We really enjoy coming to this dog park! The location is convenient, there's plenty of parking, and…read moreI love that the park has separate areas for small, medium, and large dogs. It's a great place for dogs to run, play, and socialize. My only suggestion would be to add more grass. The park gets very dusty, and my white dog ends up almost black after every visit because all the dogs are running around in the dirt. Other than that, it's a wonderful dog park, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

My goodness, it's my second time coming to this dog park and some of the small dog owners aren't…read morefriendly at all. The moment me and my mom brought our small dog in, we noticed how unwelcoming the environment was in the small dog area. So me and my mom decided to walk over to the bigger dog area cause we ran into a couple of bigger dog owners telling us that we're more than welcome to come inside that area. The moment we went inside, some crusty a** saggy Karen tells me and my mom we can't be in there with our dog. Our dog is gonna get "killed and mauled"; and we're irresponsible to bring our dog in there. First of all, mind your business. My dog is well behaved and loves big dogs. She literally thinks she's a big dog herself and doesn't mind them. We're constantly watching over her, and I'm 100% certain dog owners know if their dog is aggressive, maybe they shouldn't take their dog into a public park. She started a fcking commotion and every big dog owner was watching and asking me and my mom what's tf is her problem. She's literally yelling at us across the fence. Mind you she's also yelling at another group of people as well. I had no problem whatsoever at Silverlake and Pasadena, so if you're in those areas I highly recommend going there instead. The only pros of this park is that it's huge and there's parking. That's it.

The park itself is big and nice and has a water source, a small pool for the doggies, and lots of tennis balls haha. There are benches and a bunch of lawn chairs all over for seating. So far, I haven't encountered any "BAD" dogs or "BAD" owners which is great. Everyone is friendly and they are either mingling with the other dog parents or seating away from everyone haha. There is street parking, or a dirt parking lot. The neighborhood isn't the best but it is not the worst.

This review applies only to the large-dog side of the park, which is the only area we use…read more I absolutely love this dog park. We don't live near one, and this park is about a 15-minute drive for us, but it is completely worth it. It feels like a small community with many regulars who clearly know one another and each other's dogs. From what I've seen, everyone is very welcoming and kind. People actively watch their dogs and step in when needed to make sure boundaries are respected. I also haven't experienced the issues mentioned in some other reviews regarding uncleanliness or rudeness; most visitors seem very conscientious. The people are truly my favorite part of this park. My 11-year-old daughter and I bring our medium/large dog here, and it is hands down her favorite place to go. She knows many of the dogs by name, and the regulars know her as well. She loves the attention and affection from the dogs so much that, honestly, we come here more for her than we do for our dog. She will want to stay for hours, while our dog is ready to go much sooner. We usually visit in the evenings, and there is almost always a good number of dogs present. The dogs are generally very sweet, and I haven't encountered any that seemed overly aggressive. At times they can get a bit rowdy, but that's to be expected at a dog park and has never felt like an issue. The park itself isn't flashy, but it's very well suited for dogs. It's spacious, with plenty of room to run. The double-gated entrance is on the left side and is covered in astroturf, while the right side is mostly dirt and includes a couple training obstacles. There are shaded areas, concrete sections, and plenty of seating throughout the park, including benches, a picnic table, and plastic chairs. Multiple working water spigots and bowls are conveniently placed around the park. The park is consistently clean. Over many visits, I've only seen a couple of missed poops, and while there's occasionally a mild urine smell, that's fairly standard for a dog park. I never see trash lying around. Parking has also never been an issue, with both a dirt lot and street parking available. There is no human restroom, so plan accordingly. Overall, this is a wonderful park, and we fully plan to continue coming regularly.

Our little friend Toby C. turned four a couple weeks ago, and he had his birthday party at Valley…read moreVillage Park. We went with our two boys, and everyone had a grand superhero-themed time. We got easy parking right in front of the playground on a Sunday at noon. The park was large and the playground was nice, tons of space for kids to run around, and structures to climb when the mood struck. Toby's parents took over a sizable area with picnic tables, where they set up a buffet lunch and, later, cake. My three-year-old will remember this party for the orange soda ("Why are you letting me drink this?"), but I appreciated the ample, well maintained neighborhood park. I'd recommend Valley Village Park for your recreational needs in this part of town.

Updating my review as I did come back to this park with my dog to attend the Larpbo pack walk this…read moreevening. The park is very beautiful with soft grass that seems well maintained and cut and there are zero foxtails which is a big plus. I can tell everyone respects the park as there's zero trash on the ground and everyone is picking up after their dogs. We did some excersizes with our dogs in the park and then we walked around the neighborhood and then back through the park along the nice dirt trail to end. Similarly to last time, again I noted ALLOT of off leash dogs. They seem well behaved but one did decide to run away from its owner and did a full circle around our pack and the owner was chasing it. This caused several dogs to react and get riled up and it really could have been an issue if that off leash dog had decided to run at any of us, thankfully it didn't, it was just happy to run in circles until its owner caught it. Overall despite this, these distractions were actually really helpful for practicing training with my dog, and she did amazingly. There were so many other distractions too such as loud cars or motorcycles and kids and people running or biking. I guess maybe my dog leveled up because it was a very successful walk! I was very happy today with the experience. All the people who live in the neighborhood next to this park are so lucky to be so close to such a beautiful and well maintained space.

This little big pup park is located directly across for the Sherman Oaks Martin Pollard Branch Library with street and small lot parking available. It's easily accessible, especially by locals and always clean. There are some bench/ledges to sit on, just no shade on very warm or sunny days. Lots of natural plants and local flavor charm. The grass is 100% astroturf and they have bags and bins available. Great space to enjoy outdoors with you doggos or extended pup family #DogUncleFun Our main dog is no longer with us (who I'd bring #IMissYouBruno), but it's a full house of arfs with my froomies and their three to enjoy. I never see more than a couple pet kids here at a time as opposed to when they first opened in 2021 - though I don't come as often (after Bruno) - lots of awesome pet parents are mindful of temperaments and helping their dogs get more social, but also knowing when to go - that's enough for the day.

I was overwhelmed when I got my one year old puppy a few weeks ago, and finding this place to bring him to get socialized, get his puppy energy out every day, and also find a community of like-minded folks who care deeply about the health and happiness of their dogs and supporting female-owned small businesses is a godsend. Kelli also gave me some really great information about a few changes in my dog's diet that I needed to make, and they're already made such a difference. It's definitely not A Scene like other similar parks; it really is about the dogs, community, and connection.

My dog is on the small side, so I take him to the small dog park, just next to the large dog park. There are always some larger dogs on the small dog side, but those pups tend to be afraid of the large dogs, so they socialize with the small pups. The park is clean, well-maintained, and they have poop shovels/bags ready when you need them. In addition, there is a playground for the children, a basketball area for the teens, restrooms, and plenty of parking. You will love it and so will your pup. Enjoy!

Awesome park and dog park. Very clean and well kept. I would love to come back with our dog,…read morehowever it felt very clique-y and odd. We've been to many dog parks and the other owners are typically very friendly, welcoming and in control of their dog. This group of people just stared at us when we walked in despite us saying hi first. The experience felt uncomfortable and exclusive, plus the other owners seemed dismissive of their dogs' sometimes aggressive behaviors. Our dog laid on her back very submissive and the other owners just laughed it off. Unfortunate.

Folks, this isn't it. Not only do you have to do a drive reminiscent of Jurassic Park to get to it,…read morebut you truly end up at an empty gated grass field. I took my dog and my grandma here to hopefully have a nice day at the dog park while my dog could play, while my grandma sits in the shade. We ended up having a really hard time finding the park driving wise because it was a bit hidden and tucked away from any houses, apartments, and is located behind the Oak Park park that goes into the mountains. Granted, you end up at the bottom of the dry grassland hills and mountains there, and it's gorgeous. But on a sunny day, it was unfortunate that there wasn't any shade or good shaded areas to sit. They have one bench alllllll the way at the end of the dog park. When we showed up at the dog park initially, no one was actually there! So it ended up just being an empty grass field for my dog, which we made work, but I know he wanted to socialize and play with others. Even though this one is closer to me, I end up just going to the Westlake Dog Park most days since it's more accommodating for us.

I also like the fact that there's plants of room to sit down. If you're driving here, parking might be slightly challenging. The occasional bad dog parent, who doesn't know how to handle their dog or doesn't keep an eye on their dog, is annoying. Lots of friendly and super talkative people. So if you're more of an introvert, bring your headphones. LOL

We visited today and were lucky enough to catch a performance by the Taiko Project. Their performance honestly gave me chills! Love that they also talked about the history of taiko in Japan and US and they even had volunteers at the end of the show to try taiko drumming! There was also Kamishibai storytelling in the tea garden, which the kids really enjoyed. They also have Japanese Garden "I Spy" sheet for the kids to do and Clean Water Patrol activity book. This is def one of those low stress, high vibe activities that I highly recommend. Just a heads-up though, outside food and drinks aren't allowed inside, but water is ok. There are restrooms near the entrance as well as behind the tea garden. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. We had such a relaxing afternoon and are already looking forward to coming back for more events at this little oasis.
