Moraga Dogs

Welcome to Rancho Laguna Park in Moraga, one of the best examples of what a multi-use park can be. Thanks to the hard work of many citizens, and with the approval of our Town Council, responsible dog owners have been allowed a place to exercise their dogs for over thirty years. The struggle to keep this park open to all, fenced only by time, has been successful because of people acting responsibly with their dog(s). Please help us keep this park as it is!

Please review the “NEW DOGS” and “P_etiquette” pages so that you too can help keep this the best place to bring your dog off leash. This is about people, sharing a place with other people who responsibly love thier dogs. Warning!! This kind of fun can become addictive.

Allowing your dog a time and a place to play freely with other dogs is healthy, and creates a well balanced dog, when started early in your dogs life. According to the San Francisco SPCA‘s official position paper titled “Off-leash areas are essential to the well-being of dogs”. ... “Regular off-leash play makes for healthy well-adjusted dogs. It burns off pent-up energy, builds confidence, improves a dog’s social skills and helps prevent aggression. Conversely, limiting dog play results in under-socialized, under-exercised, under-stimulated dogs and often leads to behavior problems.” Rancho Laguna is 8.4 acres large. For dog owners this makes it a great place to bring your well socialized dog. Remember to bring a bag or two for picking up doggy’s poo.

Per Moraga Ordinance 225 dated September, 9, 2009. Effective October 9th 2009.
