About the Park
Named for Navy SEAL John Douangdara and his war dog Bart, this South Sioux City park doubles as a memorial within Siouxland Freedom Park, home to a Vietnam Wall replica and a historical marker. The fully fenced grounds off Foundry Road separate large and small dogs and provide seating and waste bags. It is free to use as a public facility. The setting gives a visit more weight than an ordinary off-leash run, pairing dog exercise with a genuine veterans tribute along the Missouri River. Hours are not posted in our records, so confirm access with the Freedom Park before a first trip. Bring water, since on-site drinking sources are not listed here.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
John Douangdara 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, John Douangdara Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
