The Fort Harrison State Park Dog Park features three separate fenced play areas totaling over 10 acres: Platoon Run (3.6 acres with shade trees, shelter, fireplace, agility equipment), Herrin Hill (1.3 acres of open grass), and Brigade Landing (5 acres with pond, dog beach, wooded adventure area, open April 1-Oct. 31). It is the only dedicated off-leash dog park in Indiana's state park system, located separately on the north side of Fall Creek. Access requires an annual or weekly pass with vaccination records.
Fort Harrison State Park Dog 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.
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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, Fort Harrison State Park Dog 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.
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: No dog size restrictions. Pond and beach only for dogs, no human swimming or fishing. Annual pass $75 per dog; 7-day trial $15. Vaccination records (rabies, parvovirus, distemper, bordetella) and liability waiver required. Separate from main park entrance; park office at 5753 Glenn Road for passes.
