History

Downtown Dog Park, located within Lincoln Park in Long Beach, California, offers a unique space for dog owners to connect with a history deeply intertwined with the city’s past.

Originally conceived as a recreational area, the park’s development was significantly impacted by the 2004 Republican National Convention protests, which unfolded nearby.

The park’s location at Lincoln Park played a pivotal role in the events surrounding those protests, leading to legal challenges and arrests.

More recently, the Downtown Dog Park has evolved, incorporating elements inspired by New York City, earning the nickname “Best of New York” due to its design.

This reflects a conscious effort to create a distinctive and engaging environment for dog owners and their furry friends.

The park's proximity to Pier 57, formerly a passenger ship terminal, and the ongoing development of Pier 76 further contribute to its location’s rich history and evolving recreational landscape.

Dog owners can enjoy the park alongside opportunities for fishing and boating offered by the Village Community Boathouse.

The park continues to be a valued community asset, offering a blend of recreational space and a connection to Long Beach's diverse and sometimes turbulent past.
