Find the dog park entrance
Get directions to Dayland Dog Park. The dog park is near Smith Fields and the Draper City splash park. Follow signs from 300 East to the dog-park parking area, then keep your dog leashed until you are through the correct enclosure gate.
Water, paths and places to pause
The park’s varied terrain gives dogs space to run, climb and explore. A path loops through the fenced grounds, and benches and covered seating give handlers places to watch play. The natural water area can be a highlight for dogs that enjoy splashing, but it may also mean mud after wet weather.
Do not assume pond or creek water is safe to drink. Bring fresh water and a bowl, watch for posted water-quality notices, and rinse or dry your dog before the ride home when needed.
Rules before you enter
Draper requires dogs to be leashed while entering and exiting. An adult handler must remain present, keep dogs under voice control and supervise no more than three dogs. Clean up waste immediately. Dogs need a current city license and rabies vaccination.
Smoking and vaping are prohibited, as are wheeled items such as bicycles, scooters, strollers and wagons. Use the park at your own risk and leave if your dog cannot interact safely. Read the official Draper animal-services brochure and posted entrance rules before play.
