The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Berkeley

North Berkeley

When it comes to culture and trend-setting community, few towns can surpass the qualities of Berkeley, CA. An up and coming neighborhood, North Berkeley is the perfect spot to enjoy with friends of the two and four-legged variety. Take a stroll or a jog through Ohlone Park with Fido leading the way. The well-groomed paths are perfect for burning off that excess energy. To wrap things up, unclip your doggy companion’s leash in scenic Ohlone Dog Park and watch them howl with joy. This fully fenced space is well maintained by residents and the city alike and features plenty of benches for owners to rest their paws while their canine friends frolic away in Berkley’s fabulous weather.

Northwest Berkeley

Northwest Berkeley is an up and coming suburb of the major college town of Berkeley, California, that is undergoing a huge renaissance in shopping, dining, breweries, small businesses and more. The popular San Pablo-Gilman corridor, long known for its auto body and repair stores, is now attracting numerous storefronts, many of which are the perfect spot for taking a stroll or enjoying the beautiful weather with your canine companion on an outdoor patio. Picante Cocina Mexicana, located along 8th street, is the perfect spot to snag some grub for you and a bowl of water for Fido on the outdoor patio. Head west and you just may find the Bay to Barkers Dog Walk and Festival Fundraiser, an annual event that raises money for local doggy-centric charities while letting both you and your pooch work off those chips and guac.

Berkeley Hills

Berkeley Hills is a scenic and charming residential district conveniently located just north of the UC Berkeley campus. Home to students, staff and working professionals alike, the suburban feel includes numerous yards, small parks and even doggie waste stations; a handy find when you manage to leave the house without Fido’s doggie bags! For a change of scenery, head up to Indian Rock Park. You’ll find sprawling meadows and even a few short hiking trails, perfect for working in that morning exercise for both you and your pooch. Just a touch south, the Berkeley Rose Gardens and Berryman Reservoir are a great spot for an on-leash romp, or just stopping to smell the plentiful flowers while you and your dog get out and get socialized.

Downtown Berkeley

The Downtown area of Berkeley, California is the cultural and entertainment heart of this bustling college town. The shopping opportunities are endless and the stores in this iconically dog-friendly town are known to roll out the red carpet for their customers’ four-legged companions. Water bowls and cookies are a frequent addition at shops and the doggie friendly dining options abound. Enjoy Northern California’s beautiful weather with Fido on the patio at Cheese Board Pizza or sample fine dining with your pooch at the local favorite, Gregoire. Whatever you speed, downtown Berkley is certain to leave you howling with joy at the dog friendly amenities.

Cragmont

The Cragmont neighborhood of Berkeley, California is the perfect spot to park if both you and your canine companion need to get away from the hustle and bustle at the end of a long, hard work day. Conveniently located near downtown, the University and more, Cragmont is also known for its wide array of hiking and outdoor activities. Grab Fido’s collar and leash and head out to Cragmont Rock Park where well-mannered and on-leash dogs are always welcome. Miles of hiking and scenic trails will have you forgetting just how close you are to the busy bay area shopping and dining. After your trek, cool your paws at one of the numerous scenic meadows. Bring a pack full of canine and human treats and turn a quick jaunt into a day adventure to remember for both you and your pooch.
