About the Park
Home to DePauw University, Greencastle anchors Putnam County in west-central Indiana and maintains this off-leash park for area dogs. It is free to use as a public park. The climate here matches the rest of central Indiana, with warm summers and cold winters, so bring water in the heat and expect muddy conditions after rain or snowmelt. Our records do not list hours, so check posted signage at the entrance or contact the Greencastle parks office to confirm when it is open and what the rules are. Bring waste bags and make sure your dog is comfortable in a group before letting it off-leash. For residents and DePauw students alike, it is a no-cost place to exercise dogs.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Greencastle 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, Greencastle Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
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

Your dog's favorite toy
