Rules
Berkeley allows dogs off leash only in designated areas, such as the fenced Ohlone Dog Park and the off-leash zone in César Chávez Park. Off leash, your dog must stay in sight and come when called, and it is leashed on the way in and out. Bring no more than four dogs and stay with them. Dogs must be licensed, tagged and vaccinated. Stop your dog from digging, keep an aggressive dog on a leash and pick up after it. (City of Berkeley)
Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
