    Doodles at the dog park
    Javier R.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Confused cause no other dog owners would let him play...

    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.

    Kona and Queenie at their favorite park!

    This is my dogs' favorite park in the valley. The people are friendly, and the park is amazing. Never had a problem with other dogs, never even witnessed a fight or altercation at all. When i turn onto Libbet Ave, my dogs all know where they are going and get excited in the car!!

    Love coming to this great quiet park with the dog before or after work ! It's wide open for him to run and I can come with my friends and sit on the grass and drink coffee until the dog tires out ! Come and enjoy this little piece of fun for you and the dog

    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.

    This guy was about to start a mud bath...

    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.

    Amazing dog park! This big guy is super tired :)

    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!

    Huge strip of lush grass perfect for dogs. 60+ dogs gather here after work daily, playing and being dogs. Altogether well behaved pups too. I come for sunsets, and to write... and bc I miss my dogs and just like being around their energy. :) A sweet, green expansive Oasis hidden in Encino.

    Beautiful long rectangular park

    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!

Depending on the amount of people up there, it can be calm and surreal enough to make for a good picnic to watch the sky and enjoy the sights.

When Dodger Stadium is behind you and you face the mountain, start counterclockwise--trust me, you'll thank me. On the way back, you'll enjoy a gorgeous downtown view. At the top, there's a painted seating area where you can rest and soak it all in. A couple of things that could be better: It's a dirt/sand path, so wear shoes you don't mind getting dusty--unless you want to spend each day cleaning them. It's usually around 6,000 steps for me--though that varies--and roughly 400 calories burned (but don't quote me on that!). Overall, it's about a 45-minute hike/jog with ups and downs--just enough to get your heart going, and then you can treat yourself to a city-state after. Pretty good overall--highly recommend it!

It used to be free but it's $6 per person and you have to park on the street, but no big deal here . . . yet. Our group of 3 walks up along with another person and we try to check in with 2 men at a table. One older gray haired man tells us the tour already started. I'm completely confused and look at my watch, and say, "it's only 3 minutes after the start time." Then he says, "We were looking for you!" I said, "Well, you weren't looking very hard because here we all are checking in at the start of the tour." After he checks us in, I ask if we can sprint to catch up to the tour and he says yes. I lean into the doorway and see the rest of the tour - 4 other women right there. So half the tour was 3 minutes "late" and they decided to start, weird but moving on. The woman leading the tour was really quite lovely and I wasn't expecting the house to be so amazing since I was focused on the garden part but I really loved learning about the house and original inhabitants. We are asked several times if we want to join the meditation but I'm getting culty vibes and we keep politely declining. Once we are outside, we are asked again if we would like to join the meditation and now the gray haired man is with us again and I said, "No, we really just wanted to see the gardens." At this point he says, "Oh the gardens are closed." I'm completely confused again and said, "What? But that's why we came-- to see the gardens & labyrinth." He then says, "Oh! well the labyrinth is open but the gardens are closed." At this point I think they asked us to join the meditation again. I asked when they expected them to be opened and the response was June of this year, maybe because there have been a lot of delays. Again, weird, but okay we just want to walk the labyrinth. There were a couple of other women walking it and then our group of three joined too. I'm halfway thru it and I look up and see the gray haired man STARING at us - which included 3 preteens/teens in halter tops posing and taking pix - and I was so incredibly creeped out. I had no idea what to do, cross the labyrinth? ask him what he is staring at? I came to this place to ground and do something calming and now I have a man staring at me and other women but since everyone else was looking down or at their phone, they didn't notice so I didn't want to disrupt THEIR experience. Eventually he went away, to join the meditation I guess. We finished the labyrinth and left. It was only $6 but since it didn't mention the gardens were closed on the website or ticket, I am asking for a refund. Would I go again when the gardens are open? Yes. Would I recommend to others? Yes. Would I advise against it as a single woman? Also yes. I will update if they refund us or not.

But the second you actually spend time here, especially on a weekend, it turns into something completely different and honestly pretty disturbing. The park gets insanely packed, which already makes everything feel chaotic, but the real issue is the condition of the facilities. The restrooms are beyond unacceptable. Not just "oh it's a public park" bad, but genuinely shocking, like something that makes you stop and question how this is even allowed to stay open. I'm talking about conditions that feel neglected to the point where it's uncomfortable just being nearby, let alone going inside. I went into two different restrooms thinking maybe one was just unlucky... nope, both were equally disgusting. I'll be posting pictures because it honestly doesn't feel believable otherwise. It gives off this weird in-between vibe where you don't know if you're at a city park or some kind of neglected shelter space, and that's not something anyone should feel at a place like this. What really made it worse for me is walking into the recreation building with the basketball and volleyball courts and realizing it's the same story inside. Worn down, under-maintained, and just lacking any sense that the city is actually investing in it. Meanwhile, you literally have the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust right there being renovated and cared for, which just makes the contrast even more frustrating. How is that level of attention happening on one side, but the actual park people use daily feels ignored? It's honestly disappointing because this place has so much potential. The location alone should make it one of the best parks in LA, but instead it feels like it's being left behind. I hate to say it, but I probably won't be coming back. There are just too many other parks where you don't have to deal with this level of neglect.
