About the Park
A river where dogs can swim is the headline feature at Merlin Olsen Central Park, 280 East Center Street in Logan. The off-leash area occupies the back half of the park, and it's unfenced — so this is a spot for dogs with reliable recall, not escape risks. Water access plus seating makes longer visits easy in summer, when a swim beats panting on dry grass. The rest of the park carries sports courts, a playground, shelters, and a wildlife mural, so families can split up without splitting the trip. Hours run 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, free of charge, and that early opening is rare among city parks. Expect leash rules outside the designated back-half area.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Merlin Olsen Central 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.
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, Merlin Olsen Central 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.
