Concord Dog Park
Shaded lake access with a diving pier and a wooded off-leash run
About this park
Concord Dog Park sits on a lake with a dedicated swim area, a ramp for water entry, and a pier that draws dogs willing to dive. The main off-leash field is large enough to keep sight lines open across the whole park, and a shaded walking trail runs along most of the perimeter. A separate small-dog area handles the size split, and there is a restroom on-site. The fence along the lake shore does not extend far into the water, which means confident escape artists can slip out through the dry lakebed when water levels are low.

Before you go
The drinking fountains are unreliable. Bring your own water. Dogs that bolt for open water should be watched carefully near the lake fence, which does not extend into low lakebed when water levels drop. The park is well-lit and safe for evening visits.
