The Dog Park at Willowhaven Park is a 3+ acre membership-based, gated off-leash facility with separate areas for small dogs (under 26 lbs) and large dogs (over 26 lbs), featuring natural grass and shade trees. It includes double gates, water stations (seasonal), waste stations with bags, and a covered shelter with picnic tables and benches for owners. Accessible daily from sunrise to sunset via membership card, requiring proof of rabies and DAPP/DHPP vaccinations.
Dog Park at Willowhaven 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.
Best of all, Dog Park at Willowhaven 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.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
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: Membership required with access card; proof of Rabies and Distemper/Parvo (DAPP/DHPP) vaccinations mandatory; water shut off November through March.
