The El Segundo dog park is a long, narrow park that has plenty of room to throw balls with your Chuckit while watching jets take off and land at LAX. The quality of the El Segundo dog park has dwindled over the years. Upkeep has been lax (lax – LAX, hah!) so the grass has been chewed down to the rock underneath. My pitbull tends to tear up her paws pretty badly because she has no off switch, even when her feet are bleeding. Pitbulls were bred partly for their pain tolerance, and it can be difficult to check her feet when all she wants is to PLEASE THROW THE BALL AGAIN! My greyhound can lap the whole park in five seconds, but that has more to do with the fact she’s an ex-racing greyhound than the size of the park. Weekends are more busy than weekends, obviously, and your pooch doesn’t need to have an El Segundo dog license to enjoy the park. Clean up after your dog, and visit the doggie wash (whose name escapes me – review coming) just down the street afterwards.
