This is a great little dog park in a central residential location. There is plenty of street…read moreparking available and the small dog area is much larger than a typical small dog area at a dog park. The park seems well maintained and there are a number of benches. They also have a nice grassy area as well as a cemented section so your dog has options depending on their preferences or the weather. There is shade and sun and the area and other patrons were welcoming and quiet. Our dog had a lovely time sniffing about and we enjoyed gazing at the beautiful spring blossoms. We will definitely return.

Okay. I admit it. We cheated. We're sorry and we don't do it again. Promise…read more We were out and about with our 3-year-old Shiba Inu. We had picked up some lunch and were looking for someplace that we could eat it. I searched for a Dog Park on my GPS and it brought me to this park. After I parked, we walked by the gate and saw that it was limited to small dogs 20lbs and under. There was no one using the park. We walked down the street where we had seen some picnic tables and had our lunch there. Our Shiba just sat there patiently waiting for us. She did score a few small pieces of oxtail and that may have helped keep her on point. While we ate, we kept an eye on the park. No one used it while we were eating. When we were done, I took a calculated risk and took her into the park. We chased around for a few minutes and then it was time to leave. One woman walked by with a small dog, and I asked her if she wanted to bring her dog into the park and we would leave. She basically laughed at me and said no. I found out later that the large dog park was across town, so we'll have to look for that one next time.

As I pull into the parking lot at Cubby's Dog Park, my dog Lola starts to whimper with excitement…read more She loves coming to this park to meet other canines. There are two separate parks. One for small dogs and one for large dogs, Lola is a big girl so she gets to play in the spacious large dog park. The park has shaded bench seats for owners to sit. However, I walk the field to keep an eye on my girl. There are two water fountains for the dogs and poo bags are also provided. Unfortunately there are still dog owners who don't pick up after their pets. So watch your step. The field is covered with small bark so probably a good idea to wear closed toe shoes. Be prepared to take home a dirty but happy dog

Came here around 5PM on Saturday, thinking I'd socialize my dog, but I was the only one here. It's…read morea good size park and lots of room for dogs to run around. Pros: - lots of space - two water fountains in park - pooper scoopers provided. No bags in dispensers; bring your own if you prefer to use bags - nice trees in the park - seating areas for humans - clean - lots of people walking around, riding bikes next to the park Cons: - no grass (I know this is a preference thing) - large electric tower thing (see pics) in the middle of the park (it is surrounded by a fence) - nothing to separate large dogs and small dogs. Since was here alone, I couldn't tell which side was the small dog side, so we walked around everywhere lol I am sure it'll be fun when more dogs come around. Will be returning to what time of the day is busiest.

Beautiful park to visit and play pickleball at. This park has two full tennis courts and a recently…read moreconverted two tennis courts for pickleball. This park has a total of 6 Pickelball courts with a nice paddle rack system to keep everyone spots for the next open court. The courts are well kept, clean, and nets are nice and tight. The weekends have alot of people about 40 today at 9am, but rotating and open courts pop up in about 5 mins wait. Downside, no formal parking lot, which is a little difficult for residents as only street parking is available.

We go to Muirwood Park to play pickleball. It's a great place! People are very friendly and the…read morepaddle system is organized. You can show up solo and get into a fun game. It's a pretty special place! If there were lights, it would be amazing. The town should have lighted courts! If you want to learn, there are instructors who teach there or join Tri Valley Pickleball Club for a nominal fee and attend some clinics. They are well run and friendly. Overall, it's a very peaceful, pleasant park with a good size open field to play football or frisbee. Street Parking is pretty easy. I don't take my dogs to run off leash here...... it's usually pretty busy. I just go for pickleball and love the community there.

Perfect spot for play dates, birthday parties or just to exist. That's what our daughter loves to…read moredo every time she visits. Since there are SO MANY play areas and structures to explore and enjoy, I have never heard her say she is bored. Our daughter can exist here for hours with snacks and water at hand. Kids are ALWAYS here so it is easy to find a playmate, if needed, for the day. There are restrooms directly behind the big play area with multiple stalls. It is well maintained and usually stocked. There are lots of benches, both with and without backs, surrounding the various play areas. There are numerous hammocks surrounding the park (closest to the swing area).. Be careful not to get too relaxed and misplace your lil one(s). It gets pretty hot out here and with the absence of shaded benches, bring a blanket to sit beneath a tree or an awning and chairs if you're fancy. Parking is directly outside the park. With ample parking it is difficult to not find a spot. During summer months it gets a little harder do arrive early. A grass area separates play from parking. There are plenty of bike racks as well. If you do not feel like driving the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station is a 12 minute walk away. If we ever explored this option I would have to bring a wagon. After play I doubt our little one would want to trek the journey. There are very few food options nearby so definitely come with snacks and drinks. There are working water fountains throughout the park (not refill stations). Come, enjoy! You can make a day of play here without spending a dime.

I found this park on TikTok and I'm so happy I did! While the main park was a little crowded, there…read morewere so many other areas of the park you could explore, that really didn't matter. There's a larger park - with a zip line, a little obstacle play structure + slide, swings, and many more activities. There's also a smaller park on the other side that's suitable for younger children. You can also find shaded areas to sit and eat down at. A large grass field to run around or fly a kite. And a trail that goes around the park - perfect for walking, biking, or roller blading. I mentioned earlier that the main park was crowded, but the green area is very quiet and peaceful. I'm considering having one of my kid's birthday party's here. I truly enjoyed it. And I got to try out Mister Softee for the first time - which was parked out front for the day.

Beautiful hike in the Spring, and a bit hot and dusty in the Summer…read more Be aware, there are many ticks here in the Spring. I went hiking with my friends here in April, and both their dogs had tons of ticks crawling around in their fur. If you are hiking without dogs, tuck your pants or leggings into your socks and avoid the taller grass if you can. You can also spray tick repellent on your shoes and socks before starting. That usually does the trick. Very fun and laidback hike otherwise. We've been visiting this trail for years now, and always have a nice time. Great views, and rolling hills. Can't ask for much else, locally.

"Hot Dusty Trails, but Lots of Free Maps"…read more I love the East Bay Regional Park system, but this is probably my least favorite park. The main trails are just dirt tracks wide open to the elements. You can imagine how it is on a summer day out here. If you enjoy dusty, desert-like environments with no water, and dying of thirst, you'll love this park. I try to come here once a year. Honestly, that's enough. Besides the main staging area, there are a few tricky entrances to the park. In the California Highlands condo complex, there are a few trails that eventually lead into this park. Keep in mind that those entrances are not open to bikes. I found out the hard way. There is an interesting side trail called Donlon Point. I believe it's the highest point in the park. There's a good view up there, plus lots of cow material. There is drinking water and a modern restroom at the staging area. Additionally, there are plenty of free maps at the gate. That's one great thing about the East Bay Park system. They are not stingy about giving out free maps. The day that I visited, the parking lot was nearly empty. You will not have trouble finding a parking spot. On the other hand, there's probably a good reason for that. As a local alternative, I recommend Las Trampas. The trails there are more interesting. Check out the Camille trailhead in Alamo.
