Looking on a map, it would be near 8th St & Portola Ave. Exact address is 1300 8th St. I haven't seen other dog parks, so I don't how this one compares. I've been here a few times with a friend with a small dog. Also, I walk by alot as it's near the sidewalk. The Dog Park is one huge fenced in area, and a separate smaller area for small dogs. It's sand, grassy areas with some trees. There's water and some places to sit. I think it's cool that ARPD set up this dog park. (ARPD- Alameda Recreation And Park Department)

This place didn't really have any new reviews,so I reluctantly decided to try it. First the good. There's plenty of parking, they have a big and small dog side. We decided to try the small dog side. There were people trying to separate some large dogs on the big dog side. Not a good sign. The small dog side has sand. Which personally I hate, because it gets in the dogs ears and eyes. Both causing irritation. We stayed for just a little bit. I had to be careful because I noticed people ignoreing their dogs and not picking up after their dogs. Won't be coming back

Beautiful scenic views, plenty of green grass, and ample parking make it well worth the trip. There's even a paid self-serve dog wash nearby, which is perfect if your pups decide to take a dip in the water. Highly recommend for dog owners!

My mom went Costco shopping with the SF fam, while I took my dog to this park. The park is a good size for small dogs, all the dogs at this park are friendly, and it's off-leash friendly. My dog had a fantastic time sniffing around and meeting other dogs. The views are great and there's a bike trail. There's also plenty of parking available. Highly recommend!

A nice place to play with your dog…read more Watch out for Foxtails in the center area of the park. Be cautious of Cliques. It turns into gossip fests. A couple of Yenta's are in the daily mix. Also an abundance of den Mothers. Watch where you step, not everyone picks up after their dog. I also recommend walking around the park before you throw a ball for your pooch. There are many holes in the sand/dirt and a dog in a full run can break a leg. And so can his human. If you know where those holes are , you can pick a smoother spot. Plenty of water available Parking is easy but the tree's send off a light spray of sap. Easy to wash off. Have fun, and enjoy Alameda. It is a great place. Remember drive 25.

Did you know that I've been taking my little monsters here to play, shit and roam for decades and…read morehad never known what this park was called? Shame on me! This is by and far the biggest and best dog park in the East Bay. IT'S HUGE! Within comfortable driving distance from home through quaint northern Alameda, the park boasts two sides, depending on the size of your four-legged cuddle monster. Inside, the place is decked out generously with chairs and picnic tables galore. In fact, I had a picnic birthday party for one of my dogs a few years ago inside the large park, and family and friends were able to bring their furry companions for a day-long frolic at the park. It was great! If you're looking for a place to take your little (or giant) ones for a couple hours while you sit back and relax while they have their day, think about coming here. Then afterwards, enjoy a lovely stroll along the beach at Crown Memorial State Beach right behind the dog park. There's no better way to end your fun filled day.

Small but very busy park in a perfect, safe and clean neighborhood…read more I'm not a big fan of artificial man-made dog parks with fake grass. I mean... why fake grass if you can give your dogs the real experience instead of touching plastic with their paws.... anyways that's another topic. This dog park is small but gets very busy. Most people are residents or live nearby. If you're not sure where to find a lot of dogs for yours to play with, this park might just be it. Watch out. Because it's fake grass, even if the owners pick up the poop it'll leave doodooo residuals EVERYWHERE on the grass.

We love Mission Bay Dog Park!…read more The dog park itself is a long rectangle situated between apartment buildings in the Mision Bay area. The park is covered primarily in astroturf and includes two fire hydrants, some benches, a three port water fountain, and 3 poop bag dispensers (one on each end and one in the middle). The park itself is pretty much always clean. Many of the dogs are from the neighborhood so there are a lot of regular. Practically all the owners we have met are also pretty nice. If you're driving to the park, there is a ton of parking in the area. Only downside is that meters in Mission Bay go until 10pm, but that's no fault of the park. The park is open from 6am until 10pm and we have found that the best time to go is in the morning before work or in the later evening, post 8pm. The park can be especially busy right after working hours and, for us, we try not to go during this time. We love this park and go to it almost daily!

Strawberry trees that were probably planted in the year 2002 are looking really good these days. The tree trunks are very pleasing to the eye. Most of these fancy condos were built around that time and so the trees have had a chance to mature. I do have two of these in my front yard that are tiny and are not growing too well as they are suffocated with other plants closely packed in. Lots of fancy condos built here - the latest one named Phoenix Commons. The Glascock condos all have different names such as Waterpark Lofts andHarborwalk. The lawn areas are very well taken care of and crazy clean even though you will find multiple dogs out at any given moment. One editor from Oakland Voices lives here and talks about walking her dog along this path. It is a few blocks of paradise (with the exception of the occasional 3am train) perfect for getting some sun. Across the way is Raley's supermarket and the other two boarders are the Park Street Bridge and the Sweeney Bridge. This isn't a dramatic ocean view but for what it is its pretty good. Open to the public but it appears that mostly immediate residents are the only ones to frequent.

I'd say there was limited seating relative to the size of the space, but I did a lot of walking around rather than sitting anyway. There's also not a lot of shade so if it's a particularly sunny and hot day, it may not be a good place to go. I liked that this park was flat and provided a couple of water fountains, a small dog agility area, several trash cans and different entrance/exits. I would come back!

More than enough space to accommodate all the dogs and their owners. Several water stations around the park. My only gripe is that shade is sparse. If I came back during summer, I'd definitely want to come here at 8am or so. It was my first time taking our pup to a dog park since I've read many horror stories. I'm glad there were no unfortunate incidents today though. Owners seemed really attentive to what their dogs were doing, and only one out of the many dogs there seemed to be somewhat aggressive. It was nice seeing all the dogs sniffing and playing with each other. So much space to run and pee! The astroturf is definitely a plus. Just wish we were closer!
