The Park is Back Open! Enjoy the grass and remember to scoop the p**p! Owners are legally responsible for any bodily injury and property damage.

Located in the 1300 block of Stockley Gardens, this 0.61 acre, fully-fenced city dog park functions as a "community center without the building".

Due to flooding, the park is CLOSED. We highly recommend only taking pups out for quick potty breaks until flood warnings are no longer in effect. Stay alert to any flash flooding in your area. We will post again once the park is safe to reopen.

The Park is out of bags at the moment, but never fear, more are on the way! Please keep a p**p bag from home with you in case your pup p**ps in the park to help keep it safe and clean!

You can even bring a used plastic grocery bag to pick up your dog's p**p.

REMEMBER keep an eye on your dog at all times and pick up all their p**p! This is super important during the summer as flies are more active because of the heat, and we don't want unwanted bugs, including maggots and gnats in the park. (And we don't want the smell either....)

Sound off the alarms! Get the Pups Ready! Because we are opening back up THIS SUNDAY!!!!

The grass is looking beautiful and strong, so we will be ready to open Sunday morning. Thank you for your patience as the grass grew and thank you too all those who helped us with watering these past few months!
