The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Albany

Ocean View

The Ocean View neighborhood is home to its namesake park and a variety of walking paths. The Ocean View Park is a 3.7 acre urban park, and best of all, is friendly to leashed dogs. The park features a variety of athletic fields, picnic facilities and a beautiful redwood grove. Use caution with your dog when in this park, because it backs onto a busy four-lane road. From this park, you can take the Lower Codornices Path to take a look at the University Village Community Garden, some more sports fields, and the Berkeley Skate Park. Due to a recent renovation, the pathways and sports fields are now well lit, so you and your dog can feel safe at in the evening too!

Thousand Oaks

The Memorial Park located in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood is a very popular urban park for families and dogs alike. The park features large, multi-use grassy areas and tall shade trees. There is a fenced area in the northeast corner of the park that is not specifically designated for dogs, but the dogs and their owners can often be found playing fetch or frisbee there. Other amenities in this park include public restrooms, walkways and athletic fields. You and your pooch may even be able to catch some free concerts or outdoor movies in this park! Leashed dogs are welcome, but be sure to pick up after him or her.

Hillside

The iconic Albany Hill Park is a haven for nature lovers, and located in the Hillside neighborhood. It rises to 338 feet above sea level, and is a great place for you and your pup whether you want peaceful relaxation or some heart pumping exercise. The park is rich with flora and fauna, and has eucalyptus trees and coastal live oaks that line the rustic trails. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park, but look out for poison oak, and use caution on the steeper paths. When it’s time for a treat, try out Peet’s Coffee and Tea located just north of the park. This coffee shop has outdoor dog friendly tables, makes their own roasts, and offers artisan baked goods.

East Shore

The Albany Bulb is a surreal landscape that juts out into the bay, and is accessible through the East Shore neighborhood. Back in the day, it was used to dump construction debris, but it’s now been cleaned up and is an off-leash puppy paradise that offers tons of hiking. The Bulb is home to an array of urban art, including painted driftwood murals, graffiti and sculptures. The area has paved and wide dirt pathways that meander through the art, and allow for gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco and Alcatraz. This unique area gives you and your pup an original way to get to know Albany, while at the same time get some exercise in the fresh ocean air.

Albany Terrace

Locals love to bring their dogs for some fresh air and exercise in the little hidden gem of Terrace Park. This small, family oriented park is bordered by backyards and can be difficult to find. It has two unassuming entrances on the side streets of Terrace Street and Francis Street. The park is home to tennis and basketballs courts, and a large grassy area that your dog will love to run and play on. There is a picnic area available for use as well, which neighbors often use to host gatherings. Leashed dogs are free to use the park, so get ready to make some new furry friends!
