Freeplay, a group of dog owners, their friends and supporters, have been working to establish an off-leash  area for dogs and their guardians to enjoy together at Dockweiler State Beach in  Los Angeles County. Freeplay has previously been successful with the creation of the Westminister Dog Park in Venice. We are working strongly to gain more off-leash access for dogs and their guardians to recreate in Los Angeles County.

Freeplay was established on February 14, 1996 in response to the City of Los Angeles zero tolerance policy for off-leash dogs. This action left thousands of dog owners stranded with no legal areas to exercise and socialize their animals.

FREEPLAY is dedicated to protecting the right of recreation for tax payers and their dogs. We are committed to enriching the quality of community life through responsible pet care awareness and the establishment and maintenance of recreational areas where dogs and people can interact in a clean, safe, and pleasant environment.
