Paso Nogal Park in Pleasant Hill is designated as open space featuring approximately 63 acres of scenic hiking trails (dogs on leash welcome), small picnic areas and two fenced dog exercise areas (2.5 acres): one for dogs under 25 pounds and the other for larger dogs.
There are 8 entrances to Paso Nogal Park and open space. The main entrance is located on Paso Nogal Road. Others are Kiki Road, Boies Drive, Gail Drive, Odin Drive, Morello Avenue, and Paso Nogal Court.
The park and open space area is generally bounded by Taylor Boulevard to the south, Morello Avenue to the East, and Paso Nogal Road to the North.
Dog Leash Policy
Dogs must be on a leash at all timeswhen outside of the fenced-in off-leash dog park area. This policy includes open space hiking trails. Please respect others on the trails who may or may not like a friendly (or not-so-friendly) greeting from your canine company.
*The dog park is closed on Wednesdays for maintenance until 3:00 pm (or until maintenance work is completed). Open space trails remain open.
The dog park will close due to wet/muddy conditions and remain closed for approximately 3 days following to allow the areas to dry out. Just remember: If fields are muddy, it’s too wet for your canine buddy!
