About the Park
Little dogs get a dedicated corner in Bloomington with this small-dog area, a companion to the town's larger-breed space. Pint-sized dogs can socialize off-leash without dodging bigger, rowdier company, which many owners of small breeds appreciate. It costs nothing to use as part of the public park system. This part of south-central Indiana shifts from humid summer heat to cold winters, so bring water in warm weather and dress for the season. Our records leave fencing, surface, and hours unconfirmed, so a quick on-site check is the best way to know what to expect. For anyone in the Indiana University area with a small dog, it is a low-key option for daily exercise and play.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Small Dog 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.
Best of all, Small 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.
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.
