About the Park
Run by the City of Bloomington's parks department, Ferguson Dog Park is a free off-leash space in a college town best known as the home of Indiana University. Bloomington sits in the wooded, rolling hills of south-central Indiana's Monroe County, where summers are warm and winters moderate. The city posts details for the park on its official parks website, which is the reliable place to confirm current hours, seasonal changes, and any membership or rule requirements before a first visit. Bring your own water and waste bags. As a municipal facility in an active, dog-friendly city, it draws local owners looking for a dependable place to let dogs socialize; check the site for the latest access information.
