Renaissance Dog Park
Wide-open fenced run inside a reclaimed-landfill park
About this park
A wide-open fenced dog park built on a former landfill reclamation site at Renaissance Park, with a large main enclosure and a separate small-dog fenced area. The park is notably shade-free, and reviewers repeatedly flag this as the biggest drawback, with dogs crowding under the single picnic table in hot weather. Amenities include water, a picnic table in the large area, restrooms nearby, and plenty of trash cans; the surrounding park offers disc golf, volleyball, and wooded trails for post-play exploration.
Amenities
What visitors say
Synthesized from 102 Google reviewsVisitors consistently praise the size of the main enclosure (roughly the footprint of a baseball field) and the respectful, well-behaved crowd of owners and dogs. The wider Renaissance Park amenities (disc golf, volleyball, paved paths, a manmade pond) make it easy to stack a walk onto the visit.
Weekend regulars describe a calm, friendly scene with responsible owners and well-matched dogs, and the park occasionally hosts community events like corgi races that draw a bigger crowd. Fall through spring is the clear sweet spot; summer midday thins the regulars out.
Best for
Before you go
Avoid midday visits in summer: the large enclosure has virtually no shade and the heat becomes uncomfortable for dogs quickly. Fall through spring is when regulars say this park is at its best. Bring a spray bottle or travel water bowl to keep your dog cool.
