Choosing the right park for your dog

Not every off-leash area suits every dog. Fencing is the first thing to check: a fully fenced park with a double-gated entry is the only safe choice for escape artists and unreliable recall. Separate small-dog areas matter if your dog is under about 15 kg -- being bowled over by a boisterous large breed is no one's idea of fun. Surface counts too: grass is kindest on joints, while gravel and wood chips can be rough on paws and get surprisingly hot in sun.

First visit to a new park

Walk the perimeter on-leash before unclipping: check the fence line for gaps, note where the water is, and watch the resident dogs for a few minutes. Keep the first session short and end it yourself while things are going well -- your dog will remember the park as the place good things happen.

What to pack for the dog park

Water and a bowl, poop bags (bring more than you think), a leash for the walk in and out, and a towel in the car for muddy days. A long line is the honest middle ground if your recall is a work in progress.

Off-leash etiquette that keeps parks open

Vaccinated and licensed. Most parks require it; all of them assume it.
Watch your dog, not your phone. Off-leash is a privilege that depends on owners paying attention.
Pick it up. Every time, no exceptions -- this is the number-one reason parks get complaints.
Know your dog. Reactive or unneutered dogs and puppies under four months generally do not belong in busy off-leash parks.
Leave when it is not working. If your dog is overwhelmed or overwhelming others, a short walk beats a bad incident.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Can puppies go to the dog park?

Puppies under about four months -- before full vaccination -- should sit out the busy off-leash hours. Ask your vet when yours is ready.

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.
