Montclair Village is off Hwy 13 in Oakland between the Park Blvd. and Moraga Ave. exits. See map below for entrance and parking options.
rules and etiquette
As a City of Oakland park, dogs must be on leash to reduce conflicts and injury for people and pets. Dog waste (even if off trail) is a problem for the local ecology and for volunteers working on the trail. Please pick up each and every time.  more
