Plan your visit
- Address: 9980 South 300 East, Sandy, UT 84070.
- Listed hours: Public map listings show 9 a.m.–9 p.m. daily. Confirm the entrance sign before relying on those hours.
- Play areas: The park has two fenced sections, but visitors report that only one may be open at a time. Do not assume a dedicated small-dog area is available.
- Water: A drinking fountain serves dogs and people when operating. Bring backup water, especially in freezing weather.
- Parking: A small nearby parking area serves the park; spaces can fill during busy periods.
- Surface: Expect a mix of grass, bark or worn ground and a paved loop, depending on which section is open.
Find the dog park entrance
The dog park is on the east side of 300 East near 9980 South. From the parking area, follow the short approach to the fenced entrance and check which section is open. Keep your dog leashed until you are through the gate, and watch for stickers or rough vegetation along the approach.
A compact neighborhood dog park
The paved loop lets handlers keep moving while dogs run through the central play area. The rotating sections help the city rest worn ground, but they can make the usable area feel small when attendance is high. Choose a quieter time if your dog needs more space from unfamiliar dogs.
Water, seating and seasonal conditions
Visitors regularly mention seating, shaded spots and a dog-level drinking fountain. Water service may be turned off or unavailable, particularly during cold weather, so carry water and a bowl. Grass and bark conditions vary by season and by the section currently in use.
Rules before entering
Use the fenced off-leash area for play and keep your dog leashed outside it. Close the gate behind you, supervise your dog, remove aggressive animals and clean up waste. Follow posted limits for dogs, children, food and toys. The surrounding city-park rules require dogs to remain leashed outside the designated off-leash area.
What park visitors say
Park goers often describe a friendly crowd, useful walking loop, seating and a convenient neighborhood location. Recent reviewers also say the open section can become crowded, the fountain is not always available and surface quality changes as the city rotates sections. These are individual experiences, so assess the crowd, water and ground conditions when you arrive.
