The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in La Jolla

La Jolla Village

Not to be confused with the Village of La Jolla, these neighborhoods are miles from one another and totally different. Like Village of La Jolla, however, La Jolla Village has lots to offer! Villa La Jolla Park is an open space perfect for walking your dog or exercising yourself. There’s a small playground and plenty of open space that’s just great for doing laps around. You can also enjoy the nearby Cliffridge Park, which features walking trails and gentle, landscaped hills. No matter which park you choose, you’re likely to find yourself amid crowds of La Jolla residents in this residential neighborhood.

Village of La Jolla

Start your day in the Village of La Jolla neighborhood with breakfast at Harry’s Coffee Shop. They offer outdoor seating, and complimentary treats and water for man’s best friend. After that, head over to Cuvier Park for a walk on the beach, as long as your pup stays on leash! Then go north to Ellen Browning Scripps Park for a more family oriented park experience, complete with benches, picnic areas, and BBQ spots! This is another leashed park, but the atmosphere is more people-oriented. It’s great for social dogs who love to people watch, or when you’re trying to find a park to please the whole family.

La Jolla Shores

You can’t get away from the ocean in La Jolla, and it’s one of the best parts of the city! La Jolla Shores is a neighborhood littered with beach front property and protected beach land. La Jolla Shores Park in La Jolla Shores is your best bet for great beach views in a dog-friendly environment. Here, you can enjoy fantastic views of the sand and waves from a slightly elevated position. There are walking paths and grassy open spaces.

Country Club

This park is 42-acres of untouched natural beauty. Just make sure that your dog stays on leash inside the park, so it stays untouched! Also be sure to pack everything you need for a hike. Though the park is mostly a choose your own difficulty climb, with plenty of places to stop whenever you’d like to rest, it will be a lot tougher without water!

Lower Hermosa

In a bustling city like La Jolla, it can be tough to get away from crowds. If you’re looking for a quiet place to walk your dog, enjoy ocean views, and hope to run into less foot traffic, you’re looking for La Jolla Hermosa Park.
