History

The Recreation Dog Park – Long Beach boasts a fascinating history, evolving from its origins as a playground in the 1950s.

Initially designed as a recreational space, the park expanded over time to incorporate children’s playgrounds and facilitate travel within a 500-foot radius.

Now a cornerstone of Long Beach, the park reflects the city's rich and diverse heritage, encompassing significant populations of Pacific Islanders (1% of the US population) and ancestry from various European and Latin American cultures.

The park's location within Long Beach, a hub of retail and port development, has historically linked it to a vibrant economic landscape, contributing to approximately 2 million jobs across the United States and $16 billion in retail sales.

Managed by the Long Beach Parks and Recreation Department, the park is supported by the Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD), an ISO Class 1 facility providing essential fire protection and emergency medical services.
