The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Ladera Ranch

North Laguna Niguel

Bordering with Aliso Viejo to the north, most of Laguna Niguel is occupied by the extensive area of Laguna Niguel Regional Park. This park provides visitors with plenty of space to find a retreat or spend a weekend with the family. The alluring banks of the Sulphur Creek Reservoir are the perfect place to enjoy some outdoor activity. The park is totally dog-friendly, so feel free to put your pup on their leash and explore miles of walking trails, sandy and green paths to the water, and lots of shaded places to exercise or just relax and unwind. This is a perfect spot for those who love fishing! Two dog-friendly eateries are located right across the street from the northern part of the park, near Aliso Village Shopping Center. These include Jersey Mike’s Subs and Avila’s El Ranchito.

Downtown Laguna Niguel

Downtown Laguna Niguel will welcome you and your pup with busy roads and loud traffic coupled with a few recreation areas to find some peace and stay calm and cool on hot days. Crown Valley Park, which is maintained by Laguna Niguel Parks and Recreation, is a dog-friendly place to visit with Fido. Apart from the vast area of the main park, the on-site Niguel Botanical Preserve offers more than 18 acres of free space and walking trails to explore! Your pup should be leashed at all times and keep to the walking paths. Pigging out with your pooch is always fun, especially at places with an upbeat and friendly atmosphere like Bistro K. This fur-friendly eatery serves up Italian cuisine to pups and their parents at the outdoor tables.

West Laguna Niguel

The western part of Laguna Niguel is a heaven for outdoor activity lovers and adventure seekers. Apart from public parks, the area has a hot spot for pups to chill and socialize with others! Laguna Niguel Dog Park is set close to Street of the Golden Lantern and next to Orange County Fire Station. This is a simple facility for pooches to play and run off-leash, enjoying the intoxicating freedom of a good run! Taking some drinking water with you will be a good idea; otherwise, your mutt will end up thirsty. Another cool place to explore with a leashed pup is Salt Creek Trail, adjacent to Park Vista Overlook and Chapparosa Park. The trail stretches for about 5 miles from Laguna Niguel Regional Park to Salt Creek Beach Park in Dana Point.

Laguna Canyon Road North

Taking its roots in the city center, Laguna Canyon Road follows along the border of an extensive recreation area. Along the drive, you'll see public parks, fields, and other places for outdoor activities with furry friends. On your way north to Lake Forest or Irvin, make sure to stop by Laguna Beach Dog Park, the best place for pooches in the area to exercise and socialize with some new friends! The park is a simple, fenced facility with plenty of room to run, and is open daily from dawn to dusk except on Wednesdays. The rules in the park are simple: your mutt is allowed to have as much off-leash fun as he wants within the dog park, but keep him on the leash when entering and exiting the park. Bringing your own water will be a good call.

Oak Creek

Oak Creek is a large neighborhood in Irvine featuring a few public parks, a golf course and a section of San Diego Creek. You won't be able to resist the allure of Irvine Central Bark Park! (And why would you want to?) Hidden behind the vast area of Oak Creek Golf Club, this doggie heaven has two separate area for small and large pooches, some shaded spots, plenty of room to run, and drinking water facilities! The place is usually packed on weekends and late evenings. If you have been looking for the best place for your mutt to socialize, look no further!
