What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
This is an amazing dog park. The ground is covered with wood chips, there are a ton of trees, benches to sit on and plenty of water for the dogs and also lots of balls to fetch and not bring back. They also have a smaller area for small dogs.
Read more about El Chorro Dog ParkBeautiful little hike the overlooks Broad and Orcutt as well as S. Higuera, once you reach the top! Great hike for kids as young as 4, and there's a perfect picnic area with tables, grass, and a half-court basketball court.
Read more about Stoneridge ParkGreat spot for disc golf in the area, easy course for an afternoon. And their dog park is incredible! They have two, so the small dogs have their own space if they need it, both both areas are massive with agility stuff setup and different landscaping (rocks, grass, mulch). Laguna is a great spot!
