What to expect
The large dirt enclosure gives active dogs room to run and socialize. The smaller enclosure offers another choice for small or timid dogs. A renovated shade structure, benches, accessible seating and a dog wash station make the park more comfortable, but the dirt surface can become dusty or muddy.
Rules and safety
Dogs older than four months must be vaccinated, licensed and wearing collars and tags. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. Supervise your dog, remove waste immediately and take aggressive or ill dogs out of the park.
Food, treats, alcohol, glass containers and dog grooming are prohibited. Keep dogs leashed in the parking area, and follow all posted City of Los Angeles dog-park rules.
