Dog Park between Berkeley and Napa

Jan 2006

My best friend is moving to Napa. A big part of our friendship has been walking our dogs together at Point Isabele. I am wondering - does anyone know of a really great dog park between here and Napa, one that is around half way - such that we could meet there in between? Maybe in Vallejo or somehwere? THANK YOU. margo

There is a nice dog park in Benicia up off Rose drive at the Community Park. That might be somewhat central. sroach

A place to start could be this website http://www.dogpark.com/index.php?id=9,0,0,1,0,0 Giulia

Dog Park in or around Vallejo

Nov 2004

We are moving to Vallejo and are wondering if there are any off leash dog parks (like the one on Alameda) in Vallejo or surrounding areas. Or any off leash dog areas at all. Thanks

There's a fenced off-leash dog park in Benicia, right next door to Vallejo. It's part of the huge park complex at the Community Park (it's in the NW corner, past the skate area). You can find directions to the whole park at: http://www.ci.benicia.ca.us/parks-communitypark.html

I've only taken my dog there once, but it was fun. It's not huge, but there's room to run and there were lots of nice dogs and people there. There's a DIY dog-washing station, too. Whippet Mom

Vallejo is building a brand new dog park (it should be completed by December) located at Wardlaw Park. (Wardlaw Park is bordered by Redwood Parkway, Ascot Parkway and Oakwood Dr.) The dog park will be located on the Ascot Parkway side. Jesse Bethel HS is across the street. It's a nice, open location and easily accessible. If you drive by, you'll see fencing surrounding the area where the dog park will be located. Yvette

There's a dog park in Benicia called Phenix dog park, in the Benicia Community park. Use the parking lot at Rose and Kearney Drives. There's an asphalt path with paw prints at the west end of the lot that leads to the dog park. There are also 3 parks in Napa with off-leash areas for dogs. Alston Park, JFK memorial park, and Shurtleff Park. I haven't been to any of them - the recomendations come from ''The Dog Lover's Companion to California''. It's a couple of years old but all of these parks were well-rated at the time. Beth

Where to run a dog off leash

Pt. Isabel - it's right behind Costco -- very easy to find, and really fun, even if you don't go with a dog! Linda

Buy a family pass to the regional park system. There are lots of places you can run your dog off leash under voice control in the regional parks: Point Pinole, Sunol, Redwood to name a few. When you join they'll send you a booklet with all the parks and what facilities each has and allows. It's a great buy. Kay
