Ogden Park
A fenced run off a two-mile loop past a turtle pond
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.
