Come explore the wonders of Oakland’s urban wildlands at Joaquin Miller Park, a 500-acre space with rustic woodland trails that lead you through redwood groves, oak woodlands, lush creeks, and grassy meadows. Hikers, equestrians, bicyclists, joggers and picnickers from all over the Bay Area regularly frequent the park, and even dogs are allowed on a leash. The park is also home to over 200 species of native plants. There are rare plants, like the Oakland star tulip, pallid manzanita, and leatherwood alongside such non-natives as fennel, acacia, and eucalyptus. Most interesting of all, the Redwood forest in Joaquin Miller Park is one of the few Redwood forests found in an urban setting.

Joaquin Miller Park is open from sunrise to sunset. Park facilities are available for weddings, picnics, large group gatherings, and special events. Street parking is available or you can park in the residential neighborhood on Joaquin Miller Court.
