This park is more of a open space than a park. It is hidden away 10 acre gem that is sort of hard to find. All the locals that live in front of this park walk their dogs here and want it kept a secret. Why? Because it is one of the largest and best dog parks in the area. Most local people run their dogs off leash here since it is not crowded and not patrolled. Also, it is totally fenced in and has water and dog bags at the Avalon entrance. Plus, there are two parking areas for park users. The main entrance is on Avalon and the second and smaller one is on Herone Pointe off of Seal Beach Blvd. This park has a old closed main road that cuts through it at the base and many nice trails that are branching on the above sloping hill. Tons of wildlife here. This park has many active hawk and owl nests in the trees and tons of wildflowers in the spring after the rains. Also, you can hike the Hellman Trail which dead ends about a quarter mile north. It is right at the entrance to the park. I take my dog to Gum Grove since there are few people/dogs and nobody bugs us like they do at Arbor. For good photos of this park check out the Google Map site.
