When I finally found the small dog park area hidden at the back, I was happy
My dog is a Service Animal and she is a bit skiddish about playing with others, since she has been attacked twice
I think this is the best dog park in the area

About Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park

In Van Nuys, Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park offers a spacious area for pups to play, featuring three distinct sections: one for small dogs up to 39 pounds, a large dog area, and a separate timid dog zone. While the large dog section can sometimes see reliable labels ignored, dogs of all sizes generally mingle well here. Many owners appreciate the shaded spots under the trees and the comfortable seating available for human companions, effectively providing a nice break after their dogs have worn themselves out chasing tennis balls scattered throughout the park.

The park’s size allows for plenty of room to run, but there are a few downsides. Gopher holes and the occasional muddy patch during rainy days can be an issue, and some owners don’t always clean up after their dogs, prompting other visitors to step in. Despite these cons, the vibrant atmosphere and the abundance of toys often make it a hit for dogs and their owners alike.

A mobile dog grooming service also frequents the park, adding convenience for those needing a quick trim or wash while their pups play. Overall, Sepulveda Basin Dog Park brings a lively community together, where dog lovers can find a mix of friendly faces and playful pooches, making it a favorite among locals.
