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.

Beautiful 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.

Great 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!

Pretty place. Separate little and big dog areas. Agility course and tons of tennis balls laying around for the dogs. There is also a water fountain.
