We highly recommend a book called
"City
Dog: Los Angeles: Orange County, Ventura County
and Santa Barbara" which
you can find on Amazon.

Dog Parks around Los Angeles:
Please note, not all dogs
should go to a dog park as dog parks can cause a number of behavior
issues.
These issues may not show up at the dog park but can manifest in
other areas of the dog's life. If you
begin to see behavior changes in your dog, typically leash
aggression, after spending a lot of time at a
dog park it is recommended that you refrain from taking your dog
there and possibly seek the services
of a qualified trainer to help resolve those issues. In
addition, many people take their dogs to dog parks
to socialize them. This is great except in cases where the dog
has an issue already. In that case
they are using your dog to socialize theirs and your dog could be at
risk. A dog park is not the place to
socialize a dog with existing issues. It is also recommended
that if you go to a dog park regularly that
you be equipped with something called Direct Stop® or Spray
Shield®. This is a citronella spray in a
canister. It sprays 8'-10' and will stop many dog
fights. Use as directed.
