I'm looking for some help from the locals here.
In a couple weeks we will be in LA on our way to Australia. We will have our 2 dogs with us.
Are there any good parks around LAX that allow dogs? They will be spending a day and a half there until their flight out. I managed to find a hotel that allows dogs at least.
Any suggestions/tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks [thumbsup]
No FHE, but there are 3 listed here:

P.S.
Some of the locals may be able to be persuaded to have a beer with ya while you're here. ;)
The Westminster Dog Park in Venice (listed on Speeddogs link) can be a bit rough - tough owners, tough dogs. Seldom am I there without witnessing a dogfight. YMMV.
There's a new(ish) dog park by the Santa Monica Airport is awesome - clean (as dog parks go), nice dogs, nice people, great layout. That said, your pets are required to have SM approved dog tags or risk a ticket. That said, I don't have the tags and have never had an issue.
Lastly, there's a HUGE dog park in Brentwood on Barrington. It's like the mother of all westside dog parks. So big, that it's easy to lose sight of a dog, especially if you're watching two. Too big for my taste. But great people watching.
Have fun.
Perfect!
You guys sure are helpful. Speeddog wins a beer [drink]
Only you will have to meet me somewhere near LAX. And somewhere that I can keep the dogs close by. I'm thinking patio.
If I can persuade anyone else to have a beer with me let me know.
Thanks again guys [thumbsup]
Not too sure where you're staying but we're dog friendly here at Hilton LAX [thumbsup]
We have some nice gardens on the third floor for a potty stop & we even have Mutt Mitts for those times when business is booming [laugh]
Nice dog park over in Redondo Beach as well & 2 blocks away is a great coffee house & a self service dog wash [thumbsup]
Let me know if you need anything else as I'm here at the Hilton everyday except Mon. & Tues.

Thanks Gus. I had checked with the Hilton but the lady said that the dogs can't be over 25 lbs. Mine are a bit larger.

Sounds like a good place for me to bed down at for a few.
Thanks for the heads up, Gus!

I"ll even walk you on my breaks Bad Dog :-*
Culver City has a dog park called The Bone Yard. It's less than 5 miles from LAX. If you have a chance, take the dogs on a hike at Runyon Canyon. It's an off leash hiking trail in Hollywood.
There's also a really large dog park at the base of the Hollywood sign.
Take Lake Hollywood drive till it ends an make a right onto canyon lake drive.
Great views of downtown and the Hollywood Hills.
