About the Park
Dogs in the small village of Gambier, home to Kenyon College in Knox County, have a free public place to play off-leash here. This is rural central Ohio, so the pace is quiet and the surroundings are more countryside than city. The park asks nothing for entry, which suits regular visits for nearby residents and the college community. Details such as fencing, surface, and posted hours are not listed in our records, so treat those as things to verify when you arrive. Given the region's changeable weather, from humid summers to snowy winters, dressing for the day and carrying water is a good habit. Bring waste bags as well, since small-village parks do not always keep them stocked.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Gambier Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Gambier Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

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.

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