fenced off-leash dog run. Outside of the dog run area, dogs must be leashed.

At this Oakland public park, you may go for a jog or simply lounge and relax with your on-leash pet.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a countrywide network of trails from abandoned rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Shepherd Canyon as one of 1600 rail-trails it supports. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Oakland! The Shepherd Canyon can be accessed via the trailhead shown on the map below.

  Dog friendly park

Pets are permitted to play off-leash in the undeveloped portions of this gorgeous regional park, or they can be leashed for a walk along the lovely paved canyon paths.
