Our Play Date is Saturday, September 10, Noon to 5 PM. We noticed an increase in attendance and have secured a Canopy for the Play area. We have also arranged for the Teeter Totter to be available to practice on. This will enable Pups and Critters to practice on the artificial turf under the Canopy for Puppy Palooza. Of course, there will be Ponies sharing the space during the 5 hours, and the Canopy will give more shade to everyone.

Puppy Palooza is Saturday September 17. We are so excited Pups and Critters from all over the US are attending! Super honored to have Pug, Sir Wombat, Lady Kasia as our Judges for this event!

Our Fall Fox Hunt is Saturday, October 1st. We will be at the Rose Valley Campground. We are looking forward to seeing how The Foxes navigate this area, as it is still pretty new and all the possibilities have not been fully explored.

Our space is in Tarzana, California. That is on the westside of the San Fernando Valley. The closest airport is Van Nuys Airport. The closest big Airport is Burbank Airport. Sometimes air fares to Burbank are more than LAX and sometimes they are less. Check it out. If you fly into LAX, you have a longer commute to the Valley than you do flying into Burbank. Does the Ground Transportation balance out the air fare?

I love the Pacific Sunsurfer Train that travels from San Diego up to Union Station Los Angeles. Given current gas prices you cannot beat this public transpiration rate. of $36.00 each way.

There is a FlyAway Bus from Union Bus Station or LAX to the Van Nuys Airport ($9.75/$19.50). You can then take a cab or Uber to us or your close hotel. You can also take a Flyaway Bus from LAX to Union Station.

There is Line 422 Bus that goes from Union Station to Tarzana ($1 – $3), then transfer to Line 240 Bus $2 – $4).  Or from Union Station take the B Line (Red) and then catch the Metro L Line (Orange) and exit at the Tampa station and only walk .4 miles. Metro train map

The closest within walking distance hotel is Tarzana Inn. It is clean, we found the front desk staff customer friendly, and it is affordable.

Restaurants close to the Tarzana Inn: Order Online You will find a Mediterranean option, Sushi, Fish Grill, There is also a Russian Market, Oliv’e Food Market, across the street which is amazing. Black Bear Restaurant has delivery. Restaurants with Delivery near Tarzana Inn.
