Discover the dog-friendly Five Canyons Open Space in Castro Valley, boasting over 300 acres of natural landscapes and five miles of trails, perfect for a day out with your furry friend. Part of the East Bay Regional Park District, this area includes a crucial part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail, which spans nine counties and encircles the San Francisco Bay Region. Ideal for multiple uses, this trail segment connects northward to Cull Canyon Regional Recreation Area and westward to Don Castro Regional Recreation Area, linking to two local schools and offering future connections to southern parklands like Garin and Dry Creek Regional Parks and Mission Peak Regional Preserve.
Enjoy various internal “loop trails” that traverse through shaded canyons, scenic ridgelines, and abundant wildlife, all while connecting to Hayward Area Recreation District parks and Don Castro Regional Park. It’s a perfect getaway to enjoy with your dog, where both of you can immerse in the beauty of the outdoors.
