To find Tree Circles exhibit. Walk straight into the trail at the back of the car park. Past the wooden box with park maps (Take & study) Then, less than 100y up the trail take a hard left at the first multi intersection. Going in past the fence signage towards the Roberts Ridge Trail. It’s just a short 50yards up at the 5ways path junction

We went down Madrone Trail and back up through Redwood Peak Trail. It was about a 2.5 mile hike. It was nice and shady. It was very steep on the way back. At the beginning of the trail they have a nice picnic area with a water fountain. Its great for dogs. Im not sure if its on or off leash but almost everyone had their dogs off leash.

Stunning hikes thru the redwoods and many native trees...so close to the city, but so far removed youd like you are on another planet.

Smash and grabs are rampant lately at Skyline gate, Moon Gate, sequoia arena and Chabot. My truck was stolen and about 50 cars hit in 1 hour

I adore this place and so does my dog every person and dog weve met on the trail has been awesome, Im so happy to have this pocket of woods so close to me ️

Excellent trails for walking and mountain biking!

Another beautiful hike. Along the way saw some racers..... They were really moving FAST. After that saw a couple guys trying to break into a car. Be careful and dont leave anything about, apparently this happens often

Always a good spot

These are great trails! Theyre well marked. They offer a ton of shade and some really nice views of the Bay. Not owning a horse, I cant comment too much on the staging area itself, but its seems like a decent size to me. I was there on a Saturday at noon and there was only one person using it, so I doubt its ever really crowded.

Beautiful park, one of my favorite hiking areas in Oakland to enjoy redwoods, small streams, and either shaded or sunny hiking. Very dog friendly, almost all are off leash and friendly, I would not come here with a aggressive dog that doesn’t enjoy other dogs coming up to it to say hello. Everyone who hikes here are so friendly, I really enjoy the vibe.However yesterday we had an unfortunate event with a police officer who was surveying the parking lot. We parked right next to the entrance of the trail (literally the first spot) and my dog was off leash but controlled and we walked to our car. The officer, a young Caucasian lady, came all the way from the back of the lot to us just to give us a “warning” that dogs must be on leash, while our dogs were already in our car. I felt we were targeted due to our age or race, since we met a couple of off leash dogs on our way to the parking lot, none of the owners (who were older and Caucasian) warned us about an officer giving warnings for off leash dogs. I would appreciate if the officers would do actual work rather than harassing hikers who are simply enjoying their day. I’ve been hiking here for YEARS and this is the first problematic encounter I’ve had with police. I hope they stop coming to harass a very peaceful and enjoyable recreational spot. Rangers / workers here are friendly and never once was warned or stopped for my off leash dogs.

Nice parking lot easy to get to

Beautiful but be prepared some steep inclines and dusty trails, lots of dogs as well, so if not your thing, be aware there will be many!

Plenty of parking...lots of.dog walkers from what we saw. Beautiful trails, spend twenty minutes or full day

Great dog friendly trails through the woods!

Went and did archery in this area. Its gorgeous

Car broken into. beware. apparently it happens all the time. beautiful area though.

A good area for hiking. An uphill hike to get to. Lots of hikers and dogs in this area. No play structures or grass. There is a picnic table and grill.

Large open space, great for BBQs, throwing a ball around with your dog, or hangouts. Bathroom and water fountains right near by.

Great hiking and mountain biking area

Beautiful and easy walk. Bring layers can get super cold

Mountain Biking. Great trails. Juaquin Miller has some super fun downhill routes. Watch out for the hikers. Most are easy going... only the occasional self righteous MTB hater. Beware of erosion. Usual lines are becoming unpredictable.

If you want to go for a great hike. This the perfect place to start and its free.

Great place to take your dog. Theres water and plenty of shade. It can get busy during the summer. Lots of day camps and field trips when school lets out.

The first time we walked on that path, we were with a friend who is scared of dogs and that day, there was plenty! Poor friend, it was not her best day. Otherwise beautiful landscape.

Beautiful place to go for a hike. The staging area is a good place to park to access the surrounding park grounds. Miles of trails for hiking, running or mountain biking.

Gorgeous area with picnic facilities, bathrooms, and plenty of space for frisbee and dog romping.

One of the east bay treasures trail hikes your pet will love it.

Running with my dogs off leash is the best.

Hate it

Idk

Very nice hiking
