In Long Beach, there is a Dog Beach which is one mile long and dogs can play in the water and stuff. http://www.hautedogs.org/beach.htmlThere is also a great dog park in Redondo Beach on 190th St. east of PCH. It s closed on Wednesdays.You can take the dog up to Big Bear. You can also take dogs hiking at Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.
Wow, how long have you been here? There aren t any park forest places anywhere in LA. In case you hadn t noticed, LA is a desert. To have a forest, you need lots of trees, which require a considerable amount of rain. So no rain, no forests. If you drive up to Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear, you ll find some snow. Angeles Crest Highway is usually the closest area, but they had some landslides up there, and a lot of people who went up to see the snow were lucky to get out alive. I hear that their cars are still up there.Take the dogs up to Big Bear Lake. There is still snow up there.http://www.bigbear.com/childdogfriendly/
