I come here pretty regularly with my dogs and have to say Libbit Park is one of those little neighborhood gems in Encino that feels like a true community space. It's a nice open grassy area where dogs can run around, play fetch, and burn off some energy and there's plenty of room for people too. It's great for casual weekday walks or weekend hangs with other dog owners. Even though it's not officially designated as an off-leash dog park, most folks let their dogs roam and socialize, and surprisingly it works out most of the time. You'll find tennis balls and a few toys around, which is a fun bonus for pups who like to chase. The vibe here is friendly and relaxed neighbors chat, dogs interact (mostly politely!), and it really feels like a little community hub. I will say: bring your own water for your dog, because there aren't many fountains around, and sometimes the ground can get a bit messy depending on who's been there before you. All in all, it's a lovely local spot if you want a low-key place to let your dog stretch their legs and meet some new canine friends. Great for a quick visit or a longer chill session on a sunny SoCal day. read more

FOR PEOPLE WITH A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT...This park is off leash ( which is against the law). I would be fine with that; however, when one dog was overly aggressive with my dog , who was on leash, the owner was beyond rude to me when I used one hand to gently hold his dog off. The people there are like a Clique of the Clueless; they seem uninterested in any discomfort they may cause others. read more

I absolutely love bringing my dog here! My sister and I come often with our doodle pups, and it's the perfect spot for them to run around and burn off some of that endless energy. The park is a beautiful, peaceful escape tucked away in a quiet corner off Ventura Blvd, making it feel like a hidden gem. The only reason I'm not giving it a full five stars is because the entrances don't have gate closures. For many of us, our dogs are like our children, and the thought of them running out during playtime especially near a street is genuinely scary. Overall, we really enjoy this park and will keep coming back. I just hope they consider adding some type of gate or door closure in the future to make it safer for all our furry family members. read more

As far as the park goes the ground is not smooth obviously. The dogs dig in but the biggest thing is that the ground squirrels and possible gophers have lots and lots of holes on the ground. People bring their dogs and they are off leash...my dog loves this park as he runs the entire length of it and I walk with him. You will find tennis balls in the ground that you can kick or bring your own dogs tennis (or other) type of ball. Notice that they will get lost and other dogs will chase them also LoL. read more

Libbit Park - Lunar - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Nice park to walk around, exercise, enjoy some outdoor activities, rest on a bench. There is some street parking. This isn't a huge park, I wish there'd be more shady area and it is pretty clean overall, quiet enough for being in the city, sure here and there you might see some dog pop. Pet owners, please pick up after your dogs, respect this public space. Nice green space in Encino area, bring a book, a blanket, enjoy the outdoors. read more

Very nice place for my little poppy, we are so happy with this place my poppy enjoyed a lot

The people are nice. I wouldn't recommend bringing your dog here unless you know they won't run away. It is not fully gated, the entry fence is on the street and pups can easily get in/out. This just wasn't the kind of dog park for us! read more

I like this park. I don't like the off-leash culture in the middle of a coyote ridden area with multiple fence openings. I wish more owners would leash their dogs and flip the whole 'you're not cool here if your dog is on a leash.' It's not cool. Also the grass can get quite long and hide huge piles of poop so be careful. It has so much potential if given small amounts of consideration.. read more

This is a great park to bring your dog. It's never too busy, usually about 5 other people with their dogs. I keep my dog off leash and we usually will play fetch for a little. It's a beautiful park read more

Libbit Park - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ehhh...REALLY want to like this park, as it's huge with lots of space to run around. It's basically been taken over as a dog park, but it's not fenced at all. Had me on edge being right along the busy street. Also, I was met with some very weird "locals only" vibes from other dog owners. Must have been some kinda dog meetup group? Super rude comments & eye rolls when mine tried to play with the other dogs...like why wouldn't he wanna check out 10 other dogs playing together? The park was clean! I'll give em that. But between the un-fenced layout & rude dog owners I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

If u could leave a negative star, I would. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, bring your dog to this par!!! It is completely unsafe. I am new to the area and came here today with my 16 lbs Bishon/Shi Tzu mix and upon stepping foot onto the park, dog still on his leash, a stray dog came running at me and my dog. I immediately saw that it had a herm sprenger collar on and was very aggressive so I picked up my dog and tried to exit the park but the dog was jumping up and biting me and my dog. Owner no where to be found. I was screaming for someone to get control over this dog when finally the owner appeared and as I'm asking her to get her dog she gets an attitude with me. She called for her dog multiple times and it did not listen. If you know your dog is aggressive and unruly, do not take him to a public park let alone a dog park! Not until I got home did I see my dog had two horrible bites on his front right leg and back right leg. I had to take him to the nearest emergency vet hospital and he had to undergo surgery and received three large stitches totaling almost $1,500. I didn't get the owners contact information because everything happened so fast, but if anyone saw this happen or knows the owner please send me a message on here. read more

CLEAN! Seriously? This is a dog park? I was more than pleasantly surprised with how clean this dog park was. Not only was it clean but it supplied doggie bags and pooper-scoopers to clean up after your pups. Baby pools, toy boxes with tennis balls and the handles that you can throw the balls with, etc. The people and dogs were all friendly. All of the dogs there that day ran freely unleashed. Although you should know there is no secured gate that separates access in and out of the park, so your pooch could very well stroll on out. As you can see from my photos my Aussie was a happy girl. read more

A nice and relatively quiet place to take a walk. However, the place has been converted into an unofficial dog park by the locals, creating some issues such as unruly Off-Leash dogs, people not paying attention to their Off-Leash dogs, dogs making holes bigger on the ground, lots of mud, etc. The place has SEVERAL CLEARLY POSTED SIGNS EVERYWHERE about local ordinances regarding leash laws, but the locals blatantly ignore this. It is clean, but the large amount of dirty tennis balls and dirty dog poop scoopers is unsightly. Right now, one wears a mask and saw many gathering in large groups. I guess if they don't put their dogs on leashes, they're unlikely to wear a mask. read more

This is the best dog park I've been to by far. The owners are friendly and the dogs aren't aggressive and very playful! The community does a great job of taking care of the park; there's ample amount of poop bags, numerous signs to pick up the poop, trash cans, the grass is well kept, and even a doggie pool for those hot summer days. Only thing I was scared of is that the park isn't fenced in but I didn't see anyone having issues. I definitely plan on coming back here! read more

Libbit Park - Parks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Took our pup here for the first time today. So far I only have good things to say. As many people have stated, it is not fenced off like a normal dog park. That's because I don't think it was meant to be a dog park. But if you don't trust your dog off leash, why are you even taking them to a park? That being said, our dog had so much fun here and we enjoyed it too. It's freakin clean! And the people there are friendly. There's grass everywhere, and tons of trees that provide shade. So happy we found a nice big park close to home for our fur baby. read more

Dog friendly with tons of poop bags hanging to use. Benches, trees and well up kept park . read more

Great park, most of the pups and their owners are really great. Be careful if your dog is a runner - there are no gates so the entryways are open and the street has fairly regular traffic. Sprinklers turn on around 7pm in Sundays, so make your escape before then or you and your little one are going to get wet. read more

I was driving to a pet clinic when I saw this park after getting lost. I decided that after my pup's exam I'd come by and check it out. This is a dog park that is NOT dog-fenced. Do not bring an unsocialized dog here or one that does not have good recall. The dogs can easily hop the wooden picket fence and pretty much run into the street or just run away. You must be absolutely sure that your dog will come to you when called, or have some good running shoes. That being said...Taro had a blast here. Most of the dogs here are older. I do plan on coming here again because it is beautiful and the owners have great control over their dogs. Taro met a 6 month-old puppy there and she got a great workout. Owners not overprotective, either. One pitbull had lost her sister and was mourning, and although I loved chatting with her owner, we both knew that I had to redirect my puppy's rambunctious energy. The owner was completely cool with that and knew why I had to drift away. If I had kept my puppy on hers, I'm sure there'd have been a snip or two. I was also a little embarrassed that my puppy was bothering her dog so much, but she understood. I was glad to see people who knew their dogs' moods like that. Owners here are quite aware of when their dogs don't get along and separate them way before a fight breaks out. This is a must in a dog park! read more

I work nearby and enjoy taking my lunch here. It's a lovely park! The people are nice, and the dogs are friendly, too! There are just a couple benches under the shade, but they're rarely both taken. If you don't mind the sun, the are a couple others to use. Otherwise, bring a blanket or take a walk! I would take my dog here after work, but he'd likely run into the street - he doesn't do well in open parks (there's a fence, but it's easy to get around/under). read more

Best little dog park! Close home and convenient ! My dogs also love it, not super crowded and clean which is the best part

***SO MUCH GRASSSSSSS!!! Just moved to the neighborhood from the South Bay. We have 3 dogs that are accustomed to dog beaches. Since we no longer have easy access to the beach was hoping there was a decent dog park that our pups would love. Well...FOUND IT!!! Libbit park was a great compromise to the sandy beach for our 4-legged babies. They loved it! The people there are great and the dogs are all very playful with one another. The one thing I will call out is the fencing that is not fully enclosed. But if you've got your dogs under control and listen to your commands, then bring them here! Poop bags and trash cans provided and did I mention tennis balls and squirrels to chase around the park? Best dog park I've been to! read more

We go here every day. Not an official off leash dog park but all the dogs are off leash and there is no enforcement. Super nice people and sweet doggies. read more

Great Park! Now this park is off Ventura turn Right on Libbit Ave. Libbit is right across from Passage to India restaurant on the LEFT side on ventura blvd. Go straight down Libbit and its right there! If you take HAYVENHURST. This LIBBIT AVE is the tiny street right behind RALPHS GROCERY\cvs entrance. Yes there are houses behind Ralphs and you walk straight ahead till you reach LIBBIT. You will also see VENTURA BLVD on the LEFT. Make a right and walk on down to the Park. GOOGLE IS shit. It gave me wrong directions and its wrong on google maps. Uber?? Well good luck. Uber navigation is ridiculous. It simply makes your trip longer with lots of detours! read more

I really enjoy coming to this 'dog park' and so does my dog, Bella. what I love most about this place is how low-key it is... It's in a quiet neighborhood and the few people who come all seem to be nice and caring. The park is a long stretch of grassy land with a lot of trees and a few benches placed under the trees in the shade. There's also a water fountain to get water for yourself or for your furry friend and a few pooper scooper's lying around to clean up after your dog. I've seen dogs of all sizes coming here both on leash and off leash depending on how comfortable you feel with your dog running around. The one downside to this park is that it is not entirely fenced off... Sure there is a fence, but the gaps are so big that any dog could easily wander out of the park and into the street. Also, street parking is extremely easy!! read more

Pretty nice dog park with lots of street parking. See a lot of larger dogs come here. The park stretches down a long street. They have a few benches spread out so you can relax. Their does seem to be a lot of abandoned tennis balls around the premise. The park isn't too wide so be careful as your dogs can easily access the street and the park isn't enclosed at all. read more

Awesome for local dog owners. Walk with my three pups to the park twice a day. Only downfall lately has been a new group of people hanging out for hours with lawn chairs chain smoking cigarettes down by the freeway end of the park. People get out to parks to enjoy the air & sunshine not to inhale second hand cancer smoke! 7-13-18 Update: Seems like the chain smokers left the park. : ) Warning 1: Seen some young guy with pink hair threatening to kick a black dog "No Bueno!". Keep your pets safe! Warning 2: Coyotes are back in the neighborhood! It's the season. Keep watch early mornings and evenings near the freeway end of the park as that is where little or old dogs can get snatched. read more

Hello Misha's friends and dog parents!

If you happen upon this place and think it's a regular park and decide to picnic, that's fine because it IS, in fact, a regular park to do such activities. Just wash the dog poop and pee residue off the towel when you're done because you just picnicked in a dog park biatch! I know, I know, dear picnicker, you're right. It's not a dog park. There are no signs whatsoever that say "Dog Park". Anywhere. The place is full of grass and trees, which to me signal a perfect place to picnic, not a park where all grass is void of life due to the rambunctious activities of the canine race. There are picnic benches. Dogs don't need picnic benches. And the park is so obscure, why would anyone create a dog park that's so hidden. That's because it's not a dog park, I agree, picnicker. BUT IT IS BIATCH. Reasons it's a dog park: For one, the dogs. Secondly, where are the leashes? Thirdly, free poop bags scattered along the perimeter of the park. Fourthly, a disproportionate number of trash cans in comparison to the size of the park. Only Disneyland parallels the trash can-to-land area ratio of this park. And finally, the presence of old-timey poop shovels/scoops, just like the one the little guy is holding in the "curb your dog" signs, which you didn't think existed except in 1930's England, but my gah, they're here! Luckily, an old Russian man who walks his dog on the same route as I informed me about this park. I didn't think much of it, but when I came to try it out with the dog-son, the little one loved it! The abundance of long grass is the best part! And there's enough space to be alone if he wants or join the pack if he so chooses. And it's clean. Warning: It's not a dog park (but it is biatch) so there are no real enclosures except decorative fencing. There are no separations between big or small dogs, and there are A LOT of big dogs. So if you have a runaway dog or a napoleon-complex dog or a Mr. Burns-type dog, NOT a good idea to come here. Guerrilla-style dog park! For the people, by the people! read more

This is not an official dog park even though they have pooper scoopers, bags and trash cans for you. Not much of a view, just a simple strip of Land. The park is fenced off but not for dogs. Big dogs or really small dogs can get by it. There is also no gates. I would not bring an unsociable dog here. Your suppose to have dogs on a leash but usually we let our run free. I wouldn't recommend bringing a hyper dog who is gonna chase after the birds and squirrel and jump around on other peoples dogs etc. There is a lot of squirrels here! Seriously a lot! This is a very nice and quiet area. Not a lot of people know it's here. It's kinda nice that way.I suggest you bring water with you. There is none here... read more

I love this dog park. It's not the closest one to me, but whenever I have the time I prefer to make the drive over to Libbit Park. There is grass everywhere, no dog poop on the ground, all the dogs and their owners are friendly. I've never seen a fight between people or dogs, which actually happens frequently at the dog park I usually go to. It's a really long and wide park and my dog loves it here. She runs and runs and feels really comfortable, even with dogs that are much bigger than her. Overall the vibe is really chill and friendly and there is always parking! read more

Libbit Park is nothing more than a long strip of land (with grass) along Libbit Avenue in Encino. Plus it's a dog park or a place for people to let their dogs poop at and clean said poop. But one of the good things about the park is that it's quiet and on the back streets of Encino, so that means you don't really have to deal with too much people and car traffic. I was able to mind my own business and get some work done on my laptop without interference from no damn body. So in conclusion, if you have a dog and like privacy, then go to Libbit Park. Also if you don't like seeing bums dot your community park then go to this park. But if you want a big or decent sized park for your kids to play at then go to another Valley area park. read more

Best kept secret in Encino! This dog park is beautiful but there are no gates to open an close so if you're dog is not well behaved it would be dangerous for you to bring them!

I'm from NorCal, so I was really surprised to see such a lovely park with green, green grass. Baskets of tennis balls and containers of poop bags at every poop garbage container along the chain link fence. Nice, long, narrow park gives dogs a great distance to run. Downside is rail fence is easy to jump over or duck under. Rail fence has a gate opening every few feet, too, but no gates to close. My dog is accustomed to entirely fenced parks, so he kept running out and even got into the street before I could catch him, so we won't be going back. Too stressful for me. L read more
