Rules

In LA Recreation and Parks dog parks, dogs over four months old must be vaccinated, licensed, spayed or neutered and wear their tags, and must never be left alone. Keep your dog on a leash in the parking area and pick up after it right away. Puppies under four months, dogs in heat, sick or aggressive dogs, food, glass, alcohol and smoking are not allowed, and small children need close supervision. Each dog park closes once a week for maintenance. (LA Recreation and Parks)

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
