Herman Franks Dog Park
Downtown-adjacent, regulars from dawn to dusk
About this park
The fenced off-leash run inside Herman Franks Park is one of central SLC's most reliable, drawing dogs from sunup past sundown with a regulars culture that makes it a near-guaranteed playmate stop. The surface is mostly gravel with a few agility features, and waste bags are stocked at the gate. Pad-sensitive dogs can wear out fast on the gravel, so most owners cap visits at thirty to forty-five minutes.
