Doyle Hollis Park - Emeryville, California

Doyle Hollis Park offers a modest outdoor space for families to enjoy, but it falls short in some critical areas. One notable drawback is the lack of gates, leaving a safety concern as children can easily wander onto the nearby road. Parents with toddlers may find the limited options for activities tailored to younger children disappointing. While the park may offer some enjoyment for older kids, families with toddlers and infants may need to exercise extra caution. Overall, while Doyle Hollis Park provides some outdoor respite, improvements in safety measures and amenities for younger children are necessary for a more enjoyable experience for all visitors.

I love this park! It's always so quiet, but it could use some shade trees. From time to time there are older kids that come cursing and taking over the park, but for the most part it's really nice

Doyle Hollis Park is a nice little park in an otherwise urban setting. There's plenty of space for all the activities going on on a regularly basis, be it martial arts classes, mini concerts, groups celebrating life events, and people relaxing. I like this park, it's our go-to in the area to simply decompress and be surrounded with greenery.

It’s a great park. I just don’t like that some parents leave toys in baby furniture for the children to use/play with at the park. Some of the baby furniture that has been left in the park is molded. Some parents and caretakers don’t take notice.

This is a lovely little park with something for everyone. DH park has a basketball court, clean restrooms, plenty of lunch benches, and a wonderful playground for the kids. And doggos are welcome.

Interesting structures for kids play. Climbing and swinging kinds. There's a field area for ball sports and a net for volleyball or badminton. Somewhat closed in for safety. A nice community playground.

Great park for toddlers, kids, and parents. Swings, slides, and monkey bars. The only weird part is their tend to be random toys left there on the ground and a lot are half broken. Also, double check that the gate is properly latched closed because it can open if not.

Well, For a park this size it has just about everything one could ask for. If you are prone to travel by bike, the path alongside Doyle Street might just be the nicest in the entire Bay Area and connects Emeryville to both Oakland and Berkeley.

Just to top things off, the park and surrounding areas are generally spotless, people friendly and there are clean amenities to keep you hanging around for a spell.

If you are raising children there is a playground that seems popular and safe.

A small Basketball Court that people sometimes use for various other activities.

A large and sunny open field.

Places to BBQ and nice benches along the perimeters...

Overall, a role model for urban parks and micro mobility. Will poised for the future, but I won't get into that...
