About the Park
The Catherine B. Stillman Dog Park is a fenced-in off-leash area next to the Brownsville Animal Shelter, featuring separate sections for small and large dogs, pet fountains, shaded seating, benches, restrooms, waste stations, and dog playground equipment. It is open to the public from 7:00 a.m. to dusk. All dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Catherine B. Stillman Dog Park 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Catherine B. Stillman Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
