About the Park
On Lincoln's northeast side near 84th Street and Market Drive, the dog run at Mahoney Park backs onto a network of walking trails, including a paved route that suits a leash-up lap before or after off-leash time. The run itself is fully fenced with separate small-dog and large-dog areas, benches inside, a seasonal water fountain, a covered restroom, and ample parking, a practical combination for longer visits. It is free, run by the city, and open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. The seasonal fountain shuts off in cold months, so bring water from roughly fall through spring. With parking rarely an obstacle, it works as a drive-to destination for dog owners across northeast Lincoln.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Run at Mahoney 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 Run at Mahoney Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
