Located conveniently in North Hollywood, the Whitnall Highway Off-Leash Dog Park is a favorite for local pet owners who want a well-maintained and spacious spot to exercise their dogs. The park features separate areas for small and large dogs, with both turf and dirt surfaces, ensuring a cleaner and more enjoyable playtime. Shaded benches and overhead coverings provide comfort for pet parents, while plentiful water bowls and stations keep pups hydrated during their play.
This dog park in North Hollywood, CA is fully fenced for safe off-leash fun and is wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for everyone. With amenities like convenient parking, shade, multiple water stations, and regularly available cleaning tools (pooper scoopers and brooms), Whitnall Highway Dog Park stands out as one of the top dog-friendly destinations in the area. The grounds are well-kept, and there are shaded seating options for owners, making it perfect for both pets and people. Note that while there are porta-potties available, there are no permanent restrooms on site.
Very cool place to bring your dog. We came by around 9AM and there were a few people there with their dogs. Some owners seemed complete distracted and weren’t even watching their dog(s).
When we left a few people arrived with aggressive dogs that came up and started barking at all the other dogs, but nothing serious happened.
The facility had great amenities and seemed well kept.
GREAT PARK…for you and your fur baby!!
Highlights of this park:
1) Clean, fenced, and plenty of room to roam.
2) Large and small dogs have their own section,
3) Both sections are half turf and half dirt. The all dirt lot parks create more work for me since my dogs get really dirty. My boys were noticeably cleaner after visiting this park.
4) Plenty of water bowls but check water cleanliness. Visitors are obviously responsible for providing water for their babies. I cleaned and refilled all the bowls to help all the fur babies the day I visited.
5) Shaded areas. There are benches and overhead covering.
This is a simple, nice park. A few things to consider, but nothing deserving a negative review (in my opinion).
1. The park is located under large power lines,
2. Just a general note on the circle of life. If you have a small dog who likes exploring away from the pack, keep a close eye on them. The space is large enough that if an incident were to occur, you wouldn’t have enough time to react. I have to watch my Maltese who looks like a snack to any predatory bird.
3. No bathroom but there are porta-potties on site.
If you live in Studio City, this is the dog park to go to! There is convenient parking right in front. The park is quite large and has two play areas—one with grass and the other with sand. Additionally, there is a separate section for more timid dogs. The park provides a broom and pooper scooper for easy clean up. During my visit, I noticed many different dogs socializing and enjoying their time there.
Great dog park! Dirt AND astroturf! Concrete for filing down their nails! Water stations and bowls everywhere! Shaded benches for the people!
There was a section for “tiny or timid” dogs and Pooper scoopers so you don’t even need bags. This is our new favorite dog park when we’re visiting family in north Hollywood. Good use of the space under the transformer towers I guess.
Its a fenced in dog park one side for small dogs and one side for big dogs. They have plenty of seats and tons of toys and water bowls for the dogs and a water fountain.
