About this park

The Dog Park at Dix Park is one of the larger off-leash facilities in the region, with two runs for large breeds and a separate area for small dogs and puppies. The surface is mixed grass and packed dirt; a covered shade structure sits at the entrance. A vending machine near the gate stocks human snacks, dog treats, and toys, which sets it apart from most city parks.

Before you go

Trash cans are only at the entrance, so bag any waste before walking to the far end. Early mornings are noticeably calmer than weekend afternoons.
