About the Park
Schutte Park Dog Park is a clean, spacious, and fully fenced off-leash area located at the back of Schutte Park in Dover, Delaware, before the baseball fields. It features separate sections for small and large dogs, dog waste bags, and trash cans, with agility obstacles for play. Visitors should bring their own water as no fountain is available and beware of a hornets nest near the pond behind the park.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Schutte Park 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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, Schutte Park 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 folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
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.
