About the Park
Fort Wayne, Indiana's second-largest city and the hub of the state's northeast corner, runs Camp Canine as part of its parks system, and the whole area is fully fenced. That enclosure lets dogs run off-leash within a secure boundary, a plus for owners of escape artists. Use is free. The Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation website carries the official listing, so check it for current hours and any seasonal or rule updates before you go. Northeast Indiana winters can be cold and snowy, so dress for the season and bring water in summer. Pack cleanup bags and keep the gate shut when dogs are moving through. It is a dependable option for owners across the three-rivers city.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Camp Canine is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, Camp Canine is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
