Shell Ridge Open Space

Petzooie is welcome to join you at Mount Diablo State Park's campgrounds and built-up areas, including the scenic picnic spots. The observation platform on Mount Diablo, which views the lowlands and forests below, is well-known. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on any of the park's trails or fire roads. Mount Diablo State Park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset every day of the week.

Pets will enjoy the freedom to wander this open space in Walnut Creek. It's a lovely spot for them to get some exercise.

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

Nearly every business in Walnut Creek's open-air Broadway Plaza Shopping Center, including Nordstrom's, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and many others, welcomes dogs.
