Old Creek Dog Park of Cherryland

Address: 400 Hampton Rd, Hayward, CA 94541

Two tiered sections — one for large dogs, one for small — keep playtime organized at this Hayward park, which sits in the Cherryland neighborhood. The ground is dirt throughout, so dogs tend to leave a bit dusty, but water fountains, benches, and shade trees help owners stay comfortable during visits. The layout is narrow, though the atmosphere is friendly and the space is well-maintained.
