Covell Dog Park
Tall-fenced, well-maintained park with a daily regular crowd
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.

Before you go
The fencing is notably tall, which helps with high-drive dogs. Come early in the day on hot weeks, the open layout heats up fast with limited shade. The entrance walk from the parking area is moderately steep.
