Covell Dog Park

About this park

Covell Dog Park is a tall-fenced, grass-and-dirt facility with separate large and small dog areas and a covered shelter with a sand surface underneath. The water spigot is technically outside the fence, but regulars have run a hose in. A few plastic pools appear in summer. The grounds are mostly open with limited trees, so dogs get full running room but little natural shade.

Frequently asked

How tall is the fencing?

Tall enough that one reviewer joked a dog would need a twelve-foot vertical to clear it. Owners of escape-prone dogs name the fence as the reason they drive here.

Is there drinking water inside the fence?

The spigot sits outside both enclosures, and regulars have run a hose through to solve that. Water bowls are provided and a few plastic pools turn up in summer.

What is the footing like?

Mostly grass giving way to dirt, with a sand pit under the awning structure and a pile of wood chips off to one side. One reviewer argues for mulch instead, citing muddy dogs after wet weather.

Is the walk in from parking difficult?

Two routes lead up to the gates: a short steep concrete pad, or a long winding accessible sidewalk.

Is there shade at Covell Dog Park?

Trees are sparse, so the covered shelter is the only reliable shade. That makes a midday visit in July a hard sell.
