Summary
These parks will offer a variety of amenities to pet owners and their furry friends, including dog-friendly trails, play areas, and agility courses.
One of the most highly anticipated dog parks is the Rancho Cucamonga Dog Park, which is set to open in early 2022. This park will feature separate areas for small and large dogs, shade structures, water stations, and a dog wash area.
Another upcoming dog park is the Santa Ana River Trail Dog Park, which is currently in the planning stages. This park will be located next to the Santa Ana River Trail, making it an ideal spot for hikers and bikers to take their dogs for a break.
For those looking for a unique experience, the Boneyard Dog Park in Culver City is worth a visit. This park is built on the site of an old airplane hangar, and features airplane-themed agility equipment and a runway for dogs to run and play on.
Visitors to these dog parks can also enjoy the surrounding areas, which offer a variety of attractions and activities. For example, the Rancho Cucamonga Dog Park is located near the Victoria Gardens shopping center, which offers a wide range of shops and restaurants.
The best time of year to visit these dog parks will depend on the specific location and climate. Generally speaking, spring and fall are ideal times to visit California due to the mild temperatures and lower levels of tourism. However, visitors should also be aware of seasonal factors such as wildfires and mudslides, which can impact park accessibility and safety.

National Recreation Area
Areas set aside primarily for outdoor recreation (boating, hiking, fishing), often around reservoirs, rivers, or scenic landscapes; may allow more development.
