About the Park
Set along the Virgin River at George Barker River Park in Springdale, the Marj Bonner Dog Park puts dogs right at the gateway to Zion National Park. This is an unfenced area with river access, trails that follow the Virgin River, and benches and picnic areas nearby, so it favors leashed walks and water breaks over enclosed off-leash play. Keep your dog leashed and mindful of the river current. It is a scenic spot to rest a dog before or after exploring the Springdale area. Hours and pricing are not confirmed in our records. Southern Utah gets very hot in summer, so shade, water, and cooler hours matter, and the riverside setting offers a welcome place to cool off.
