Off-Leash Play for your Pup!

Playtime With Your Pup

While most trails and parks are open to you and your canine companions, sometimes it’s nice to have some space for them to run around off the leash. Visit our dog parks to keep your pup active and social! 

Dog Park Policies:

  • Entry into a dog park is at your own risk.
  • Keep dogs leashed until inside the fence. Dogs entering must be on 6-ft maximum leash.
  • Watch your dog. Dogs must be under voice command of an adult at all times.
  • Be considerate of others. Clean up after yourself and your pet.
  • Stick with your size. Small dog area is for dogs weighing less than 22 pounds.
  • Fill all holes. Replace dirt dug up by your dog.
  • No food or chew treats. Dog and people food can cause dogs to act unexpectedly.
  • No female dogs in heat. Watch un-neutered males closely for bad behavior.
  • No aggressive dogs. Remove dog at first sign of aggression.
