About the Park
Dog wash stations and more than three miles of trails make this Sioux Falls park, off N Ellis Road, one of the more equipped stops on the west side. The fully fenced grounds split into small- and large-dog areas, with concrete walkways, shade structures, and natural play features throughout. Drinking fountains and water access keep dogs hydrated, and seating and waste bags cover the basics. Obstacles give active dogs something to work. The park runs daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM at no charge. Its mixed surfaces and long trail network suit owners who want a full outing rather than a short romp. Rinse a muddy dog at the wash station before loading up, and confirm gates latch behind you.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Family 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.
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, Dog Park at Family Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

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