About the Location

Stunning Hilltop Location

Situated on a hilltop in Oakland, California, King Estate Open Space Park offers panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and the surrounding area. The park encompasses approximately 80 acres of land along a north-south ridge overlooking the East Bay Hills.

Grassy slopes and open spaces make this park an ideal destination for various outdoor activities.

Trail System

Fire roads cut into the park decades ago now serve as a trail system for visitors to explore. The old Crest roadbed functions as an all-weather trail, providing accessibility throughout the year.

The western trail features steep slopes that require caution when navigating.

Dog-Friendly Environment

King Estate Open Space Park is notable for its off-leash dog policy, allowing canines to roam freely under voice control. Park officials emphasize the importance of responsible pet ownership, urging visitors to keep their dogs leashed in surrounding residential areas and to clean up after their pets.

Visitors are advised not to let their dogs chase or harass the local wildlife that can be observed within the park boundaries.

Park Features

A significant portion of the park is not fenced, and there are no gates, which means visitors should be mindful of park boundaries for their safety and that of their pets.
