Wilmington Dog Park

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 folding chair

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.

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.
