I've gone a few times around noon during the week and there are usually less than 5 dogs there, lots of open parking spaces in dog park lot. It's a nice long lot, full dirt, drinking water fountains with pet level bowl, waste pick up bags, a few spots with benches and shade. Park runs parallel to the greenway trail. Located right across the street from Whittier Dog Club. My dog always has a great time here. Hours are from sunrise to sunset. read more

Cool little dog park right off the Greenway Trail. Separate large and small dog areas. We went on a Saturday morning and there were very few people there. Not sure if it ever gets too crowded, but I appreciate that it was not. Met some cool owners and their doggies while there. Appreciate that there were shades benches for us hoomans and a working water fountains for our pets. I wish there was some grass, but you can't have everything I guess. read more

This is for mostly the little dog side and also in comparison to other local parks I've visited (Hacienda HeightsDali's dog park and Brea's Wildcatters) I rescued a dog knowing this was going to be our local space for him (no yard life) . We've been going for the last 18 months, here are the pros and cons. I'm going to keep it real- Whittier demographics are diverse but also gentrifying yet, its still a highly latino area. There are going to be chihuahuas, mix breeds, little white dogs, pitbulls and many brown people. I don't think this matters but I've seen people, usually white, come this park act like its "the ghetto" because its dirt or a dog peed on their fancy purse they shouldn't have taken to any dogpark. Everyone is welcome but don't shade the diversity. if it matters to you, Brea is a whiter area which is reflected by its many designer doodles. Dali's demographic leans more Asian owners & purebreeds. Both are newer and have had millions put into their parks. pros: -its always free AND you have greenway trail access for dog walking/pulls/biking -usually parking- except for sunset in sunny months...but people figure it out or park on philadelphia -always has doggy bags/cleaned weekly - In and out down the street for pup patties - multiple starbucks close for coffee/ pup cups - the regulars I know tend to be welcoming, except the clique groups, but don't be surpised if we mention things like closing the gate or taking your dog off the leash so its not reactive. newbies often underestimate this issue and are surpised how their dog does better off leash. Trust that we've seen dogs dart out , so its not ego, just dog safety as there is a busy street nearby. cons: - no restrooms nearby, plan accordingly - some benches don't have shade so wear sunscreen - people not reading park rules ot learning ettiqutte (leaving gates open) - People on the big dog side have the most issues due to the owners not knowing their dogs ot breeds or reactions enough- especially weekends (more newbies) -Smaller dog side issues usually are owners not giving their dog a time out or monitoring humping but just call the owner if u experience a fixated dog. don't be shy. it seems a lot of people don't like the dirt/no grass but I wash my dog weekly, so I don't have an issue. cleaning is Thursday so come those days. When it gets hot that is the norm for most parks, I've seen more flies at Brea's sand though that park is mostly astroturf...their benches really smell. - Yes there clique groups at various times, just ignore them. some are nicer, some warm up after a while, some don't but I'm from the school of being friendly but not wanting friends- it's my dog's space so I just avoid. I was aware of the morning clique from a previous review so it made visits easier. - Weekends are for newbies, so just know that is when you get there its when new people who don't know park rules like taking off the leash before entering or those who are apprehensive of the space of their dog's reactions. It's also when new people bring in problematic stuff like food/treats/fluffy toys because generally they don't understand those cause problems. read more

Caution: MORNINGS There is a husky named Buddy in the area whose owners an older couple appear unable or unwilling to properly control their dog. Despite knowing that Buddy is aggressive toward other dogs, they continue to downplay the behavior and even joke about how he is friendly with humans but not dogs, he has attacked my dogs twice, both times resulting in emergency vet visits and stitches. Please be careful if you see them read more

Whittier Dog Park - Friends! - Dog Parks Near Me - Whittier, California

What a great space! This place is quite large. Of the handful that I've been to this is the second largest location. - space (plenty of space in both large and small dog sections, water fountain available by entrance, benches scattered throughout available to take a break) 5/5 - floor (a type of sandy gravel like dirt almost) 4/5 - cleanliness (majority of people seem to pick up their dog's poop but on occasion you see some bombs. Most left over bombs seemed to be in the corners of the property) 4/5 - owner responsibility (most people seem like regulars here, the slightly more aggressive dogs seem like they have a good hold on but overall, the regulars are all friendly) 5/5 At least during winter, seems like 3:30-5pm is a good time to come for lots of fur friends read more

| PROS | + Dog park is separated by size. + There were several benches inside and a water fountain for dogs. + Parking is not too bad. | CONS | - My preference is grass, but I understand that is hard to maintain. Everything here is dirt so your dog will be super dusty when leaving. - I'm not sure how they maintain/clean this dog park, but right when I walked into the small dog side, it smelled of urine. - I have seen some reviews with concern about owners not keeping an eye on their dog. Well, there definitely are people here who are there to socialize with other people and/or do other things on their phone. Their dog is running around and being a bit too aggressive with others but nothing is done. I've been to several dog parks, and I would say that the El Dorado Dog Park is one of the best. read more

Cute dog park that has two separate sections. One for dogs 30 lbs and over and the other section for dogs weighing under 30 lbs. I'm writing my review based on he small sided dog park. Clean for the most part but it is a dirt based dog park so expect to bring some wipes for your dogs feet. Also when I came most of the dirt was wet so closed toe shoes are recommended. Has a water fountain for dogs as well as five benches to sit on- two of them which are under a shade tent. Has two trash cans on the small dog side as well as bags to pick up after your dog(s). I really thought the fire hydrants are a funny touch because I feel like a few dogs enjoyed peeing on them haha. I appreciate that it has its own small parking lot- which can get filled up at peak hours. I also noticed it's next to a bike path in case anyone is interested in that! read more

Love this park! There are many friendly people who come by and lots of friendly dogs! My dogs LOOOOVEEE coming here and running around like wild animals. I take my little maltipoo to the BIG DOG side with her boxer brother. She has yet to be harmed, although lots of the big dogs love to punk her since she's so small compared to them. Definitely recommend coming here, only downside is I have to shower my dogs since they always jump on my bed read more

I started coming here about 2 weeks ago. Both times I went, I witnessed a dog fight. The first one was sad to watch. In this case it looked like the attacker dog was already being vicious even before he attacked. In this case, I strongly believe that if you know your dog can be territorial to an extreme or unpredictable, maybe reconsider. The damage that attack dog did to the victim dog was absolutely horrifying. I just wanted to spread the word on this and let future goers know. But on the bright side, this dog park is really nice. Lots of play area and many of the dog owners watch there dogs. read more

I took my daughter's dog there . And I was shocked of how many owners don't pick up their poop . So I was compelled to pick up every piece of dog shit man that was a chore . I don't understand why ppl can't pick up their own poop . They have nice bags located around the park and trash cans . Ppl pick up after your dogs it just takes a minute or two . Plus it makes the park look nice not like a dirty litter box !! read more

This is such a great local dog park for my Koda. 2 sides of the park, one for small breads, and one for large breeds. It is well maintained by the city, I've only had one instance where a dog owner didn't clean up after their pup. The large breed area is just massive with lots of room to stretch their legs. While the small breed side is large enough for every one (k9 and humans) to not have to crowd each other. read more

Excellent dog park. If you live locally stop bye and if you don't it's definitely worth the trip. This dog park is well serviced and maintained. It does have separate parks for small dogs and large dogs. Very positive and friendly environment. It's a great place to bring your dog and have them play while you meet new people and socialize. Every owner was extremely friendly. Poop bags are provided in the park incase you forget yours. The park does not have lights so you may want to be here before dawn. Parking is also limited. Overall, very excellent dog park. read more

Pretty nice dog park, get ready for a dusty puppy. But nice dog water station and seating for the dog moms and pops.

Fifteen years in the works - my home town residence of Whittier has its first dog park! Located directly behind the Whittier Green Trail, this dog park has its own parking lot. I arrived on a weeknight and the grand opening of the park was just last Saturday. The dog park is divided into two sections - large dog & small dog areas. The large dog area is much larger than the small dog area. It's big overall- a great place to bring your doggie. Before entering either area there's enclosed areas to unleash and prepare your pooch which was great planning. Inside each section you'll find dummy fire hydrants, tarped shaded areas, cement benches and plenty of space for your loved ones to run wild and mingle with many other pooches. Heart the location since I can get in a nice walk on the green trail and then kick it at the dog park. I definitely will be returning here again. read more

Although I frequently bring my Labrador to this park, and there are people who are involved and create events for the dogs to participate in, there are a lot of owners who pay absolute NO attention to their dog. I have had way too many experiences where I was scared for my dog and we had to leave and try and avoid coming at certain times to avoid certain people/dogs. If you have a male who is not neutered, PLEASE DO NOT bring them to the park! Not only is this a clear stated violation, but it is very real and very scary for females! Spayed or not. I had various encounters with the same tan/white male pit-bull, not neutered, who follows my Labrador all throughout the park, refusing to let her play with any other dog, MALE OR FEMALE, and is being ridiculously territorial over her! I have not been able to bring her since. Not only this, but the owner is talking the WHOLE time, and is not engaging in what's happening (he engaged only twice when it was happening literally right in front of him while his friends were obnoxiously laughing?), while it seems everyone else in the dog park is noticing what is occurring! It is very frustrating and dangerous. Please DO NOT TAKE NOT NEUTERED AGGRESSIVE DOGS TO THE PARK! Side note: the pit-bull himself is very sweet towards humans, the owner is the issue. read more

I am not one to complain, but there is a group of people who come here between the hours of seven and eight they sit around on their own lounge, chairs, drink coffee, and donuts and let their dogs crap all over the place. I have walked around several times picking up crap in front of them and they say nothing and then after I finish, picking it all up the dogs crap again these people do nothing the city or other people should say something or I will and if I do, I won't be nice read more

Came by here for the first time several weeks back and was not too impressed. This park is entirely dirt and did not have much shade at all. The small dog area is much smaller than the area for large dogs and was loaded with feces, even though there were plenty of poopy bags around. There were only a few other people in that area and none of the dogs really wanted anything to do with others. The other dog owners would just glare and never said anything to me. The large dog area emptied out shortly after I arrived but I never went over there. I did walk my dog along the walk trail that goes alongside the dog park to check out the other side. That was a nice area that was enjoyable. In the end, this dog park is what it is. It has potential to be better, but only time will tell. read more

Love this little dog park in the area.. Shouldn't say that small. Its a decent size. two sections. One for small dogs, and the other larger section for dogs over 30lbs. Its right next to the whittier greenway trail as well. Thought the parking lot is kinda small. Open from sun up to sun down. read more

Love bringing my dog to this park. Everyone here is so friendly. Park is big and it's all dirt so makes it easy to pick up your dogs waste. They have waste/poop baggies all over the park just in case you forget to bring yours which is a big plus and very convenient. Park has two sides.. one for small/medium dogs and other side for large dogs. My Mojo definitely loves coming here! Highly recommended!! read more

This is a super nice and large dog park. There is plenty of parking. When we went, we met up with a friend of ours, but there was definitely a group of regulars which is nice too. It is mostly dirt in the beginning section of the park and some grass towards the back. There is plenty of sitting for owners. I will definitely bring my dog back since it was clean and owners were friendly to everyone. read more

This is the first park that my pup went to after he received all his shots. Every single time I come , there is always an abundant amount of dogs which is perfect! Basically the nicer the weather , the more puppies. I love how the drinking fountain looks very well maintained and clean. The people here in Whittier are so nice and friendly well at least the ones I have run into. People pick up after their kiddos. My dog loves coming here now that he is more comfortable interacting with the other pups! I do have some recommendations though... 1) Add lighting of some sort, especially during the winter hours now that it gets dark around 4 PM. Some people can come after the sun goes down because they get out of work late or whatever reason it may be. 2) There is a lot of dirt... I wish it had grass of some sort because my pup gets really dirty afterwards which is okay because he isn't high maintenance when it comes to grooming. Just less dirt in general lol. read more

I would not recommend this dog park. There are irresponsible dog owners who bring their aggressive dogs who bite other dogs and don't take any responsibility. My husky was bit by a white albino pit today around 2pm. The city should have cameras there to help protect owners from irresponsible pet owners. He had to get stitches, antibiotics, and pain medication. The owner did not take any responsibility so I left and rushed him to the vet. Never coming to this park again. read more

#1 Son & his fiancee have been bringing their dogs here for some time and said that we'd probably like it here too. We did! And decided to make this our preferred dog park. Pros- It feels clean! It's leveled dirt & gravel which is okay because you don't have to worry about stepping on hidden poop mines in grass. Nice 2-gate entry. The small dog side is just the right size. Even though much smaller than the big dogs' side, there's still plenty of room for them to run. Bench areas (one canopied). Some colorful hydrants & trees for the dogs to do their "marking" thing. Very friendly folks. We were chatting with people the whole time. People were being attentive to their dogs. There were quite a few terrier and chihuahua mixes just like our dog. Cons- Only one is that I wish there was more parking. Not a big deal. It's easy enough to find street parking and walk in. Once our Ruxin finished lifting his leg on everything he came across, he had a great time sniffing butts & running around in packs. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/whittier-dog-park-whittier?select=Ug3SI4BlBmqYyUJavLodyg He seemed to be much happier here than at the other dog parks/beaches we've taken him to. We extended our stay because he was having so much fun! read more

Whittier Dog Park - My pup Lobo was having a blast playing with other dogs ! - Dog Parks Near Me - Whittier, California

Saturday I took my small mixed breed dog to this park. My dog was a pandemic dog and previous owner did not socialize him but he does not aggress towards other dogs; he just doesn't know how to play. Inside the small side there were some big dogs and one male husky dog that was not neutered who would not leave my dog alone. My dog just stood there stiffly and the hackles on the husky were up and he only bothered my dog. I yelled to the owner to get his dog to the large section and he said "when I got here no one was here." He did not seem concerned but the people around me noticed his dog's obsession and aggressive behavior towards my dog. So I will not be returning. it is necessary to keep your dog on correct side and always watch your dog. read more

Although spacious, I would suggest coming at different times. Not morning! There's always a clique of owners who have misbehaved dogs. If you hear Daisy, Buddy, or see a bulldog thats older,walk away. They like to fight with dog's and the owners really don't care. That whole clique own dogs that are not okay to bring to the dog park. Territorial over toys, nippy, aggressive. All while they sit, drink coffee, and gossip. read more

So I was naive in my previous review. The savages have arrived at this dog park. I'm talking about you small dog owners that somehow think it's appropriate to take your 10lb dogs to the big dog yard. Maybe you guys have a distorted view on size and you actually think your dog is bigger than he/she really is. Since these same small dog owners are likely unable to distinguish reality from fiction just as they're probably unlikely to differentiate the size of a monster truck and a small pickup, I'll give an example. If you have a kid that's a great quarterback in Pop Warner, would you want to throw him into a game against the D-line of the Buffalo Bills?? No! You'd be labeled an unfit parent, you dolts! Big dogs just playing and sniffing can actually hurt little dogs. Take them to the small dog side. Do the right thing. And as far as your size distortion problem. My advice is to leave the dog park and head to your nearest Corvette dealership. They can help you with your little problem. read more

There aren't many dog parks around so since I just moved to whittier, this one is very convenient for many reasons. There's a side for small to medium dogs and a separate side for big to really large dogs. Not much shade so when the season changes, you might wanna change times. 4:30p and on are good times to bring your dog if you want them around a lot of other dogs. Earlier in the am there aren't many. I FRIENDLY REMINDER::: THIS PARK IS ALL DIRT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR FURBABY. It's the right to do. If you take a look by the trash can that's closest to the parking lot you'll see a poop bag dispenser and theres another fully stocked one by the shaded bench area (not too sure) I do know that they have two for sure. This park does have a doggy fountain and one for humans. Never seen a restroom so you might have to find a spot and do it like the furries (jk) Don't think anyone should keep their dog from socializing or deprive them from a fun time. I know some people prefer grass but that just isn't the cass at this park. My name is Lex so if you're a yelper and you see me with my Little yorkie (Apple) be sure to come say hi so we can welcome you and make friends with your fur baby read more

Came here yesterday with my boxer. No one was here booooo :( Anyways... so the large dog area is large! Heaps of room for my big goofball to run up and down. Wish there was a drinking fountain on each end because it is a bit of a walk (just a tad bit). They have heaps of bag stations so that you really have no excuse to not pick up your dogs mess... although awkwardly I saw poop like 2 feet away from the bags.... I dont understand why owners are too lazy to pick up their dogs mess.... I like all the little shaded areas they have. Plenty of seating for owners in the shade. I hope there are more (even one) other dogs there the next time we go! read more
