About the Park
Happy Tails Dog Park is located within Kohl Memorial Park and spans nearly two acres of secure, fenced space designed for off-leash dog play and socialization. The park features separate areas for large and small dogs, double-gate entrances for safety, and is integrated with broader park amenities including restrooms, picnic tables, and nature trails.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Happy Tails 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.
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.
Best of all, Happy Tails Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
