Is it open to the public?

No. McPaw runs on annual membership, and entry is by key fob rather than walk-in.

What does membership cost?

Membership runs $65 a year and covers up to three dogs.

What is needed to join?

The city checks vaccine records before issuing a key fob, so shots need to be current and documented.

Is there a small-dog area?

Yes, a dedicated small-dog section, one of several fenced zones that each have their own drinking station.

Can dogs get wet here?

A mini pond and water sprayers sit inside the fenced zones, and a wash-off station on site handles the muddy exit.

About this park

McPaw is a members-only fenced park split into several sections, with a play structure, a mini pond, water sprayers, a dedicated small-dog area, and drinking stations in each zone. Membership runs $65 a year for up to three dogs, and the city checks vaccine records and issues key fobs for entry, which keeps the grounds clean and the crowd accountable. A dog wash-off station sits on site for the muddy exits.

Few Lafayette parks pack in a pond, sprayers, a play structure, a small-dog yard, and a wash station, and McPaw's vaccine-and-fob system keeps it noticeably clean.

The community

Owners are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, the kind of vetted, dues-paying regulars who keep an eye on their dogs.

Before you go

Sign up and clear vaccine records ahead of time; entry runs on key fobs, not walk-ins. Use the on-site wash-off station before loading a wet dog into the car.
