Blair Park

Enjoy a picturesque hike with your pet, who is welcome to accompany you on the trails off-leash. On the lawn, pets must be on a leash, and an off-leash permission is required. There are no fences around the place.

Bring your dog to upper Redwood Canyon's grassy area for some off-leash fun. A leash-free permit is necessary.

Before dogs can play in the enclosed dog run, they must first obtain a permission. It has separate spaces for large and little dogs, as well as toys and a water fountain for them.

This East Bay cycling shop with a nice, experienced staff welcomes pets on leash.

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.

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