The Alameda Small Dog Park (designated for dogs 30 lbs. and under) is located in Lower Washington Park at Eighth Street & Portola Avenue, near where Eighth Street turns into Westline Drive, in Alameda, California. The parking lot entrance is off Eighth Street, adjacent to the tennis courts. Parking is free.

The Small Dog Park has running water, trees, grass...and chairs! The public restroom is located between the dog park and the tennis courts. There is a drinking fountain there too. If you and your small dog would like to take a stroll after excercising in the small dog park, there is a very nice walk path along the beach at Crown Memorial State Beach, a short walk from the Small Dog Park. (Read about Crown Beach here.)

Here is a nice printable map of Crown Beach (includes Washington Park) courtesy of East Bay Regional Park District.
