Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

The 307-acre Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline in Richmond, part of the East Bay Regional Park District, offers a beautifully landscaped shoreline picnic area, a fishing pier at a historic site and a hilltop with excellent panoramic views of the north Bay Area. The picnic facilities are on a tree-shaded lawn surrounding a saltwater lagoon. Several of the larger picnic sites are reservable for group parties.

A mile-long jogging and bicycling trail loops around the lagoon which is home and feeding ground to many waterfowl.

A hike to the top of the nearby grassy hills is rewarded by spectacular views in all directions. Mount Tamalpais, the San Francisco skyline, Brooks Island, and East Bay hills are all visible on clear days. The prevailing winds make for excellent kite flying.
 

• Dogs must be on-leash (six-foot maximum leash length) in the main part of Miller/Knox (the area west of Dornan Drive).
• Dogs are not allowed in the lagoon or on Keller Beach (at the north end of the park).
• Please be kind and pick up after your dogs.
• Park Hours: Open between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. unless otherwise posted or permitted.
