Molenaar Dog Park
Double-fenced yards, with the trash cans outside
About this park
A two-yard dog park on Maple Grove Road with separate large-dog and small-dog sides, each ringed by a second fence outside the first. The large yard has real room to run. Waste bags and the only trash can sit outside the fence line, which turns a mid-visit cleanup into a walk back to the gate.

Molenaar Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayThe second perimeter fence is the standout and the reason owners of escape artists pick this one. Both yards read as well kept, and the large side is roomy enough that a dog can work the entire fence line before losing interest.
Low traffic. Reviewers describe arriving to an empty park on weekday mornings and meeting a friendly handful the rest of the time.

Before you go
Grab a waste bag on the way in, because the bags and the trash can are both outside the fence. Weekday mornings are usually empty if you want the place to yourself.
Frequently asked
- Is there a separate small-dog area?
- Yes. The park splits into a larger yard for confident dogs and a smaller one for bashful dogs.
- How secure is the fencing?
- Two fences, one inside the other, around the yards. It is the most containment of any dog park on this side of Boise.
- Are waste bags provided?
- Yes, but outside the fence. Take one on your way in rather than mid-visit.
- Is there water on site?
- Reviews do not mention a water station, so bring your own.
- When is it quietest?
- Weekday mornings. Reviewers repeatedly describe an empty park before ten.
