Dog Walkers in Echo Park (Enendale)

Welcome to Enendale!  You and your pup are about to have the pawfect day exploring the city streets side-by-side!  The neighborhood is centered around the aptly named Echo Lake located in Echo Park and extends a solid 2.4 square miles, boasting a diverse population. The city streets are well-maintained and the residents are quite charming and welcoming to visitors. Enendale has four smaller districts within it including Angelino Heights, Elysian Heights, Historic Filipinotown, and Victor Heights. You and our pup will pass by the post office on North Alvarado and the Rampart Police Station on W. 6th Street. Station 20 of the LA Fire Department is in this area as well, creating a safe and cozy section of Los Angeles for residents.

Los Angeles weather is typically warm and mild. With lots of sun and few instances of rain, the area is perfect for walking with your pup on any day. Just be sure to take lots of extra water to stay hydrated!

Enendale is mostly hilly and is well-known for its famous public stairways. There are over two-dozen of them in all. Some are just a few steps up while others boast more than 200 steps. Be sure you and your pup are up for the challenge as this area can be a little tricky for elderly dogs. The views will be well worth all those steps, however. The Baxter stairs, all 230 of them, are located across the street from Elysian Park and are the tallest in the city. The first stairways were originally made of wood and began springing up in the 1890s.  The stairways help residents and visitors traverse the hills and get around this beautiful city.  Make sure your shoelaces are tied tight and that your pup has had plenty of water and is ready to climb your way to the top!  It will be well worth the climb.

After climbing all those stairways and exploring the city, you and your pooch need a much-deserved timeout. Head to Elysian Park for a bit of a break. We guarantee that you will find the perfect spot to take a break within its 575 acres. Within that vast area, you and your pup will see well-maintained green spaces, trees, flora and fauna, small wildlife. After catching your breath and re-hydrating, you and your leashed pup can stroll past the Chavez Ravine Arbetoreum along the shade of the Avenue of the Palms. There are many more miles of walking trails and opportunities to experience wildlife and nature at your own pace. If you packed your lunch, put down your blanket, and share some grub with your furry friend. These areas are generally unfenced, so you'll want to keep your dog close to your side and be courteous to other area pedestrians.
