  • Located within the bounds of Culver City Park
  • Off-leash park on 1-acre lot
  • Ample parking
  • Water fountains available
  • Dusty gravel lot (some do consider it a flea-deterrent!)
  • Late hours—open until 10 p.m. daily with lights over play area

The Bottom Line

There are an estimated 1.6 million dogs in Los Angeles County, and they need room to run and play. Fortunately, L.A. is also home to some of the fanciest dog parks around, with plenty of off-leash space for dogs to do their thing. So grab the tennis balls, treats, and poop bags, and let’s roll!

Don’t have time for a dog park visit? It’s easier than ever to find an awesome local dog walker. Phew.
