Being on a leash can’t be any fun. The minute your dog finds anything interesting, he’s pulled over to the next stop. When he encounters another dog on the street, there’s barely time for an introductory sniff before the meeting is over.

Paws In the Park, Pasadena’s Dog Park, gives Fido a chance to run free and play with his buddies in their nearly two acres. He can even swim in the dog swimming pool. Worried about him throwing his weight around? There are separate areas for large and small dogs. Be sure to clean up after your dog at the designated dog waste stations. There are also two pavilions, benches, and several obstacles.

The park is open all week, from sunrise to sunset. Check the website for Pasadena Dog Park rules.
