Oberrieder Dog Park

This happened in July of 2014: Great park, nice dogs, peaceful… until Mr. P showed up with his 80 lb. shepherd/​Rhodesian ridgeback mix Eli, who immediately attacked my 60 lb. Dalmatian/​pointer mix so viciously my dog ended up in surgery 90 minutes later. Fortunately, Mr. P paid the entire $ 600+ bill that evening. I filed a report with LA Animal Control. I hope this man and his dogs stay away from ALL dog parks — according to Mr. P himself, Eli has been in fights before. FOR GOD’S SAKE, MAN, don’t go to the dog park any more! People at the Playa Vista dog park, you have been warned.

This is a nice, clean park for pooches! My BFF & I bring our dogs together & separately for them to play with other dogs. The park is split… east side for small dogs, west side for larger (& more aggressive) dogs. For the most part, all of the dogs that come are calm & playful.

I only have Culver City Boneyard and Westminster Dog Park to compare to but this one knocks them out of the (dog) park! It’s big, with areas for both large and small dogs. Parking is plentiful. It’s usually filled with a variety of breeds. Soft wood-​chipped ground and a doggie water fountain with bags for doo doo. Other dog-​owners have been welcoming and the neighborhood is pretty and safe.

What a great dog park! It’s not huge but it’s also not tiny. I have a dog that’s about 20 lbs. so the size of this park was perfect for him! There’s a side for small dogs (under 25 lbs.) and a side for large dogs and both are filled with wood chips, not grass.
All of the owners here are very responsible. They watch over their dogs, play with them, give them water from the fountain when needed. It’s really nice. I didn’t feel nervous or worried with my dog running around with the other animals. My dog doesn’t really play and is more attracted to people than other animals, but he was running around with the other dogs for a bit which was awesome! There’s three benches and plenty of trees to keep you shaded.
There’s no parking lot but there’s plenty of space on the street. I pulled up and found a spot right away and there were plenty of other open spots as well. If you’ve been looking for a park to take your furry friend, definitely try this one out!

Decent size and clean. Others, people and dogs, at the park were nice. Separate areas for differently sized dogs. Quiet and located next to a green area.

It’s a pretty small dog park, but my girl always has a great time.
As long as it hasn’t rained recently it’s no trouble to brush off the dirt and wood chips.
Dog owners are attentive and responsible.
Small and large dog sections do not touch.

Dog park in the the new Playa Vista neighborhood. I like it because it’s very clean. They have wood chips which make it easier to pick up their p**p. Parking is easy and quiet neighborhood!

Who doesn’t open a dog park because of light frost on wood chips??? Dogs play and walk in cold weather all the time. Absolutely stupid!!! No ice, no snow, no rain… just a few chips with frost should never shut down a dog park. Get it together Playa Vista! While other cities across America have common sense today yours is lacking. And since dog poop doesn’t stop, guess my dogs will have to handle their business on frosty grass instead.

This is a great dog park. One of the primary reasons — it is chock-​full of responsible dog owners. People pay attention and work together to make sure the dogs are safe and have a great time. I’ve never encountered anyone at this dog park who was unreasonable or allowed their dog to terrorize others.
The separation of big and small dogs makes life simple. The big dog side can get rowdy sometimes, but 95% of it is playful fun. And there is plenty of space so that older dogs (or timid dogs) can be on the periphery or away from the fray. Most people are regulars and it gives dogs a great opportunity to socialize with all breeds and personalities.
The park has a dirt /​wood chip surface so expect your dog to come home dirty. But he/​she will also be happy and tired.
Finally, I see a comment below from Sue S regarding closures. This park is open roughly dawn to dusk every single day. I’ve been there 50 times and never found it locked as long as I get there before sunset. There are occasionally scheduled maintenance closures, which are clearly posted. The next one is the week of 11/​30/​2015, which is supposed to be a major upgrade.

It’s a nice little place with a good separation for small and large dogs. It also has a nice trail behind it with some exercise equipment. Overall it’s a nice little place.

Such a great dog park! Everyone who comes here is SOOO nice! There’s also a great farmer’s market on Wednesday evening and Saturday morning which makes every trip so much better!

I’ve been to this dog park twice. Both times the park was locked. There’s no indication of why the park was closed or when it will re-​open. There’s no telephone number to call to get information. This seems very inconsiderate of those who are in charge of the dog park.

Ok dog park behind the Runway at Playa Vista. There are many more dogs in the big dog park, not so many in the under 20 lb. park. At least there are some trees for shade and a number of benches. Ok for a short jaunt.

Lots of CLOSE parking at the perfect price… FREEE! lots of tree trunks for Buddy to mark his territory, clean play areas divided for your big or petite one with courtesy waste bags for you to pick up his/​her boo boo as the nice loving person you are. Small trail & a mini patio area for you to take em on a leashed stroll. Can’t complain, in a great area with pleasant dog owners with the breeze blowing thru your hair :) leave your kitty at home!

Nice park! Just like anywhere some of the dog owners are irresponsible, but overall it’s a well kept nice place. I wish it was a little larger like the bone yard but it’s close to my house. It’s also convenient that there’s a coffee shop really close by for chilly mornings! If it rains the night before they don’t unlock the gate on time though. Even if it’s not that flooded.

My favorite dog park in LA!!! There are 2 parks adjacent to each other for big and small dogs which is great for my little maltese. Both parks are not very big compare to other dog parks I’ve been to but they’re less crowded with nicer dogs. The location is great and the area very peaceful.

When it comes to dog parks, I defitnetly think that it the experience really depends on the other dogs and the other owners there as well.
With that being said, I am going to review the actual park itself, and the experience when going.
This dog park is so well kept up, it is situated below LMU, and has really pretty surroundings and just feels cleans. There is a big dog park and a little dog park, depending on dog’s weight. It is kept pretty clean, and there are doggy bags and trash cans just in case.
There is also a little water fountain for the dogs :)
I enjoyed the experience there, the owners and dogs were all pretty friendly. Parking is easy too, because people are consistently coming and leaving.
Def going back!

I’ve been coming here for quite some time now and I must say I have 0 complaints most of the owners that come through here are very nice and their dogs are very obedient if they aren’t the owners know how to keep them calm and respectful towards other dogs. I have not had any problems so far especially since I have a pitbull. So I give this park 5 stars :)
UPDATE: I dropped the stars down one for the «owner» wow. For an owner you sure know how to hold yourself up high. Not. I used to come here for a year, then the owner has the nerve to come at my fiancé, our dog, and I with such language. Lady. If you dont want problems learn to approach people with respect rather then talk shit behind a fence in front of your friends. Although I havent been there in a while I love the people and atmosphere.

Nice little dog park in a very nice neighborhood. There is plenty of parking nearby, a walking trail and park in the area as well. This park is divided into 2 separate areas, one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs which is cool.
I just wish it had more wood chips than dirt. For owners with white dogs such as myself, they get sooo dirty and a bath is much needed after a visit here. I think they should cover it with more wood chips soon. Other than that is nice little area for dogs to play, I’ll be bringing charlie again soon.

Good separation for big and small dogs but, small dog owners don’t really respect it.
UPSIDE:
Friendly and well socialized dogs
Responsible owners and friendly too
Easy street parking
Nice walk path in the back
Doggy bags are available
If it gets crowded you can go to long wood park around the corner.
DOWNSIDE:
Wood chips lots of it and it can get messy and dusty.
Not enough seating areas or shade.
Small dog owners don’t respect area for big dogs.
It can get crowded
