About the Park
Doc Nelson Dog Park is a fenced-in recreation area in Watford City, ND. This off-leash park features separate sections for large and small dogs, water, and benches.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Doc Nelson 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.

backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl

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