Title: Dogs At LAX
Post by: SKOM on September 04, 2008, 02:08:56 PM
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]

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]

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!

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.
