About the Park
Sand covers the ground at the Dog Park at Ogden Park, 615 Ogden Park Drive in the 28411 zip code on Wilmington's north side. The sand surface drains fast after coastal storms but rides home in fur, so pack a towel. Separate fenced areas keep small and large dogs apart, the whole space is fully fenced, and lighting extends usable time past sunset — relevant from June through September, when daytime heat and humidity are rough on heavy-coated dogs. Seating and water access round out the basics, and a walking trail runs nearby for a leashed warm-up lap. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, free of charge. County park information is posted at parks.nhcgov.com.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Ogden 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 Ogden Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
