Top 5 Dog Parks in Orange County (November 2016)

We deal with a lot of clients that relocate with their pets as well as renters looking for places that are pet-friendly. When moving into a new area, we often get the question about nearby dog parks. I've put together a list of 5 of the top dog parks in OC. Even though there are only 5 listed there are several more in the county that are worth checking out.

1. Olive Hills Dog Park - Brand new dog park! Located in Anaheim Hills on the border of Anaheim and Orange. Very clean, two areas - one for big dogs, one for small, with toys and obstacles provided. Only current downsides are the size of the park and that there's not any shaded areas at the moment. Address:700 S Nohl Canyon Rd, Anaheim, CA 92807
2. Laguna Beach Dog Park - In South OC, one of the best pooch parks is the Laguna Beach Dog Park. The Laguna Beach Dog Park is one of the biggest in all of OC. Tons of space for the dogs to roam, run, and play! Parking can get difficult during peak hours. Address: 20672 Laguna Canyon Rd. Laguna Beach, CA 92652
3. Mission Viejo Dog Park - Sticking to the south, we've got the Mission Viejo dog park. Also a big dog park with lots of room for the dogs to hang. This park also has separate areas for big dogs and smaller dogs. All around great park! Address: 25100 Felipe Rd Mission Viejo, CA 92692
4. Irvine Central Bark Dog Park - A very popular dog park in Irvine is the Irvine Central Bark Dog Park. Fantastic areas for all sizes of dogs with lots of toys and balls to entertain the pups as they enjoy their day out. Address: 6405 Oak Canyon Rd Irvine, CA 92618
5. Huntington Dog Beach - Not exactly a dog park but even better it's a dog beach! This is a favorite of many dog lovers and their furry friends. You can enjoy the beauty of Huntington Beach while your dog runs free meeting friends, digging in the sand, or catching some waves. Lots of space to roam, doesn't get too crowded, and the dogs just love it (especially if they've never been to the beach before!). Address: 100 Goldenwest St. Huntington Beach, CA 92648
