LA's most popular off-leash hiking destination with panoramic Hollywood Hills views, two entrance points, and trails for all fitness levels.
🌟 Why Locals Go Here
It's the ultimate 'see and be seen' dog park. Incredible views, great exercise, and a social scene for dogs and humans alike.
What to Expect
Expect crowds, especially on weekend mornings. Bring water for yourself and your dog — there is limited shade. The views from the top are worth the climb.
💡 Good to Know Before You Go
No water fountains on trails. Dogs must be on-leash in the parking areas. The park can close during extreme heat or fire danger.
📍 Local Tip
Enter from the Mulholland side for a downhill experience and fewer crowds. Early mornings (before 8 AM) are the best time for peaceful hikes.
