Home Run Dog Park

This is my favorite dog park of all of Long Beach area. I travel out of the way to go here because it is just that good. I have never been to the park where dogs are not there and I usually go on weekdays. Also I have never seen any issues with aggressive dogs. Every dog is there to have a good time. My dogs love this place. The dogs get a great place to run and the water is always clean. Also the park provides poop backs and a poop piker upper. Love this place.

I have no problem with this park. This park it’s pretty great actually. It’s gated and the large/​small dogs are separated. But the most important thing is to always watch your dog. My pup has no problem with other dogs. He gets along with everyone and is a really friendly dog. But some dogs will get a little rough and owners will think that «it’s okay because they’re just playing.» It’s not okay when you hear your dog let out a squeal! Keep an eye on your dog and other dogs as well

I LOVE this dog park for my fur baby pug and so does she. Everyone is super friendly, theres ALWAYS dogs there so my pup can play, and theres poop bags and trash cans conveniently located on almost every corner, and access to fresh water for the dogs. I always bring a picnic blanket and a coffee and just hang out. I like how the park is split into small and large dogs to ensure safety. I cannot complain!

Been to different dog parks… This one is my favorite, nice people here (which is rare at a dog park) and I’ve only had good experiences, especially with my cattledog who isn’t the type to rough play with dogs unless he reallllly likes them ;) he loves to run & say hello though! Hehe.

Update: I wanted to add a star because I ended up taking my tiny boy and he LOVED it! I’ve taken him twice in the past week. The other owners all kept an eye on their dogs and all that I spoke to were exceptionally friendly.
I took my moms dog here yesterday, for the first time. I have a little yorkipoo that I is extra bossy. I like to check places out with my «fur brother» (a 1-​year-​old corgi/​spaniel mix) before I bring my boy to check out the environment. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so I was expecting it to be packed. Ideally I want a dog park to be lively, with many dogs for mine to interact with but not too packed. There was about 10 – 12 dogs there, which was perfect. I brought my elderly friend with dementia because she lights up when she sees pups. I was pleased to see there was plenty of shaded benches for her to relax on. All the other dog owners were very pleasant but weren’t the type eager to exchange numbers for doggie play dates (thank God!). The drinking stations were convenient, i felt my pup was secure (I was nervous at first because it’s so close to a busy street) and everyone picked up after their dogs (appreciated the poop bags available). The only reason I took one star off is because, aesthetically speaking, it’s unremarkable. Besides that, great park and can’t beat the price (free!).

Ok. So this is only the 2^nd time we’ve been to this park. Since El Dorado park started closing at 5:00pm today, I decided to see how far this place was. So I Unilocal’d and map’d it. It really isn’t that much farther to get here. The big plus is that it’s a really nice dog park with grass. We’ll be coming here more often for sure.

We live not too far from here so we come to this park 1 – 3 times a week. I usually go here when it’s not crowded because there’s always that one annoying dog that ruins it for us. My updated review is based on my last visit in the Small Dog section. When it comes to a dog park you will always have your regulars. A lot of them sit around, not really interacting with their dogs because they’re too immersed in their conversations. On my last visit, there was an older man who had two dogs and they decided to harass my dog. They kept barking at her at a close proximity and mouthed her body while she tried to ignore them and fetch for her ball. The owner told them to stop but he just sat there so it didn’t do much. The thing is, I remember this pair very well because this is the 2^nd time they’ve bothered us. The first time was much worse.
Sometimes, I don’t understand how people don’t feel the need to correct their dogs. Don’t they feel embarrassed when their dog is bothering another dog and it’s owner? If my dog did that, I’d redirect her or just leave if she’s causing problems. Some of these people will sit around; maybe say something to their dog, but won’t follow up. I’m assuming it’s because people don’t think small dogs can do much harm so they let them do what they please; *cough* small-​dog syndrome. I know that’s the risk I’m taking when I bring my dog to a dog park. Honestly, I LOVE this park, I just don’t love how some regulars handle situations. Actually, I believe I’m considered a regular HAHA but I go to this park to spend time with my dog, not so much for the people but it’s cool if I have a conversation.
Some tips: (1) Park is closed Mondays 7AM-​10AM for maintenance. (2) If your dog doesn’t like to be bothered or is learning to socialize you might want to go when it’s not peak hours which is around 4 PM to dusk. (3) Carry poop bags once you enter so you can pick up after your dog right away. Believe me, once you look away it’s hard to pin point where your dog did his business. (4) Caution when bringing puppies because there’s a chance the older dogs may bully or chase your puppy. You don’t want your pup’s first experience to be a bad one.
Normally, I would rate this park 5 stars. I’ve had more positive experiences than negative ones. I’ll just remember not to come when it’s crowded.

When you have a large dog that has to burn through her energy on 3 – 4 walks a day, places like Home Run are LIFESAVERS!
I have a very beautiful, very spoiled, high energy pitbull who llooovvveeeesss to just RUN. She’s my running partner for a reason, but some days when momma needs a break, I spoil her at the doggie park. I don’t take our chihuahua because it’s not her thing, she’s cool with her walks and running around Heartwell with Nala versus running around Home Run, separated from her sissy. Momma feels bad, so we don’t often do that. Anyhow, for Nala, Home Run is quite literally — a home run. I drove by frequently during construction a few years back, anxiously waiting for the opening. Once it finally came around, we took her and she’s been hooked ever since.
The park is located on the corner of Studebaker and Del Amo inside of Rynerson Park, near the baseball fields. There isn’t any parking lot, but plenty along the street. We usually go on weekdays at odd times because it tends to be less crowded. I personally prefer to take her when it’s less crowded just because of how much energy she has. Anyways, the park itself is separated into two gated off areas. One for little doggies and one for the big dogs. I really like this as some of the big dogs really are BIG (as in a Great Dane… no really), and the little ones could get trampled on accidentally. Some folks, like us, have two different sized breeds and they are separated. Which means we each take a dog and go into the respective «areas». The park itself has plenty of shade which is nice for those hot, sunny, summer days we get. But with no lights, and only being open from dawn to dusk makes it harder to take her after work in the fall/​winter :(
Both sections are very well maintained, and clean. There are doggie bags along the fence and trash cans to toss the used bags into. Which I think is awesome, because I’ve been to a few dog parks where owners forgot to be responsible and pick up after their dogs. Not cool because then you have to work to avoid the land mines. So I appreciate the extra amenity. During the busier hours, they have an attendant on hand to monitor the activity, making sure nobody lets their pups go cray cray. For the most part, the other pups and owners we’ve interacted with are super friendly, though some are also not. I also absolutely love that they had a water fountain for the pups, that is constantly draining meaning no stagnant water for them to drink! Plus, the areas are both extremely spacious with plenty of room for everyone to run around and explore.
This park has more rules and regulations compared to several of the others we’ve been to BUT they’re necessary. Spay/​neutered is required, licensed and current vaccines. I can see how untreated pups could pose a small problem, and nobody wants to add tension to what’s supposed to be a fun trip. It’s also a requirement to keep them leashed until inside. Also, please keep your dogs in the proper areas. Small dogs SHOULD NOT be in the large dog area. On my last trip, before we left, an irresponsible owner had their little friend in with the big fur babies. Peeps, rules are rules. Small (AND MEDIUM) dogs such as pugs, chihuahuas, yorkies (the pup that I saw.), mini poodles, corgis, toy dogs — NOT IN THE BIG DOG AREA. This was also confirmed by the city volunteer a few days back. Other than that, enjoy the spacious area littered with various tennis balls and hills for you and your furbaby to enjoy and spend some time making new friends (^_​^) I love Home Run and since it’s got a 5 paw rating from my girls, we will continue to go to this beautiful addition to Cerritos.

Awesome little dog park in Lakewood located off Del Almo and Studebaker. It’s a nice friendly park with poop bags and trash provided. The dog owners here are also friendly opening doors for me and my LO as they see us walking my little corgi towards the unleashing area.
There are two gated sides to the dog park. One for big doggies and one for little doggies and I guess the medium sized goes where they please lol. There is a water fountain for our Bae by the entrance gate bear the bench where we can sit and watch our Bae let loose.
There is just the right amount of grass as well as dirt. Tennis balls lying around for our Bae and other doggies to play with. Overall we would definitely be back since it’s close to home and the doggies and their mommies and daddies have been friendly so far.

This is my first time. So far so good.

Great dog park. Seriously needed near Cerritos.
The area:
— Split for small & large dogs.
— Large dog park is nice b/​c it’s large enough for the dogs to run (not as large as Arbor dog park (Seal Beach), with both patchy dirt areas & grass areas. I’d like to have a bit more grass though, so there’s less dust.
— Fresh water is provided for the dogs. It drains, so there’s never stagnant water.
— Trash cans are along the edge of the park so smell isn’t a problem when you’re sitting on a bench.
Parking:
— Street parking is easy to find along Studebaker. Entrance to both dog parks is on Studebaker, just south of Del Amo.

Great dog park! Just moved to the area and found this park on Unilocal.Very clean. Big space for large dogs and I love that it has sand and grass and so do the dogs! My dog Bravo had a blast playing fetch and making friends. One down side, which is in no way the park’s fault, is that some dog owner don’t watch over their dogs and/​or pick up after them. We saw two dogs poop and the owner was no where to be found. All and all a great place for your dog to run around and get some exercise in. Oh and more water stations would be great too!

Hello Unilocalers!
I recently visited this dog park with my dog Yoshi and boy did he have a blast. It was early Monday evening around 5:30pm. The park is split between large and small dogs. Small dogs I assume is less than 30lbs, but all these little dogs were less than 20lbs. The grass is lush and green, the gates are new and the entrances are sturdy. There’s no way a dog can escape out of this one! Water is provided for the dogs through a water dispense system. It looks very sanitary and requires little human maintenance. This was a great bark park for the dogs :)
Bark your way home!

Such a nice big dog park! It’s conveniently located near the 605 freeway and there are a bunch of parks near by if you want to in some exercise. There’s no parking lot but plenty of street parking. The street isn’t too busy so parking isn’t an issue.
It’s located next to the river bed. The park is divided for big dogs and small dogs. There are plenty of trees and benches so it’s a great place to go even if it’s super hot. There are gas patches and patches of soft dirt the dogs can enjoy exploring. Along the side of the park there are doggie bag stations and trash cans. The park is pretty well maintained and dog owners even pick up for other dogs.
The one complaint is the lack of parking lot. Also wish there was more grass then dirt, but then again, the dogs do love it.
All in all, this is a great place to bring your dogs. This is definitely one of the nicer parks in the area.

My dog loves it here !! Love this park!
Ps. People pay attention to your dog and pick up your dog’s poop! No one wants their dog eating other dog’s dog shit and then getting sick. Your dogs poop, is your poop! Thank u

Such a nice dog park! Fairly large and well taken care of. Plenty of street parking. I did however see some doggy doogie that owners didn’t bother to pick up -.- PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS. They have bags provided for owners to use. SO WHY NOT?!
But awesome place for our little one to socialize.

Love this park, I can’t believe it took so long for Lakewood to get a dog park. Large, clean and well taken care of. I like this one so much more than the ElDorado dog park. I think the small dog sections are similar but the larger dog sections aren’t even comparable.
Not related to this park but dog parks in general:
One thing I don’t understand about some people who bring their dogs to the dog park is why they bring them, take the dogs leash off, and then just don’t pay attention. There always seems to be one dog who is running around harassing every other dog, the other owners have to get the dog off of theirs constantly. This last visit everyone just keeps yelling, «whose dog is this?» It’s not a day care center for your dog, it’s a place where you can go to spend time with your dog and socialize with other dogs and dog owners. It really can ruin the experience for a lot of dogs and their owners who wanted to get out and enjoy an afternoon.

This place is so awesome! We had our first meet up with our schnauzer group with a mix of other dogs today and it was so awesome. There are two gate doors so it’s harder for them to run out. It’s spacious with plenty of shade too. There’s a section for big and small dogs. Highly recommend to bring your babies to a fun environment and meet other pet parents.

Yay for more dog parks! I have probably been to about ten or so now. I am happy to know that we have yet another one not too far away.
This park is about the same distance from my home as my other two favorite dog parks. Unfortunately none of those are very close, but it’s not too far for me to deal with it.
The grand opening was last weekend but we finally made our way down the week after. It is located inside Rynerson Park next to a baseball diamond. Bathrooms are nearby but unfortunately they are only open during baseball games. There are farther ones down if you cannot hold it.
There are separating sides for both big and small dogs, and the small side although smaller, (and it makes sense) it’s not a rinky dink size like some other parks. There is adequate room for them to run around and play in.
I also like that there are separating gates for each side, unlike El Dorado where you enter one mutual gate and then go into the separated side. That makes things quite difficult quite often. There are bag dispensers as well as containers to throw the bags in. There is a water fountain located inside for the pups. No bowls are provided, so bring your own if your pup will not drink out of the fountain.
There is one bench, but I am one that mostly stands and walks around with the pups. I sit enough at work. The area is quite shady while sunny and the weather was perfect when we went. I personally love that there is a requirement to have your pet spayed or neutered in order to go. I know people do not mean for trouble but more often than not I see issues with the dogs at parks when one is unaltered. It makes for some stressful visits.
This park has more rules than most, but that should help keep it a better place to enjoy. Two dog limit per guest, vaccinations required, license tags are required, you must hold the leash and have them leashed until you get inside, the list goes on. I have always done all that stuff anyways.
It is open from dawn to dusk so unfortunately there are no lights and it will still be impossible to enjoy my long dog park visits after work during these nasty early dark days, but it will be a nice alternative on weekends and on days that I can swing by.

We heard awhile back that this Dog Park was in the works near the baseball fields of Rynerson Park and it has since been open close to a week. We decided to head over and take a look at the park along with the demon pups and see what this park had to offer.
Home Run Park is divided between both a large dog and small dog side, both are entered through a front gate and then branch off inside. Each park has a bench for guests to sit on, a water fountain for the dogs, doggy bags (please make sure to pick up after your four legged friends) and plenty of room for your pups to run around and play. Although not evenly divided (the large dogs have significantly more room to roam free) they both offer a good size area.
Home Run Park has a plethora of rules & regulations that must be followed but each of the rules is something that really needs to be followed anyway. All dogs need to be spayed/​neutered, all dogs over 6 months MUST have their vaccinations up to date and all dogs must be officially licensed. All dogs are to also be kept on their leash until into the park area itself and there is a limit of 2 dogs per person. There was a volunteer at the gate answering questions and handing out brochures as we entered and they seem to monitor the park during peak hours.
Our visit was smooth and all of the owners and dogs on hand got along nicely and had a blast running, rolling around and playing with the assortment of tennis balls scattered across the field. The park is definitely a nice alternative for us to bring our pups going forward as it is always nice to have more options. Parking on the curb outside the park is the closest but a lot behind the baseball fields is also available if needed. Please not that the closest bathroom facility for the owners appears to be open only when the little league games are going on and is otherwise locked. More facilities can be found on the side of the main park with the walking trails but this is quite a distance away. A nice park that I can see us visiting many more times going forward.
