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.

    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.

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 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.

Definitely not for it's looks or amenities, but for its wide open space and generally courteous dogs and owners. Aesthetics/amenities - 3/5 Park is generally divided into two parts: 1) small grass turf section with some chairs and benches; and 2) large dirt/sand area with one ladder/slide and short plastic pipe. Not the prettiest place we've been too, but it is very open and allows all the dogs to zoom around to chase, play fetch, etc. There are 3 areas to drink water as well. Peoples' - 4/5 Overall, the people (and dogs) we have interacted with have been positive. People want to chat and have our dogs meet and play. Everyone looks out for their own dogs habits and behaviors. And if something goes bananas - people tend to help out. Of course you'll have random anomalies of: 1) really sensitive owner; 2) more than needed non neutered and spayed dogs; or 3) untrained dogs. But it's definitely way less than any other parks that we've been to with the same size. One funny story was this one lady complaining about her huge German Shepherd being humped by a small dog, which didn't even reach the middle of the German Shepherd's stomach. "My dog is really sensitive. He's very uncomfortable and anxious...." And the GS was just sniffing around as the small dog tried to hump his leg. My lady and I were cracking up from afar. But to the owner's credit, he sincerely apologized and carried his dog away. I didn't think it was necessary. But alas, better to not be yelled at I suppose Bonus - 5/5 During the summer, some people brought a projector and setup a sheet screen to play Mario Kart. Pretty sweet.

It gives you peace of mind knowing they can run around and play without worrying about them wandering toward the street. The playground itself is great and well maintained, and the surrounding park has a really nice walking path that loops around the whole area. It's perfect if you want to take a relaxing walk while the kids play or just enjoy the space. There are also plenty of grassy areas and picnic tables throughout the park, which makes it a great place to bring snacks, sit down, or even have a small picnic. Overall it's a really family friendly park with a safe play area and lots of open space to enjoy.

There's a few picnic tables but keep in mind there's no restrooms. The grass is very well-kept and feels very nice having a third of the park fenced for some safety for children and dogs. Street parking is only available as there's no parking lot. No courts or anything here, mainly a free open grass space!! I never really saw any problematic individuals around the area, but as always, just be cautious of surroundings! A very decent and nice park in the middle of a neighborhood.

I love…read morecoming to this park for dog training and for spending time with my dog allowing her to sniff and run on an extended leash (either 30 to 45 feet leash). The great thing about this park is that there is a sidewalk to walk on to walk the perimeter of the lake, or there are many areas of large green fields that surround the park. I have seen other dogs off leash, and normally this gives me great hesitation, but in a large park like this, you can be far enough distance away from everyone else and their dogs to avoid them. Now that it's spring, everything is blossoming and blooming, but be careful, when I was here the grass had not yet been mown, and there are so many foxtails growing right now. So many got caught in my shoes and thankfully I checked my dog's body completely and her feet and none had stuck to her. When things are mown it's great but also beware of the ants. When I was on the side of the park that has the football field sized grass area, I was watching my dog sniff and play and suddenly I felt something biting me. I looked down and dozens of red ants were climbing me from the dirt. I must have mistakenly stood on an ant mound. Thirdly, just also keep aware of coyotes, I have seen a coyote several times at Lake Balboa and they do not seem fearful whatsoever and they are just walking around casually in the middle of the day. This park is a true gem because of how beautiful and serene it makes life feel. There are people fishing in the lake, walkers, runners, people relaxing on benches reading, friends playing cards, birthday parties or other events, people bicycling or skateboarding. I love this park.

The lake is…read morebeautiful, especially in the mornings and around sunset, and the walking path around it is perfect for a chill stroll, jog, or bike ride. There's always a good mix of people here families, couples, dog walkers, and folks just trying to get some fresh air. The park is spacious, well-maintained, and surprisingly peaceful considering how central it is. Plenty of picnic tables, grassy areas to relax, and spots to just sit and people-watch. The ducks and birds add to the whole vibe. Parking is usually easy, which is a huge plus, and the restrooms are decent for a public park. On weekends it can get busy, but it never feels overwhelming because there's so much space. Whether you're looking for a quick walk, a picnic date, or a calm place to clear your head, Lake Balboa is a solid go-to. Definitely one of my favorite outdoor spots in the Valley.
