Park manners that keep off-leash areas open

Tags and shots current. Parks assume vaccinated, licensed dogs -- make it true.
Eyes on your dog. The deal behind every off-leash park is owners who actually supervise.
Bags in, bags out. Pick up every time; complaints about waste close parks faster than anything else.
Read your dog honestly. A reactive dog, an unneutered male, or a tiny puppy is usually happier -- and safer -- elsewhere.
Quit while it is good. Over-tired dogs make bad decisions; leave on a high note instead of waiting for trouble.

Which park suits your dog

Parks differ more than they look on a map. Start with fencing: escape artists and dogs with selective recall need a fully fenced park with a double gate, full stop. Small dogs do better where there is a separate small-dog section -- a 10 kg dog and a 40 kg adolescent do not play the same game. Then the ground: grass is easiest on joints and paws, gravel and bark mulch wear pads down and bake in summer sun.

Then think about water, shade and timing. On-site drinking water means lighter bags; shade or a shelter stretches a summer visit by an hour. Go early or on weekday evenings for calm, weekend mid-morning for the social scene. Shy or reactive dogs do best off-peak in short sessions -- and wherever you go, leash up through the gate area, where most scuffles start, and unclip once you are clear of the entrance.

Scoping out a new park

Do a leashed lap first. Look for fence gaps, check water and shade, and read the room -- a calm pack is a green light, a tense one is a reason to try another day. Keep visit one short and leave happy; dogs build their opinion of a park fast.

Frequently asked questions

How many off-leash dog parks are here?

0 are currently mapped in open data. The list above names each one.

Are the dog parks fenced?

Fencing varies by park and is not always tagged in map data. Treat any park as unfenced until you have walked it yourself.

What if my dog does not like the park?

Not every dog is a dog-park dog, and that is fine. Leashed walks, sniff spots and playdates suit plenty of dogs better than a busy off-leash crowd.

Do dog parks cost anything?

Public off-leash parks are almost always free. If a park ever charges, it will say so on its own signage.
