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.

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.

Updating my review as I did come back to this park with my dog to attend the Larpbo pack walk this…read moreevening. 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 little big pup park is located directly across for the Sherman Oaks Martin Pollard Branch Library with street and small lot parking available. It's easily accessible, especially by locals and always clean. There are some bench/ledges to sit on, just no shade on very warm or sunny days. Lots of natural plants and local flavor charm. The grass is 100% astroturf and they have bags and bins available. Great space to enjoy outdoors with you doggos or extended pup family #DogUncleFun Our main dog is no longer with us (who I'd bring #IMissYouBruno), but it's a full house of arfs with my froomies and their three to enjoy. I never see more than a couple pet kids here at a time as opposed to when they first opened in 2021 - though I don't come as often (after Bruno) - lots of awesome pet parents are mindful of temperaments and helping their dogs get more social, but also knowing when to go - that's enough for the day.

So, there my small dog was, sitting in the small dog enclosure, just waiting for another dog to come in. Which, sadly, never happened... :( Instead, he watched the big dogs over in the big dog area play. I liked a couple things about the park like how breezy it was, how big each of the enclosures are, and how relatively well-kept it is. By relatively well-kept, I mean that I don't smell or see a lot of dog poop while I was there. What I didn't like about the park was how uneven the ground was. Not just in the dog enclosure, but in the dirt road and grassy areas before it. I also don't understand why they placed the parking lot so far from the gates, how steep the dirt road is to the top, and how little shade there is. Definitely some pros and cons to this dog park. I'll likely come back in the fall or spring when the weather gets cooler.

If you're lucky enough to visit during the right season, you may even catch the cherry blossoms, which make the whole experience even more special. There is also plenty of parking on site, which makes visiting easy. One thing to keep in mind is that they are closed on Sundays. Also, if you have extra time, Sepulveda Basin Lake is nearby and worth checking out as well. A lovely, serene spot that feels like a hidden gem in the Valley.
