Our two medium-sized pups LOVED this dog park. Both the large and small dog sections are spacious, with four-foot chain link fences and double gates for entry. The play surface is a deep layer of wood chips. There's a water spigot and big dish for refreshment, and a large trash can for waste. Parking is ample and accessible, and the surrounding park is beautiful. For me, the best part was the relaxed vibe. The Sunday afternoon regulars were friendly and relaxed. Nobody freaked out when dogs established pecking order. I had a great conversation about Janis Joplin with a retiree who was drinking a cheap beer, smoking a cigarillo, and loving life--peak Oakland hills for sure. To the bad, people can do a much better job of policing their poop. It's EVERYWHERE. But if you're not above dodging landmines, this is a great place to bring your pup for some free play. read more

We went to this dog park because it got decent reviews. Miller park is great for walking around on the many trails. As with most dog parks,this one also had it's group of old entitled seniors. A group of old people who sit around and act rude if you try to interact with them. As usual, when I spotted someones dog going poop. No one seemed to move or care. I pointed it out, and one old fart said he'd get to it later. This park has a garage can but no poopie bags or pooper scoopers. If it wasn't for the rude people, the park is quite large and has plenty of shade. There's also plenty of street parking. read more

OMG do NOT go to this dog park unless you want your dog seriously mauled! We stayed all of two minutes as four dogs immediately ganged up against our golden retriever and the owners of the dogs did absolutely NOTHING!!!! If we hadn't managed to get our dog out of there, she would have been ripped to shreds in a few more minutes. For the love of god, STAY AWAY. read more

A wonderful park where both people and dogs can relax, socialize, and enjoy meeting new friends.

Gave this park a few chances but today is the last. Aggressive Boston terrier in a blue vest bit my dog and another dog. The Boston owner laughed and other owners shrugged it off. Rough play is one thing, breaking skin is another. The regulars here don't respect safety preferences and didn't effectively manage their dog, who shouldn't be at a public park if they don't play well with others. We will not be returning. read more

We took Polly, our 8 month old pit-mix pup out not knowing how it was going to go. First Joaquin Miller park is gorgeous. So thumbs up there. There are two dog parks. One small, one large dog. We were at the large dog park. Good disabled parking and other parking as well. The gate was broken getting in but like most dog parks, there's a gate, a small entry area and then another gate into the main area. There is no grass so this time of year, it was a bit muddy. We wanted Polly to run around but she stuck to us like glue. It was a good outing in that she interacted well with other dogs who came up to her so that was a win. People were nice. Lack of grass is minus one star but we'll return. read more

So after I wrote the last review where my puppy was nipped by a pitbull..the next month he was bitten by a tall poodle named Moses! He bit my puppy on the ear and my puppy needed stitches!! And the owner did NOTHING!!! My poor pup wasn't even provoking this poodle. My puppy was a 5 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback and super friendly to all dogs. But these dogs that come here can be very aggressive and territorial. So if you have a super friendly dog that doesn't play aggressively, I suggest you SKIP THIS DOG PARK. AND TO ALL THE OWNERS WHO COME HERE, WATCH YOUR FREAKING DOGS! GET OFF YOUR PHONE AND PAY ATTENTION! Especially those owners of dogs who bite, nip and play aggressively. You are the reason dogs get in fights and get hurt. read more

I need to share my review at this place. It used to be great place to take my dogs to. However, it's getting dirtier and dirtier, no maintenance at all. People are not minding their pups/dogs and let them run around, chase others dogs or bark non-stop. There was mud, there was dog waste everywhere and noone picked up after their dogs. I won't be here again read more

Nice shady small dog park. ( Big dog park next door seems well used as well.)5:00 pm weekdays is a nice crowd. Weekend morning hours are nice too. A small but reliable group of regulars at noon. read more

Oh dear. I really really really wanted to like this dog park as it's super close to me and within such a beautiful, forest-y location. But it's just a large rectangle of dirt. As I walked towards the gates, I saw a huge mud pit in the center of the pen and noped the other direction. I was not in the mood to deep clean my dog AND car for that. Despite the lack of rain for at least a few days before we visited, the dog park seemed to suck in all the water from its surroundings because it was the only place that was muddy and wet. I assume it'd be the perfect puppy playground during drier weather, but it was a bit sad to see how unkempt it seemed during winter. read more

Things have changed for the better. Though still a dusty wasteland of wood chips, the majority of dog owners seem more responsible and actually are more aware and active when it comes to their dogs behavior. With the exception of a few clueless people present and the occasional chaotic/neurotic career dog walker with 20 dogs in tow, most are pretty amiable. I come with my dog, he sniffs, runs, plays and in 15-20 we're out on our way. read more

Nice setting for a dog park with decent room. People were all considerate and attentive to their dogos. Water, benches for sitting, lots of dog friends. read more

LouLou loves this park. It's close to home and while in the beginning she would get lonely (we used to sing "I'm So Ronery, So ronery, So ronery and sadry arone" on a regular basis), now there seems to be a steady stream of nice people and pooches. Our new favorite is Turtle who is the cutest little pup ever! They also recently put down wood chip to cover up the horrible pebbles/dirt that used to be there. LouLou's paw pads would get ripped to shreds and now the new surface makes it easier to play ball - she can run like crazy and not hurt her feet. Someone mentioned that some of the dog owners don't control their dogs and that's true. . .when faced with that situation, I just do what I have to do even if that means correcting another dog. In dog park speak, that shit is like spanking someone else's kid. It's kind of a big no- no but I think it's worse to park your carcass in a lawn chair and ignore your dog while your precious pup is wreaking havoc on everyone else. Uncool. I've gotten to where I know most of the dogs that come in the afternoon and if a problem dog (actually the dog is not the problem, it's always the owner) comes in, I just keep an eye on Lou and if she seems distressed, we just leave. It's a beautiful setting so I refuse to let a few bad pet owners keep me and LouLou from enjoying it. Also, the surrounding trails are awesome and LouLou likes to run through and stalk squirrels (from the safety of her leash). read more

The love of my life would rank this place a five-paw salute. I give it a four only because it closes a couple of times a year so that attendees to the Woodminster Theater can park inside the park. I don't know what's more interesting the dogs interacting or the parade of humans that come. My husband and I have been bringing our dog here (the big-dog park) almost every day since December 2008. It's a safe place to let dogs run and socialize with one another. The regulars at the park are very attentive to their dogs and their behavior. Poop is owner-scooped regularly. Occasionally, dog fights do occur as one might expect at any dog park but the owners and park attendees have all moved quickly to squelch any problems. For owners of small dogs, there is a separate gated park right next to the big park. There do tend to be fewer dogs in that park, but at times it gets busy. Just keep coming back. The basics: Water bowls and fountains available Wood chip terrain Large fenced in space Bulletin boards available for posting lost and found pets, leashes, or pet equipment Lots of tennis balls lying around Regulars frequently bring toys etc. to help initiate play Usually a bag of extra bags around for poop-scooping read more

I don't come here regularly and I don't go to a lot of dog parks to provide a great basis of comparison. But I did have 2 dogs with me - 1 bigger 40 lb dog that I was pet sitting that has way too much energy and 1 13 lb dog who belongs to me. [I apologize to those reviewers who say people who bring small dogs into the big dog yard are stupid ... I'd much rather bring a smaller dog (who like big dogs) into this area than a large dog into the small dog yard. The folks that I encountered were all friendly and quite tolerant of 1 noisy vocal dog that had a lot of energy to expend. It seemed to get a decent amount of tree cover - but it was a cloudier sort of day. I mostly liked that they had seating (whether benches or just fallen tree logs) all around the perimeter for people to sit while dogs played. read more

Wish there was grass in this dog park! I'm not a huge fan of the wood chips at this dog park, but it's better than concrete I suppose. There's a small dog area & a large dog area. When I went on a Tuesday afternoon, the small dog area was almost empty, but there were plenty (anywhere between 6-12 dogs) in the large dog area. There are water spouts in the play area with bowls for your pup to quench his/her thirst. Unfortunately I didn't see any poop bag dispensers here - so be sure you bring bags with you. The people were friendly - and so were the dogs! Another minus for this dog park is that apparently they close it off for certain events & use it as a parking lot, which means motor oil gets dripped on the wood chips. I didn't see any obvious oil stained areas, but still - it's not ideal. read more

The small dog park is, once again, a dusty mess. I will not be taking my dog there until more wood chips are brought down. I had a conversation with an employee, who was picking up bottles and cans from the dog park the day after an event (at which time they utilize the dog park as a parking lot). He told me that they don't want to use the chips because "the rain turns them to mulch". Rain, WHAT RAIN? It does not rain enough to do this. If OPR would put as much effort into minor maintenance of the dog parks (and the rest of the park, for that matter!) as they do on events, things would be much better. Hey, how about some GRASS? These employees should go to the Miami area and would see what a dog park SHOULD look like, as they are extremely well-maintained. Dogs and the people who love them should not have to be in dust clouds for play time. read more

So this dog park is really close to me. I want to love it. It is so convenient! But it is fairly small and does not get much sun, at least in the winter. I went there for the first time a week ago because I was in a time crunch. We got there and it looked OK at first glance. There were two other dogs at about 9:30 AM. This was the large dog park. So we get in and everything's going OK and then I get to the middle of the area and realize that under the bark is just pure disgusting smelly mud! My dog loved it! I hated it! She romped around for a long time eating the bark, snorting the smelly mud, kicking the muck everywhere. I was so glad I had my boots on or I would have had wet dirty feet with mud squishing between my toes. My dog didn't seem to mind the mud squishing between her toes--in fact she was downright enjoying it. Thankfully I had a blankeT in the car to wrap her up in before I Lifted her into the back of my SUV or I would have been a muddy mess. Did I mention I was in a time crunch? Well this almost made me late for my appointment because I had to stop at Petfood Express and give her a bath because there was no way she was going in the house like that! So brave this park in the winter and spring only if you are prepared with boots, towel, and hose. Or if it has been dry for a fairly long period. Be prepared to wash everything that comes in touch with the mud because it stinks. I may give this park another try in the summer when things have dried out. For now I am sticking with my absolute favorite dog park inn Alameda--best dogs, best park, best location, best owners. read more

2 stars for the dog park (dusty wood ship heap) being close to the house. Doesn't seem well kept at all. These photos were taken the night before garbage day- but seriously--- they should never let it get this bad. The stench could be smelled from even far away. So gross. read more

Joaquin Miller Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Oakland, California

This is my go to dog park because you can hit it at the beginning or end of any Fruitvale Ave loop. I hit up Radiant Salon, then the dog park, then down to Dimond district CVS or trader joes or sum cheap takeout Chinese then you pass theough Fruitvale and finallly I end up at the High Street 24 hour fitness and/or the home depot. Main problem laterly is that my dog -- who some might think is big and barrel chested can fit under the fence in the back areaZ I have to patrol the fence and even then sometimes she escapes!!!! Also the small dog park is very small and sort of boring and super docile. read more

Joaquin Miller Dog Park - simone loves to run!! - Dog Parks Near Me - Oakland, California

Checked out the dog park for the 1st time and I can see why I wouldn't visit again. You can tell the grounds are not kept up. The small dog section is covered in bark. Not one section of grass is around for dogs to lay down comfortably. No poop bags. Well there is but it's from people bringing their plastic grocery bags. There was broken chairs and ripped dog toys. We were there for about an hour and no other dog came to the small dog section to play. I've heard the trails are much better. read more

I used to go to dog parks. When we first became dog walkers, we'd head out to the Alameda Dog Park and play with our pooches. That one is quite large and if you don't like the level of play in one area, you can move to another area. This new park is pretty small, it's literally a big fenced-in rectangle. Actually, two rectangles - with one designated for small dogs. I went there on the opening and it was a nice little event. The couple of times I've been back, I have not been impressed. Like I said, it's small, so if you see some doggie behavior you're not thrilled about, there's really nowhere to go to get away from it. Consequently, I've seen a few fights. My big issue with these parks is that when dogs remain stagnant, they become territorial and dominant and that can only lead to trouble. Plus, everyone has their own idea as to what is appropriate play. If any of my dogs exhibit ANY dominant behavior, I discourage it right away, because they can become the schoolyard bully & a fight can break out in a matter of seconds. Any time I see a two against one situation, I will stop that as well. Most people don't have any problem with their dog mounting another dog or rough-housing. Consequently, dogs can become over-dominated and it's possible it can have a detrimental effect on their personality. I apprenticed at a board & train facility for two years, and we often saw cases of dogs who were initially happy-go-lucky that were sent to daycares and came out fearful and unbalanced. It only takes one fight to do this to some dogs, especially young ones. Imagine how you'd feel if you got mugged, you'd be pretty fearful, skittish, and hesitant. It's similar when dogs get into fights. Dog parks are great for socializing your dog, but unfortunately most people utilize them for exercising their dog, so the dog comes in completely hyper and often dominant and the owners often encourage unsafe levels of play. Once, when I was doing a lesson there, I witnessed the owner of two poodles drive up to the park, take her poodles into the park, and promptly walk back to her car to do who knows what. What the hell? These people seriously need to be backhanded. I'm not usually a violent person, but, honestly, what kind of owner does that? read more

The furry loves of my life would rate this place 5 stars....I rate it 4 stars because I wish this place has grass and some of the people who come here would pick up after their dog. I've been to many many many dog parks and Joaquin Miller is still one of my favorites. This park is huge, I normally take one of my dogs on a off leash hike for at least an hour then bring him to this fenced in dog park for another hour. It's really convenient, I love how we both get our exercise! This park is also great for dogs that aren't too good with recalls...one of my dog likes to wonder off so I can only bring her to fenced in dog parks. If you come here everyday around the same time...you will meet the same group of people. There's a group that comes in the morning 9am-11am then there's another group that comes later after work, anywhere between 3pm-7pm. It's usually more quiet around noon time...if your dog gets overwhelmed easily I do not recommend bringing him/her to the park in the afternoon time. However, this park is big though so you can always move to a different area. I use to always go to the Alameda dog park until I found this one. The people here are more understanding and nicer in general compare to Alameda. I rescued one of my dogs and he use to be very aggressive...when I brought him to Alameda, everyone will tell me to leave...but at Joaquin Miller most people can understand my situation and tell me I should socialize him more and don't mind him (Polo) playing with other dogs. Thank you! I sill don't understand why some owners are super protective of their dogs!!! They can take care of themselves!!!! Now after proper socializing, he is a much happier and calmer dog. Most people here are really nice and easy to talk to. I've made this place my everyday routine already =) read more

We spent Christmas day wandering through various dog parks. I've never been to Joaquin Miller, and i am reminded of Joaquin Phoenix, but I digress... Cute dog park, poop bags and parking, I agree, very easy. We have a shy, little guy so we kept him on leash, but he seemed to love the sights and smells of the park. It was clean, it was friendly and there was plenty of people (with and without pups) going out to enjoy the hike, walk or scenic views. The small dog and the large dog enclosed park areas were great, as I'm still a little nervous to let Brimley out with strange dogs. We socialized him a bit with some smaller dogs who came in to play though. The trash cans are something less to be desired...damn! Stay back 100 feet from those things, lol read more

This is a review for the small dog park in particular as well as the dog park as a whole. Brought my dog, Kylie, here this morning for some exercise and maybe some play time with some dogs her size (under 30 pounds). There were two other dogs there: white Lhaso named Peanut and a black and white Feist named Pearl. Two great dog friends for Kylie to hang with for a bit. Pearl was shorter and not as playful and Feist was faster and more energetic than Kylie (I didn't think that was possible). It was good for Kylie to use her obedience training and her smarts to read the other dogs' behavior. She thinks she's a cat, after all. I am glad we went when it was not raining and the sun was out for a bit. The bark and dirt could become an issue for some pets and/or their owners. I don't mind the mud and dirt and Kylie certainly doesn't. There was ample space for I think about 10-15 smallish dogs. More than enough space for our energetic pup to run herself ragged and then come home for an hours long nap. Didn't spy any lil' 'gifts' from past dog attendees which was good. Thank you for picking up after your dog, even in a dog park. I really appreciated Pearl's owner letting me know her quirks upon meeting new people. I wish more dog owners would do that. It would cut down on misunderstandings and issues with nipping, barking and the like. We will try to come back more often. Another reason to love Oakland. read more

Nice to see they put the bark down.It was a Little ruff on my dogs feet. So now I'm calling all Labradoodles to the park for a play date. Update: I went to this park once again, and same old thing..dog fight after dog fight. Then people fighting because of the dog fight. read more

If you follow the Beats (Beat Generation writers) long enough, and if you read Gary Snyder, you'll eventually find your way to Joaquin Miller's writing. He lived with Native Americans for a year, lived in and wrote poems about the Sierras, traveled around the world, lied, cheated, and stole his way across the American West, lived Oakland Hills for a while, and then had a park named after him. What does this have to do with the dog park? Absolutely nothing, but I thought I'd provide a little background. :-D We came here on Xmas day hoping to introduce our little guy, Brimley, to a few other small dogs where he wouldn't feel threatened at all. We had taken him to the the off-leash dog-park-under-the-freeway in Rockridge off Claremont, but he gets a little too aggressive around bigger dogs before turning tail and hiding behind our legs. Then we found out about the small dog section here and figured we'd try this on for size. When we got to the official Councilmember-Henry-Chang-and-his-little-dog-Gizmo section of the park, we found a tiny little fenced-in area with . . . no little dogs on Xmas. So we took little Brimley off the leash and let him explore, which he . . . didn't. Even when we threw the ball across the park and stood at either side. Finally, a family showed up with a couple of miniature pinschers. He still wasn't all that social but warmed up a little bit and mingled. So, if you've got a shy little dog, give the small dog park up in Joaquin Miller a try . . . read more

Went once. Won't go back unless I'm extremely desperate not to go back to the 15 billion other places in the Bay Area to bring my dog.... Maybe my experience was tainted by some nasty attitude on the part of another dog owner who's dog attacked mine... then got p-o'd at me because I was upset by that. Hmmm, imagine that. Part of what makes a good dog part is not just the setting nor amenities, but the people and other dogs in attendance. I'm off to Pt. Isabelle. All the snotty's can stay here. Yuck. Dusty, with mega-tudinal owners, no thanks. read more

So many better places to take your hound than this wood-chip, mud pit with abundant "land mines." It's small and enclosed, less than the size of a football field. If just a few dogs are there it's okay. However, if you get 10 or more it just gets too congested. Want to make something more potentially violent and put man and beast on edge? Enclose a small area. The ball chasers and the wrestlers don't always mix too well. A lot of people don't monitor their dog that well. They think, "I'm at a dog park, who cares what happens." Vets must have invented places like these. Why not just drive around the corner and visit Redwood or the other trails that are off leash? Or for a great dog park, go to sand-based one in Alameda. It's okay if you want just want a quick place to run the dog. But it always seems pretty wet and grubby, even for a dog park. read more

The pluses about Joaquin Miller dog park: 1) It's in Oakland - no more driving to Alameda every time the pooch needs to get away from you and spend some time with her own kind. 2) The scenery is delightful - surrounded by lush redwood trees and chirping birds. 3) Not super crowded (also see minuses) 4) Generally friendly people/and or dogs 5) Easy parking 6) Clean and easy to take care of any remnants your pup leaves behind after waltzing the doo-doo dance. 7) Nearby trails are fun if the dog park is boring. 8) Separate areas for large and small doggies. 9) The pluses out-weigh the minuses Minuses: 1) Like any dog park, its quality is dependent on the people that bring their pooches. Other reviewers have noted folks that encourage/ignore bad dog behavior and even simply abandon their dogs completely to go sit in their cars. I've seen that at every dog park I've been to and fortunately these people are in the minority. But as they say, it only takes one rotten apple to ruin the bunch. 2) It seems as though not many people know about this place so we have been the sole and lonely there on many occasions. 3) The park closes to become a parking lot if there are concerts in the park (the upside is this is how we found a great dog-friendly trail up the road). read more

The good: enclosed large dog park with wood chips covering most of the ground. Generally there are a few good dogs that my pouch can find someone to play with. It's surrounded my a forest with lots of trails if you feel like going off for a hike. The bad: there always seems to be a few morons who can spoil an otherwise great time. One pet peeve: the smoking. The signs clearly state no smoking in the park. First who wants to breath that filth in in a beautiful and clean forest?!? They leave their dirty butts there where the dogs can eat them. Not to mention the fire danger! There are also the other litter bugs who don't pick up after their dogs, or control them at all. All in all though I think it's the best park in the area. read more

It's an alright dog park. It's not that big. There's also no water bowls there for your dog to drink, so definitely bring your own. Love that it's tucked away from too many cars and humans. Can get a little muddy. Have never been there when other dogs are present. So the park is a good size if it's just you and your dog/s. Also, bring your own poop bags, as they often run out. (There's never been any, each time I've gone) but alas, good place to let your baby run if you don't have a backyard of your own. read more

I cannot believe this place gets less than stellar reviews. It is such a wonderful way to get immersed in the peaceful serenity of mother nature. There is a part of the dog park in which you can hear a highway, but other than that it is quite peaceful and serene, completely ensconced in mother nature. The trees, and lately the moisture, really makes it easy to absorb qi from the peacefulness around. There seems to be at least 6-12 dogs there just about anytime the gate is open. Most people have been friendly. If you are not aware, you may miss the small dog section hidden on the hill beyond the large dog section. It seems the small dog section is hardly used. The large dog section is large enough to get away from others if needed. If you are looking for a way to get away from the city energy, this is just a short ride to the north part of Oakland. Aside from the dog park, you can put them on the leash and get lost on one of the many trails. Really this park is just lovely. A completely natural peaceful escape but ten minutes away. read more

Yeah. It's clean. If you don't count all the effing dust. It's nice that they have a division for small and large dogs. And the setting is beautiful. But how come there are NO dog parks in Oakland - ie within 5-10 minute drive of my house - with GRASS??? I know I know, Oakland has no money and we are in a big ass drought. Waaa. When you have goofy foof dogs like me, who sneeze in the dust, and have ridiculous velcro fur that EVERYTHING sticks to.. tan bark just doesn't work. I wouldn't want to play in a park full of dust and tan bark, doesn't matter how nice the stupid trees around there are. Too, I was really looking forwards to letting them play with other dogs, and there weren't any. read more

I'm not exactly sure why the ratings for this park are so low... I've been to a lot of dog parks around the country, and this is the single prettiest location I've ever seen. It's just 5 miles from downtown, but it feels like high timber country. Big old space for big dogs and small dogs, plenty of woodchips to keep the dust down, and if the play-thing isn't happening for your dog, you can just head out on the abundant trails all through Joaquin Miller. It's another great hidden asset of Oakland. read more

I love this place for my pup (Diego), and me! I had been looking for a dog park in the neighborhood as an alternative to our daily treks around Lake Merritt. I have been to the dog park a few days this past week, and have met up with a couple of small pooches. I like the fact that it is not completely packed with dogs, like Alameda, but Diego can get a little lonely too. We enjoy hiking some of the trails and meeting lots of friendly folks and dogs along the way. During the week, I will let Diego off leash on some of the trails and play fetch. He loves it. I love it! BTW...great views of the bay area too! read more

The park is okay, the people with little dogs that can't read and use the big dog park are just so stupid I don't know where to start. Dear small dog people. it is for your dog's own safety to keep your small dog out of here. Not all big dogs like small dogs and most of us don't want dog drama!!. It's not something you can train out of your dog..!! I guess that some people just don't like their little dogs that much and want drama..! So annoying.. read more

Decent dog park... it's big and in a really nice area. There's never really a lot of other dogs there or at least the few times we have gone... it's all wood chips which is not ideal but overall not terrible. read more

I love this park, it's 100 times nicer than Oakland's other dog park (Hardy dog park under the freeway on Claremont which is all cement)! The Joaquin Miller dog park has in ground trash containers, water spigots and bowls, dirt instead of cement, benches, poop bag dispensers, lovely trees, chairs, lots of parking, and real restrooms close by (not just a porta-pottie) at the ranger station. There are two good sized separate areas for large and small dogs with double gated entires for your pet's safety. Joaquin Miller park is also very quiet, which is nice because the Hardy park is so loud and dark. The ranger station also has a beverage vending machine! I don't like Alameda dog park because there are always way too many dogs and it's just crazy there! The pet parents just let their dogs run around while they read a book or yap with other pet parents; they don't even watch their dogs! if you want to go to a nice dog park and meet a few new doggy friends, or want to just hang out and throw the ball for your furry buddy then go to Joaquin Miller dog park and enjoy nature. read more

I am by no means a dog park expert. In fact this is the only park I have taken my dog too. But I love coming here early on weekend mornings and letting him run and explore it, not to mention playing a lot of fetch. They have bowls and fresh water. A huge space and lot's of other great dog owners. read more
