tips_and_updatesVisiting Dog Parks in Highlands
Highlands's Dog Park
Highlands has one dedicated dog park — Highlands Dog Park. While having a single park means fewer options, it also means a tighter-knit community of regular visitors. Getting to know the other dog owners and their dogs can make visits safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Off-Leash Safety
Some parks in Highlands offer fenced enclosures, which are ideal if your dog is still working on recall or if you simply want peace of mind. Always check the fence condition when you arrive — look for gaps at ground level that a determined digger could exploit.
Water Play
Water features are available at parks in the Highlands area. Bring a towel and consider a dog life jacket for deep water areas. After water play, rinse your dog off to remove any bacteria or algae.
Best Times to Visit
Dog parks in Highlands tend to be busiest on weekend mornings and weekday evenings after work. If your dog prefers calmer environments or you're working on training, try visiting during off-peak hours — mid-morning on weekdays is usually the quietest.
What to Bring
Pack fresh water and a collapsible bowl, poop bags, and high-value treats for recall practice. Even if the park provides waste stations, bring your own bags as backup. A basic first aid kit with styptic powder and bandage wrap is smart to keep in your car.
