Tourist Club Oakland Branch

This new off-leash park is fenced in and has separate spaces for large and little dogs, as well as benches, trash bags, and nearby restrooms.

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.

This gorgeous, natural recreation area will entice your pet to explore it. They can go anywhere on a leash or roam freely in undeveloped regions.

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.

  Dog friendly park

This beautiful park spans 290 acres and features wooded canyons, rivers, and climbing trails. On-leash pets are accepted.
