About the Park
Small and large dogs get their own separated areas at this Hastings park, so a nervous small dog is not forced to mix with bigger, rowdier company. The fully fenced grounds include picnic tables and seating set within a surrounding open field, and on-site water access helps during warm south-central Nebraska summers. The park is free as a public facility and open from dawn to dusk. It is a solid everyday option for local owners who want a fenced run with somewhere to sit. Details beyond the fencing, seating, and water are not posted here, so bring waste bags of your own. The city parks page lists the current location and any closures.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hastings 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.
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.
Best of all, Hastings 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 towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
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
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.
