The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Irvine

South Irvine

The main attraction in South Irvine, California is the Shady Canyon Trail Loop. This 4-mile multi-use trail is the pawfect place for you and your pooch to take a nice scenic stroll. You’ll want to bring your camera along, since this trail offers some of the most gorgeous views in Irvine. Keep in mind that parts of this trail are asphalt. If the asphalt is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for Fido’s paws! The end of the trail will take you to Newport Beach. Grab some water and Fido’s leash and lace up your best hiking boots and embark on what’s sure to be an unforgettable adventure!

Sunnyhill

Sunnyhill is certainly the place to be if you and your pup are avid hikers. The Sunnyhill neighborhood is home to the Turtle Rock Trail, which is 5 miles from central Irvine. Make sure to keep your pooch on a leash throughout your hike. This multi-use trail also boasts spectacular views of the city. Concrete is the main material of this trail, so be careful if you’re visiting on a hot day. Thankfully, this trail is a fairly easy one to hike, which makes it pawfect for even beginners and those looking for a short, leisurely stroll in nature. Look out for bikers and skaters, since this trail is also open to them. You can access the trail at several locations, including the community park at Sunnyside Drive. Grab some water and head out for an adventure on this trail.

Oak Canyon

There are quite a few dog lovers in this neighborhood. The main Fido-friendly attraction in this community is the Central Bark Dog Park. This off-leash dog park is located a little over 4 miles from central Irvine and is a favorite among the locals who live here. This park is large and very well-maintained, so make sure you leave it as clean as you found it by picking up after your dog! Another great perk is that there are water fountains for your pooch to drink from, so you won’t have to worry about bringing your own. Your pup will have a paw-tastic time in this park exploring, sniffing out his new surroundings, and maybe even making a fur friend or two in the process.

Marine Way

This neighborhood is a place where many dog lovers flock with their pooches. One of the main reasons for this is the Orange County Great Park. This on-leash dog park is located about 9 miles from Irvine, California and it is spacious and well-maintained. Waste baggies are provided so you can clean up after your dog. Be sure to use them! No one likes a litterbug. A really neat feature of this park is the park’s hot air balloon! The Great Park Balloon will take you 400 ft high, offering you breathtaking views of the city. The best part? Your pup can tag along for the ride! Hope Fido isn’t afraid of heights!

Central Irvine

Need a place to stay during your visit in Irvine? Central Irvine is where you want to be! The neighborhood is home to several pet-friendly hotels and property. The La Quinta Inn & Suites Irvine spectrum won’t charge you a cent to let your furry friend(s) stay with you. If you’re looking for something a little more upscale, head to Hotel Irvine. However, be mindful that this hotel only allows small dogs under 50 lbs. You’ll have to pay a fee of $50 per dog per night, and you aren’t allowed to leave Fido unattended. There are several AirBnB rentals in the area as well.
