Berkeley Dog Park
Lakeside zoomies with a vintage roller coaster in view
About this park
Berkeley Dog Park is a lively neighborhood fixture next to Berkeley Lake with views of a vintage amusement park; the roller coaster occasionally runs in the background as dogs do zoomies. The gravel surface keeps things tidy, and separate high-energy and low-energy sections help manage the mix of dogs. It draws a social crowd and rarely feels empty.
