L.A. Live Large Dogs Park

Address: 1005 Chick Hearn Ct, Los Angeles, CA 90015

Wood chips cover the ground at this compact downtown Los Angeles off-leash park, which has separate areas for small and large dogs, water fountains, benches, waste bags, and fencing. There's no grass and shade is minimal, so midday visits in summer can be uncomfortable. Street parking is the only option, and the park sits close to freeway overpasses, which some visitors find noisy.
