Sawyer Dog Park at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park spans six acres of grassy space, divided into separate areas for small dogs (under 30 pounds) and large/all dogs. It features shaded areas, gazebos, water access, a scenic shaded gravel trail, and a natural pond-like area after rain on the all-dog side. Ample seating is available for owners, with a rinse area for muddy dogs.
Sawyer Dog Park at E.P. Tom Sawyer State 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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Sawyer Dog Park at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

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

Your dog's favorite toy
