Boneyard Dog Park — Attraction in Culver City

I recently started taking my puppy to Bone Dog Park in Culver City, and it has quickly become one of our favorite spots. The park, while being primarily dirt with no grass, offers an excellent environment for dogs to run around, play, and socialize with others. Despite its lack of grass, which does result in my dog getting quite dirty, the benefits of this park far outweigh the minor inconvenience of a necessary bath afterward.

Atmosphere and Environment: Bone Dog Park provides a spacious area for dogs to play freely and interact with one another. The open space is ideal for dogs who need to burn off energy and enjoy some off-leash time. The lack of grass does mean that it can get a bit dusty, especially during dry weather, but the park's overall atmosphere is lively and welcoming. The dirt doesn't seem to bother the dogs at all; in fact, they seem to love it, as evidenced by my puppy's enthusiasm every time we visit.

Socialization and Exercise: One of the standout features of Bone Dog Park is the opportunity for dogs to socialize. My puppy loves to play and run around with the other dogs, and it’s clear that she thoroughly enjoys her time here. The social interaction with other dogs is fantastic for her development, and she often makes new friends each visit. The exercise she gets from running around the park is also invaluable. She comes home tired and happy, which is a huge plus. Most of the time, she falls asleep as soon as we get back because she's so worn out from all the fun.

Maintenance and Cleanliness: While the park is primarily dirt, it is well-maintained. Regular visitors seem to be diligent about cleaning up after their pets, which helps keep the park clean and enjoyable for everyone. The park's layout is straightforward, making it easy to keep an eye on your dog even when they’re off exploring. It's worth noting that, because of the dirt, dogs can get quite dirty, but that's a small price to pay for the enjoyment and exercise they receive.

Community and Safety: The community of dog owners who frequent Bone Dog Park is friendly and responsible. It’s great to see so many people who are attentive to their pets and ensure a safe and fun environment for all dogs. There is a sense of camaraderie among the park's regulars, and it's a wonderful place to meet fellow dog lovers. The park's fencing is secure, providing peace of mind that dogs can play safely off-leash without the risk of running off.

Overall Experience: In conclusion, Bone Dog Park in Culver City is a fantastic spot for dog owners looking to give their pets a place to exercise, socialize, and have a great time. While the park's dirt surface means a bit of extra cleanup at home, the joy and tired satisfaction my puppy experiences after a visit make it more than worth it. If you’re in the Culver City area and looking for a dog park that offers plenty of space and a friendly community, Bone Dog Park is definitely...

Compared to other dog parks and the other general parks located within Culver City, this dog park needs a lot more attention.

It is an expansive park that needs better subdivisions. There is a small area to the left for small dogs and an expansive area in the back for larger dogs. THE PROBLEM is that many of the larger dogs are aggressive. They wait for dogs at the door of the park, and most of the dog owners do not stop them from aggressively approaching other dogs. As a result most people that have older, handicapped, or shy dogs are forced to leave the park or allow their dogs to be bullied by aggressive dogs.

The expansive dirt area can be divided into two more sections to avoid these problems. If divided in half, one side can be for the more active, aggressive breeds that like rough tumbling, and the other side can be made for calmer, handicapped, or older dogs that just want to play with their owners or stretch out.

Yes, it has shade, but for the size of the park, it only covers less than 10% of the area. On a hot day, the dogs burn their feet quickly and show signs of heat exhaustion in less than 10 minutes. More trees are needed, especially in the center of the park.

The dirt is so dry that when a dog urinates, the dirt can not soak it up. If your dog plays on the dirt, they will most likely smell like urine. With the large number of dogs that reside in Culver City, there is no reason why Culver City can not show some compassion for these dogs either by covering the dog park with grass or by covering the dog park with pebbles or mulch.

Yes, there is a water fountain, yet it looks so uncared for that even some of the dogs do not want to drink from it.

The set up of the park shows the city really does not care for dogs. On all of the garbage cans, you see "no dogs in Culver City" signs. This is so insulting. I don't know why dog lovers in Culver City have not yet united to stand up for more respect for their dogs. They are...

Nice park. Shady and off busy streets. Like everyone said, it’s dusty with wood chips, so take your pooch before giving him a bath.

Real complaint is lack of enforcement for unaltered dogs. We have taken our big dog several times. He is a big goofball who runs, plays, and socialized with other big dogs. However a couple of times people brought their un-neutered male. The unaltered males tried to hump my dog. He is super chill but this is the only issue that sets him off (would me too). First time or two, he brushes it off and we pull him to another side of the park. Then the other dog comes back to try again. And he goes after him. Asked the owner if he was “fixed” and got a no. Yelled at her and left.

Park rules are altered animals only registered in Cukver City. CC only licenses altered animals. No enforcement. Not happy with lack of management by the city and owners bringing high hormone or dogs who...
