Valley Glen is a hidden gem in the San Fernando Valley, known for its wide, tree-lined streets and family-friendly atmosphere that makes dog walking a pleasure. While the neighborhood itself is a tranquil retreat, it offers immediate access to some of the Valley’s best dog amenities. Valley Glen Community Park (formerly Erwin Park) is a local favorite for morning jogs and evening strolls with leashed pets, offering green lawns and shaded pathways.
For off-leash adventures, residents are just minutes away from the Whitnall Off-Leash Dog Park, located under the power lines in North Hollywood. This convenient facility provides a safe, fenced environment for dogs to run and socialize. Valley Glen’s central location also puts you within a short drive of the massive Sepulveda Basin recreation area, giving you and your dog a variety of options ranging from quiet neighborhood walks to energetic play sessions.
