Almost none. Both enclosures are open ground, and on hot days dogs crowd under the single picnic table in the large yard. Regulars skip summer middays outright.

Is there a separate small-dog area?

Yes, its own fenced section, though it has no picnic table and reviewers keep asking for one.

How big is the main enclosure?

Roughly the footprint of a baseball field, a little smaller by one visitor's estimate, with room for a full sprint.

It was built on a landfill. Is that a concern?

Posted signs ban open flames because of methane from the reclamation underneath. Renaissance Dog Park otherwise reads as an ordinary fenced park, with a small restroom and concession stand nearby.

What else is at the park?

Disc golf, volleyball, a small skate park, ballfields, a manmade pond, and dirt-and-rock trails through tall grass and trees.

About this park

Renaissance Dog Park is a wide-open fenced run 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.

Renaissance Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Visitors 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.

The community

Weekend regulars at Renaissance 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.

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.
