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

My dog loves the Whittier dog park! It's a great space - spacious, clean, and filled with friendly owners. Separate areas for small and large dogs ensure a safe play environment. Dogs run, play, and socialize with ease. Perfect for exercise and making new friends!

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

Shaded benches

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!

On the way home from the dog park

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

Koda making fast friends.

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.

Small dog recreational area

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.

One of my pups favorite parks. Plenty of space and people are great. Have not had a bad experience.

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.

See all
