Morton Avenue Dog Park
Free, volunteer-run neighborhood park with strong local roots
About this park
Morton Avenue Dog Park is a compact, free-to-use off-leash space run entirely by local volunteers. The ground is loose dirt and wood chips, which gets dusty when dogs run but drains reasonably well. Shaded benches, water, and toys are kept stocked by the same regulars who show up every weekend. Street parking is on-site, and an adjacent playground means the whole block sees activity.

Before you go
No entry fee, but the park runs on volunteer effort. Bring a water jug or pick up after other dogs if you can. Water availability is inconsistent; bringing your own is reliable.
