Dog Park at Wilderness Park

About the Park

Set within Rapid City's Wilderness Park off City Springs Road, this off-leash area is unfenced, so reliable recall matters before you unclip the leash. Hiking trails run through the surrounding park, making it a fit for dogs who'd rather cover ground than circle a pen. A playground, picnic area, and restrooms serve the broader park, so expect foot traffic beyond dog owners. The mixed surface underfoot changes with the terrain. Hours run from sunrise to sunset, and there's no fee to use it. The lack of fencing means it suits confident, well-trained dogs more than young pups still learning to come when called. Keep an eye on trail junctions and other park users.
