Clean and nice dog park. The dogs and owners are friendly. Large dog area is big. There is plenty of space for the dogs to run around. There is no dog waste bags but there are many trash cans and dustpans to pick up dog waste. I’ve never seen this kind of dog park before. I can tell this dog park cares about the environmental too

Very clean big doggie zone for lots of exercise for your Mutty Buddy to play in. Water area, rake and pickup pan provided on site. A few benches to sit, relax and veg out. If needed. There is an area for small Mutts, and an equally large area for big Mutts to play all enclosed with an area to sit or toss the ball. Good for friendly dogs.
Now, for the not so friendly Mutts like mine beware that some of the upper crusts entitled will feel like their “fur babies” don’t have to wear a leash. Than there’s problems coming in or going out. They must wear one in and out of the outside inclosure. Than once inside you may “release the cracken”. (Movie buff/ property set woman humor). Outside of the two main dog runs, is a big beautiful park. You are free to walk or run with a leash on your Darling little Mutty Buddy. There are swings for the smallies, picnic areas for the Fam, a field to play soccer or whatever. Just a generally all around clean, beautiful lovely park. A little bit away down is the Air Museum. Very nice and a few nice places to eat. Romantic. For those wanting an even bigger park not as romantic is the Clover park on the otherside of the S.M. Airport. ( may walk your mutt on a leash but NO free running for them there (supposedly – some do but you didn’t see it here 😁). Nice place to come and visit even if your just eating P & J sandwiches you made. Very stress free and good to unwind place!

My dog and I love this park. Both he and I have made great friends. He has some other puppies he’s grown up with here and their owners and I have become great friends. Everyone is very welcoming and kind. I rarely see any dog scuffles, although they do happen occasionally. Almost everyone is very attentive to their dog, so issues are usually quickly resolved. The park is cleaned 2x a week and is usually in very good shape. There are always lots of tennis balls around for the dogs.

I’m glad I found this dog park, and it’s now a regular spot for us. The dogs and their owners are friendly. The large dog area has plenty of room to run around. The location is beautiful and has a classic Santa Monica feel. My only suggestion would be to add a workspace, allowing owners like myself (who live in apartments) to bring their laptops and work while their dogs play.
