About this park

A quieter Northside neighborhood dog park with two fenced pens, community-maintained by the neighbors who use it. The field itself is decent and the atmosphere friendly, though the infrastructure shows its age and isn't actively managed by the city.

The highlights

Regulars describe it as a hidden gem that rarely gets crowded, with welcoming neighbors and a laid-back feel that suits anxious or reactive dogs.

The community

A small, tight community of neighborhood owners who keep the park running. The upside is the friendly intros; the downside is that upkeep depends entirely on volunteers.

Before you go

Bring your own water; the rain barrel on site is often empty or unusable. Check the perimeter fence for gaps before letting small dogs off-leash; terriers have been known to fit through.
