It used to be better

This is a more of a social park for dog owners rather than dogs. Owners do not pay attention to thier dogs nor pick up after them. They don't care if dogs start to get to aggressive, nor do most people understand when a dog is just playing versus being aggressive. If you are trying to chase tail, while your dog is chasing tail then Silverlake maybe for you. Silverlake is a dog park for new yuppie dog owners, not for *real* dog owners. There has also been a trend of bringing lower class people to the park who are more aggressive then thier dogs. Watch out!!

While I used to go to this park everyday for at least 1 year, I now go to Griffith Park Dog Park because the people are there for the dogs.
