What to expect
The dog park combines grass and dirt surfaces with room for off-leash exercise. Benches and picnic tables give handlers places to sit, and the surrounding College Park includes restrooms, a playground and additional picnic space.
Shade and turf condition can vary by section and season. Check the ground temperature, water source and posted maintenance notices when you arrive.
Rules and safety
Use the section appropriate for your dog, supervise play and remove waste. Close both gates behind you and leash your dog outside the designated enclosure. Follow all posted city rules and leave if another dog’s behavior makes the visit unsafe.
Annual turf work can temporarily close the dog park during April and November. Confirm current access on the official College Park/Pooch Park page before visiting during those months.
