Been going to this park for years. It's huge and perfect for reactive dogs since not a lot of people use it. However it is poorly maintained and there is so much dog poop, trash, and other crap you don't want to be stepping in or having your dog eat. I wish the city and community cared about it more.

Dog park near my house-! Lots of potential. This park is separated by the freeway ramps. North portion of the park has a court yard where you can play basketball games, skate, dog walk, etc. South portion is smaller, but quieter. Oakland City cleaners cleaned the park through out and it's a lot cleaner now. Let's keep it that way folks-! ^.^ so happy to have a gated leash free dog park nearby my house. 5 stars for its potential :)

Love this park! It can be loaded with garbage but there's space for the pups, grass, dirt, and a good fence to keep them contained. We love meeting the neighbors.

This "dog park" is totally neglected and full of garbage and awful. A pity because in this neighborhood it is sorely needed and with the lawns surrounding it could be great! Is this Emeryville or Oakland? Whichever it belongs to must get on it!!! All of the good reviews are ancient!

pop up care village by oakland punks with lunch held there 12/7/24, great opportunity for the less blessed to receive clothing, canned/hot foods, haircuts, hygiene products, massages & pet supplies. otherwise, i never go there.
