What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
I’ve been using Dog Resort since the days they were located in Hollywood, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their service has always been exceptional — consistent, caring, and professional. My dogs are very large Borzois, and grooming them properly is no small task. Yet every visit, they come out looking absolutely stunning — their coats gleaming, nails perfectly trimmed, ears and tails spotless, and most importantly, their spirits lifted. You can tell how much they enjoy the experience because they leave happy, relaxed, and confident. What sets Dog Resort apart is the staff’s genuine love for animals and the calm, clean environment they maintain. They treat every dog as if it were their own, with patience and kindness that truly shines through. I trust them completely and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Read more about Dog Resort GlendaleWent Hiking on the brand lateral trail, it was a good workout. Very steep, I slipped, but managed to get through it. Incredible views with alternative ways to get to the top
Read more about Brand ParkScenic hiking in Glendale. Great views. Well maintained trails. Not terribly difficult but can get your heart rate up if you want it to be. Benches and a small grassy park area. Bathrooms and a nature center. Not a lot of parking even with an overflow lot. I didn't have any issues finding a spot today but I could see where there might be challenges from time to time. The girls and I enjoyed our hour or so we were there. Recommended.
Read more about Deukmejian Wilderness ParkVerdugo Park is a cool little neighborhood park with plenty of space for kids to run around and play.
