Paul Ruster Park
Two members-only fenced yards, an agility course, and trails that drop down to a fishing pond
About this park
An east-side Indy Parks property with two fenced dog yards (one with an agility course), a sledding hill, a stocked fishing pond, and wooded trails connecting it all. The dog park requires the standard Indy Parks annual pass, but the trails and pond are open to anyone on leash.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 585 Google reviewsReviewers love the variety: a real agility course inside the fenced yard, plus a forested trail loop and a pond that doesn't feel like a typical dog-park footprint. The sledding hill turning into a winter feature comes up often.

Before you go
The dog-park access requires an annual Indy Parks pass; there's no on-site day-pass kiosk, so out-of-town visitors should plan to use the leashed trails instead. The hilly trail loop has some grade, fine for most dogs but worth a walking stick if the ground is wet.
