If you own a dog, you’ve already got the perfect date lined up. Add a beautiful city like Los Angeles into the mix, and you’ve got an entire day’s worth of scenic destinations to make for the best date ever. Here, we’ll walk you through 6 LA dog date destinations for you and your pup to enjoy!
Six LA Dog Date Destinations
1. Urban Light
Start your doggie date off by the La Brea tar pits and treat yourself to a fruit cup, which you can often find being sold at the entrance to the park. Enjoy the rolling green lawn overlooking one of Los Angeles’ most interesting natural artifacts. Be sure to keep your pup on a leash, as there are often lots of squirrels and families (and tar) at this historic destination. Take a short stroll through the park over to LACMA, where you can enjoy the outdoor artwork, including the oft-photographed Urban Light Installation, which is celebrating its tenth year at LACMA. Snap a memorable picture and enjoy the beautiful work of Chris Burden’s iconic piece.
2. Sullivan Canyon Trail
For those looking forward to an outdoor date with their doggo, we recommend you visit one of the many dog-friendly trails around Los Angeles, including Sullivan Canyon, which is one of our favorites! You’ll take in some of the most beautiful landscapes Los Angeles has to offer and meet other doggie owners along the way.
3. Grab a beverage
Want to enjoy an espresso drink without the draining small talk of a first date? Check out one of these dog-friendly coffee shops in Los Angeles! If cocktails are more your style, there are also plenty of dog-friendly bars.
4. Leo Carillo State Park
What’s better than watching the sunset on the beach? Literally nothing. While most beaches in LA don’t allow four-legged dates, this Malibu beach is dog-friendly and will set a beautiful backdrop for your date night. Be sure to get there early enough to enjoy all the sunset magic!
5. Morrison Pub
This Atwater Village restaurant has its own doggie dinner menu, making it a staple in your Los Angeles-inspired date night. After dinner, take a short drive up to Griffith Observatory, where you and your dog can enjoy the breathtaking city lights from the grassy outdoor lawn.
6. Echo Park Lake

Make it a picnic for two at this landmark destination near Downtown LA. You and your pup can enjoy a stroll around the lake, snooze on the green, and enjoy the weather. Then, watch the sky turn into a beautiful menagerie of color at sunset before you embark for dinner. You’ll turn heads as you radiate the love that only a dog and their hooman can have.
