Pooch Park

Drove down through hilly and picturesque Laguna Nigel to do a quote on a kitchen cabinet refinshing job. Gps went down in car so Kenji and Kobi were pretty riled up by the time we got here...1 hour &15 mins. This dog park is in a very nice setting and almost inspired me to walk off into one of the many surrounding hiking trails. It sits above a canyon and you take a wide wood chip trail from the parking lot or the shortcut along the street I didnt know was there. The dog park has plenty of room for bigger dogs but the small dog area was too small in comparison--small dogs run too. No One was in the small dog area maybe for this reason. So I took Kenji and Kobe over to the much larger big dog area...mindful to keep a good eye on my sometimes tempermental Kobi. Well there weren't too many big dogs so both dogs had good time making friends including a big dog named McGruff. The dog park is quite serene and we'll visit again if in town.

The Laguna Niguel dog park "pooch park" has recently been redone and the small dog area is much larger. They've also added more places to sit, more shade, and planted trees. It's super clean with well-maintained separate spaces for big and small dogs and with a beautiful view!

Upside. Nice wide open area with water available. Seating under shade cover and well kept. Downside. Parking was a pain as it’s behind the fire station and the park surface is bark. We’re from out of town so don’t know of any other options.

Always a great place for my social mutt. Never any problems with her rough housing and she always finds a match with a particular doggo every time we go. I always forgot to take pictures when I'm there, but attached is my girl so you all can fawn over her. Lol

A nice big space with mulch for pups' paws rather than rocks, with a few shade structures for the humans (which are appreciated, as there aren't many trees). My only complaint is that the water dispensers are on the far side of the park (by the fire station), so you might want to bring a water bottle for yourself and your dog to reduce your trips from one side to the other. No food allowed, porta potty just outside the gates.
