Irvine Central Bark Dog Park
6405 Oak Canyon Rd
Irvine, CA 92618
Open until 10pm for those that work hard, and play hard. There’s water bowls, dog poop bags, and lots of seating
An additional great feature this park is there is an area for small dogs and a separate area for large dogs
A huge park with high ratings but sometimes there were reports of aggressive dogs with owners being very lax.
Laguna Beach Dog Park
20672 Laguna Canyon Rd
Laguna Beach, CA 92652
Well kept and clean park with separate fenced areas for large and small dogs on green real grass. Side street metered parking and closed on Wednesdays are the leading complaints. Doggie bags are available and so is a drinking fountain.
Newport Beach Dog Park
Northeast corner of Avocado Ave and San Miguel Dr.
Newport Beach, CA 92660
PARKING: There’s designated street parking right across at 1441 Avocado Ave at the Newport Coast Pain/Hoag Surgicare building which is directly before you hit San Nicolas Dr. From the parking area, make a right, follow the long path up the hill after you make a curve and then you will see the dog park at the top of the hill.
There are some picnic tables when you reach the top with a beautiful ocean view.
Other reviews are it is a little small and if your dog enjoys running all over then this park may not meet their standards. Also, the grass is fake and there’s not any separate big/little dog areas.
Laguna Woods Dog Park
24400 Ridge Route Dr
Laguna Woods, CA 92637
Reviews are that it is a smaller park so your dog won’t out run you very far and “a place for paws” has artificial grass. Typically smaller dogs come here and the crowd tends to be older.
Mission Viejo Dog Park
Felipe Rd and Fieldcrest Lane
Mission Viejo, CA 92692
Another highly rated park by pet lovers with separate fenced area for large and small dogs and dog fountains. This park in Mission Viejo has real grass, doggy bags and shaded seating area with water fountains for people. Negatives are limited parking as it can get packed after 5pm.
Wagsdale Dog Park
Oneil and Cecil
Ladera Ranch, CA 92694
A well kept, tidy and frequented by friendly dogs and people. The size of the dog park is very good and truly large enough for bigger dogs to really run around or to throw a tennis ball or frisbee. There are separate big and small dog areas and real grass. Residents in Ladera Ranch and adjacent areas are getting a petition signed to stop LAMARC from converting the dog park into a community center.
Coto De Caza Dog Park
Via Pajaro
Coto de Caza, CA 92679
A well-kept park with a large percentage of pet owners are very responsible watching their dogs and picking up their waste which makes it ideal for all dog owners
