Laguna Woods Dog Park

Visited for the first time with a small dog that can hold its own with larger dogs. But there is no separate area for small dogs. The shape of the park is long and thin so dogs can establish small territories or avoid specific dogs easily. Our dog enjoyed the long length to run full speed from end to end. It turned out to be a good experience over all.

Great dog park that's open from 7AM to Dusk every day (except for Tuesdays when they close for cleaning until around 1PM). The parking lot is a bit of a hike from the park itself, but that's because the previous iteration of this park was further up the street. They moved it to get it away from residents. Double gates at the single entrance allow you to unleash your pooch before entering, or as you're leaving. Just do NOT have both gates open at the same time if there are other dogs in the park. There are plenty of regulars there, and the dogs are almost always friendly. I've never seen a fight there that wasn't exacerbated by humans.

A dog park with a great community. Long and skinny, it is well maintained. Dog bags are available. Lots of shade and seating. Has astro-turf for grass. Parking is long and skinny too, and may not be enough during peak times. A short walk to the park. No restroom.

This is a lovely dog park in Laguna woods. I come here when I visit my friend. It is a mixed size dog park meaning any dog can come inside. It is faux grass, has a water fountain for people and dogs. Lots of good shade and benches and seating. Doggie bags. And almost 100% of the time it's Laguna woods residence here with their very well-behaved dogs. The size difference does not generally matter. Very infrequently do I see people who do not live in Laguna woods visit, but seemingly their dogs are not used to being around and at times it causes a problem. That happened today but the residents were pretty quick to point out this dog's behavior and ask that person to leave. I'm familiar with the morning and the afternoon regulars, they are great people with great dogs. This is a great little Park to stop by to get your dog's energy out. But please make sure that your dog is familiar with all dog sizes and can get along with them well before you decide to come here.

Second visit...same comments as in the first... Nicely maintained dog park. Interesting layout, starting with a long, one lane parking lot... The dog area at the western end of the lot is equally long and "slender". (approximately 100 yards long by about 20 yards wide) It's flanked on both sides lengthwise by numerous shade trees in decorative rock planters. Wicker armchairs line both sides as well as a few round "picnic" tables mixed in. The "grassy" area is all artificial turf...mixed feelings on that. Great for keeping dogs clean and venue looking sharp, but might be a bit ruff on dog's pads, especially if they are aggressively chasing toys/balls. "One size fits all"; no separate areas for large/small dogs.
