Dog park users: get your tags!
All dogs in off-leash dog parks must wear tags when using these parks. License your pet and get your tags!

Leash-free dog parks are fully fenced areas where owners are allowed to have up to two dogs off-leash at a time. Dogs must be under control and owners must "Stoop and Scoop" their dog's waste.

The map for each location below provides an overview of the fenced-in off-leash area. 

Locations

* The off-leash park at this location has some gaps in the fencing. Owners should be aware and stay within sight of their dogs at all times.
