The Dog Park at Friendship Park is a fully fenced, off-leash area featuring grass and dirt surfaces with trees for shade. It includes agility equipment, shaded seating, waste stations, and post-renovation upgrades like drinking fountains, benches, shade canopies, and a public art installation. The park reopened after renovations completed by late 2025 and is one of Avondale's most visited community spaces.
Dog Park at Friendship 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.
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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, Dog Park at Friendship Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Temporary fenced area available during past renovations; watch for aggressive dogs and fire ants as noted in reviews.
