About the Park
Custer sits in the heart of the Black Hills, and this bark park on Washington Street gives dogs a fenced place to run between hikes at nearby Custer State Park. The fully fenced grass grounds separate small and large dogs into their own areas. A shelter with picnic tables offers covered seating, with uncovered benches for sunnier days, and waste bags are provided. The grass surface is easy on paws after rocky trails. Pricing isn't confirmed here, so check before your visit. Because it's a tourist hub, expect out-of-town dogs alongside locals in peak season. Bring water in summer, and make sure the gate latches behind you before letting your dog off the leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go

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.
