Mark your calendar for the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the Noble Park Dog Parks. The event will be Tuesday, May 14 at 1:30 p.m. The new parks are located adjacent to the Anna Baumer Building and Shelter 17 behind the amphitheatre. The dog parks are open seven days a week from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. in the summer season (April – October). The dog parks are similar in size to the existing ones at Stuart Nelson Park and include a new access road, water fountains, fencing with vestibule entries, shelters, lighting, pet waste receptacles, and paved accessible parking areas. Portable restrooms are onsite.

The small enclosure will not open until later this year while grass is being established. The large enclosure is temporarily separated into two spaces to provide space for large breeds and small breeds during this transition.

The Stuart Nelson Dog Parks will close in the near future to prepare for the construction of the Paducah Sports Park.

Let’s work together to keep our dogs healthy. Dog Parks are great places for socialization but also can be breeding areas for canine communicable diseases like Kennel Cough. Kennel Cough is a highly contagious respiratory illness. Symptoms include a strong cough, runny nose, sneezing, low fever, loss of appetite, and lethargy. If your dog is showing symptoms, please avoid dog-friendly areas. If you plan to visit a dog park or other areas where dogs congregate, we encourage talking to your veterinarian about recommended vaccines including a Kennel Cough vaccine.
