The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Richmond

Southwest Annex

Southwest Annex in Richmond is home to the largest public off-leash dog park in the US. No trip to Richmond could be complete without visiting the Point Isabel Regional Shoreline Dog Park. The area is over 23 acres and comprised of hills, paths, woods, and beach. Dogs are free to be off leash throughout the park! You are responisble for cleaning up after your pup, and dogs should be under voice control at all times. Additionally, preventing destructive behaviors like digging is required, as it keeps the park the gem that it is. Owners will also love the eatery on site, the Sit & Stay Cafe!

Point Richmond

Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline in Point Richmond is a great place to visit with your dog. There are incredible views out over the bay, and lots of room to walk your dog! While your pup will have to stay on leash at the shoreline, there’s so much to see and sniff that they won’t even notice. You can walk the paths down to the water, or stay in the central green space for picnics and to rest up after all that walking. Bring your own water and bowl, and also some food for grilling if you want to make full use of the picnic grounds.

El Sobrante Hills

El Sobrante Hills is a great place to live, and a good place to visit too, due largely to its proximity to the Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve. This wilderness area is gorgeous, with trails to suit every activity level. The prevalence of wild animals in the area creates lots of interesting smells for dogs, and the views from Oakland to the Bay and beyond are worth it for humans. Some people also like getting away from the crowd. Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve is a quiet, wilderness park. Bring your own water and a bowl to share with your canine best friend.

Marina Bay

Marina Bay in Richmond has two great parks off the Inner Harbor Basin. The Barbara and Jay Vincent Park is a small but beautiful end to the San Francisco Bay Trail. The park is a simple spot where you can watch the boats in the marina. The trail runs through the area and beyond, making it a great trek for people and dogs who really want to get a workout. Just down the trail is the Shimada Friendship Park. This park is mostly open, grassy space perfect for walking your dog. Dogs should remain on leash at both parks.

North and East

The residential neighborhood of North and East in Richmond has two great parks for dog walking located just blocks apart. Start with Mira Vista Park. This park is on the smaller side, but the dense foliage around the outside and wide grassy field in the middle make it a perfect oasis. It’s great for short walks or lazy picnics. Tiller Park blocks away is busier, with a full playground and several sports fields. Dogs will love the walking paths and seeing all the people. Bring your own water to both parks, just to be sure to have some.
