Oakland

Sunset calls Oakland “a diverse cultural hub in the heart of the Bay Area,” with art, culinary attractions and activities that promise fun for all ages. The magazine also highlights local parks, which are on the A-list for DogTrekkers.

This region is rich with golden, oak-studded hills, including many preserved and made accessible to the public by the East Bay Regional Parks District. Remote areas and fenced parks offer great leash-free options, as well. Discover more.
