Lake Merritt Dog Park (a.k.a. Lakeview Dog Play Area)

We, the dog owners and lovers of Oakland, support all varieties of dog parks, big and small, and we know that with the ban on dogs in most Oakland parks, every off-leash area is extremely important. The Lakeview Dog Play Area needs your support. Send an email in the next 24 hours to convince the city that dog owners deserve space in this neighborhood. We’ve made it extremely simple to send a note

of support with our form letter: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/iK0Af4f29x1L45I084b1O

Dog play area provides social space for people with dogs. Dog play area approved in Lake Merritt Master Plan and by the Parks Commission (2006 and 2010). Proposed plan gives us a legal space to go with our dogs. This busy neighborhood needs this amenity so we don’t have to drive to Alameda and Berkeley every day. The multi-use park has room for dogs, kids, soccer and more.
