About the Park
Deming Park is a 177-acre public park in Terre Haute, Indiana, featuring walking trails, open green spaces, and a designated off-leash area for dogs to play and socialize. Amenities include water stations, waste stations, and benches for owners. Leashed dogs are welcome on the Poplar Street Trail, making it the largest dog-friendly park in the area.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Deming Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Deming Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.

Your dog's favorite toy
