Bougie Santa Monica Dog Park Is So Impressive People Are Paying for a Membership To Get In

I am willing to bet that most of us have pretty similar dog parks in our areas. Some of them stand alone, but many of them are just fenced in areas in larger local parks. You can expect the same types of things in each one — a water fountain, maybe a tunnel to run through, a structure to climb, and of course, plenty of space for them to run around with their new friends. And hopefully, a shaded bench for their humans to sit and hang out while they do it.

Knowing this, it feels wrong to call the place featured in this TikTok video a dog park. More accurately, it's a dog country club, especially since those who go there must pay a membership to enter. This place is on another level...

Thanks to this video from @bailyrecordjehl , who does actually belong to this club, we get to take a peek inside this very bougie, members only dog park in Santa Monica, California.

At first glance, it's easy to tell that it's beautiful — everything from the landscaping to the bright green turf to all of those benches situated umbrellas makes it look so inviting for dogs and their humans.

And the features she shows off in just a 30 second video are seriously impressive — there are luxury style amenities for dogs including cold bandanas and water to cool down on hot days, along with amenities for human, like a bar so they can grab a drink while the dogs play.

Plus, there's a splash pad — what more could a pup want?

More About Dog Ppl

This magical place is called Dog Ppl , and it's actually branded as a "dog social club," not a dog park, for the record.

The perks about this place seem to be endless. They have a groomer on sight on the weekends that visitors can book an appointment with, and a full kitchen, bar, and café, along with wifi, to really make this place somewhere you could stay for awhile.

However, it's not easy to get in. Before you can be approved for a membership, you have to fill out an application, and you will need to verify that your dog is spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated. Dogs will also have to come in for a behavioral assessment to make sure they will not pose a risk to the other four-legged members of the club.

And the costs of belonging to a place like this are pretty steep. Just one dog will run you $1,200 annually, while the membership will cost $1,450 for two dog families and $1,700 for three dog families. That's not cheap, but it might be worth it if you're local and could see yourself spending a lot of time at a place like this — and it seems like a great way to meet new dog-loving friends.

It does look really cool...
