    Don't let the old reviews deter you! The dog park "pooch park" has recently been redone and the small dog area is much larger. They've also added more places to sit, more shade, and planted trees. It's super clean with well-maintained separate spaces for big and small dogs and with a beautiful view!

    A big field covered with wood splinters. Just a big enclosed field with big dogs running around. No shade or trees or anything pleasant, except for two picnic tables with covers. It's a long walk to get from the parking lot to the field.

    Shaded seating areas for pet enthusiasts and water buckets for pets. :)

    As the owner of a pet sitting/dog-walking business I can very much appreciate the cleanliness and safe space Laguna Niguel has created here at Pooch Park. With its many water buckets, easy to find a hose bib, and ample poop bag dispensers along with many seating areas (some shaded, some not) it just couldn't be more dog and human friendly. I love it!

    Desperado!

    Pretty good dog park. I have a boxer and a shepherd that we take here and they love it. It is really big and there are always a lot of dogs here. There is a little bit of a walk to get to it from the parking lot, but they have poop bags along the path, so it's pretty convenient. The people there are fairly nice and have never had any problems with the dogs there either. There is a small dog area as well, that I rarely see small dogs in. You have to walk through the big dog area briefly to get to it, so that could be a possibility as to why it's not used much. There are covered areas to sit at and watch you dog play, they also have a lot of water around for the dogs to drink. Worth checking out if you live close to it!

    My "clean" dog....thanks Laguna Niguel!

    This place sucks...especially for small dogs. The "small dog" area is a 20'x20' fenced area...a terrible joke. Two trees, a port-a-potty, I felt like it was worse than Coachella on a bad day. (If you've been to Coachella, you'll know what I mean.) The park is totally barren and the wood chips/dirt guarantees a filthy dog afterward. There are other ways to conserve water then to just fence in a dirt lot and call it a dog park. The parking situation is a trek from where the "park" actually is. The County pound has nicer accommodations. Last time ever!

The added butterfly garden and its butterfly chairs make it more special. The soccer fields are filled with kids and adults playing sports. The community center adds that final touch with rooms that can be rented for special events, meetings, and downstairs is access to the heated pool. 5/5 I have attended a few private events at the community center and its a great addition to the area.

She's in the last years of her life and I want her to enjoy all the grassy fields she could possibly want to explore. If you have a free moment and are in need of some tranquil scenery, this place could be it.

    Tommy helped us with our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppy when no one else would! He came to…read moreour house when she was 11 weeks old (other trainers wanted to wait until she had all her puppy shots) and immediately got us off on the right foot for behavior training. He trained my husband and me as well as our puppy! So grateful. Tommy has a gift for knowing how dogs think and he shares that knowledge as part of the session. We never felt rushed to finish a lesson when he came to the house, he just dealt with our issues and reminded us to keep practicing with our dog until next time. We even decided to enroll in his weekly puppy class so that our puppy would learn to behave around other dogs. His private dog park is a god-send as we live in a condo and don't have a yard for our puppy to play in. She loved going there and we'll be back! We highly recommend Tommy. He showed us how to anticipate what our puppy was going to do before she did it and correct her misdeeds before they take place. Five stars!

He is very relatable and has a unique way of teaching that is very enjoyable and actually entertaining, all at the same time! Now that is talent! Tommy was made for this job and well worth his price. You get what you pay for. He definitely does not watch the clock and gives you more than 1 hr and does not leave until he has answered all your questions. My dog is already doing better on our walks. Tommy teaches but you have to do what he says or you have wasted your money. I signed up for 5 lessons and looking forward to the rest. I will update when we are finished.

It's best to use the OC Park pass if you have one or just park at the nearby shopping center. Another gripe I have is the foul stench of the lake / reservoir. Not long ago, hundreds of dead fishes floated about and it was left like that for days. It's near the water reclamation facilities and even on sunnier clearer days, it just seems not worth walking nearby with dogs. So as much as I like the convenient location and the recreational facilities perfect for those with kids, it's just not for dog owners like me.

    Love strolling through Canyon View Park but only on weekdays…read more Parking here is nonexistent. You have to parallel park in specific areas and specific side of the street only. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood and it will be hard to park during the weekends. It's an otherwise peaceful area to walk around in unless you have the unfortunate encounters with unleashed dogs, shrieking children due to the two playgrounds, or inconsiderate people talking extremely loudly on their smartphones. Sometimes you will encounter all 3 and by then, the walk with my dogs are ruined. My one dog is extremely shy and timid so I frequently have to carry her back to the car with another pulling beagle in tow. No fun at all. The poop bag stations are inconsistently filled and the park has dog droppings hidden in any areas of the grass or sidewalk. So if your dogs tend to eat stuff off the ground, WATCH OUT! Mine tried to roll in it and I so didn't appreciate it. The park also leads to several different trails that allows dogs for some of the paths. It will be an extremely steep hill to climb up and down if you access it from the Canyon View Park side. Not for the faint of heart and be aware it has little to no shade. Bring water, and don't attempt to climb if you have sandals on. It will get your feet dusty and good pair of NB or Hokas would really help. In all, I think it's a decent park to go to, but not my first choice due to noise, dog droppings, and ease of access. Avoid on weekends unless you like crowds.
