About this park

Ogden Park is a large county park with a fenced off-leash dog zone and a winding two-mile paved trail that passes a pond where the turtles swim right up to the edge. The grounds also pack in soccer and football fields, a skate park, and varied playgrounds, yet the wooded stretches still feel secluded. Reviewers note it stays decently busy without ever feeling crowded.

Before you go

The dog zone is one piece of a much bigger park, so use the trail map at the lot to find it rather than wandering the soccer fields.

Frequently asked

Is there an off-leash dog park?
Yes. A fenced off-leash zone sits inside the larger county park, described by one reviewer as decently sized and clean.
How long is the walking trail?
The paved trail winds roughly two miles through the grounds, passing a pond and wooded stretches that feel more secluded than the location suggests.
Is it crowded?

What else is on the grounds at Ogden Park?
Soccer and football fields, a skate park, several playgrounds, and a pond where the turtles come right to the bank.
