Joaquin Miller Small Dog Park
About the Park
Joaquin Miller Small Dog Park is a forested off-leash area in the Oakland hills with separate fenced sections for small and large dogs. The park features ample parking, water fountains, and spacious grounds with wood chips and tan bark surface. Set among trees with nearby trails, it's popular for dog socialization, though the dirt surface can become dusty or muddy. Most visitors report friendly owners and well-behaved dogs, though a few note occasional issues with reactive dogs or owners not following size guidelines.
