Oakhurst Park
A quiet hilltop field with free waste bags
About this park
A small neighborhood park on a hill near McCormick Field, with an open field, one picnic table, and a bench under the trees. A dog waste station with free bags sits by the walking area, along with a trash can and a recycling bin. Foot traffic is light enough that the field is often empty.

What visitors consistently sayThe hill does the work: an open field with a choice of full sun or tree shade, and a waste station that reviewers note is actually stocked.

Before you go
There is no fence and the field sits above a road that carries steady traffic, so keep leashes short at the edges. Park in the lot below and walk up.
Frequently asked
- Is it fenced?
- No. It is an open neighborhood field with a road running past it, so this is a leashed walk rather than an off-leash stop.
- Are waste bags provided?
- Yes. A dog waste bin with free bags sits by the walking area, next to a trash can and a recycling bin.
- Does it get busy?
- Rarely. Reviewers describe having the park to themselves, which is what makes it workable for a dog that would rather not meet anyone.
- Is there parking?
- Yes. A lot sits close by at the base of the hill.
