LOS ANGELES—Humans need to touch grass just as much as dogs do, maybe even more. A trip to the dog park is a great way to get back to the Great Outdoors. Luckily, there are lots of off-leash areas in L.A. and the weather is pretty much perfect year-round.
From Runyon Canyon (where celebrities are seen hiking with their four-legged friends) to Weho’s Hart Park, mere steps from the heart of the historic Sunset Strip, to Rosie’s (the only official dog beach in L.A. County), you can be free to roam off the leash, at no or low cost.
Here’s an list of local City of Los Angeles Dog Parks, as well as some private play spaces for dogs who prefer a more private options and extra human perks.
