About the Park
Lighting sets this Scottsbluff park apart from most rural Nebraska dog runs, extending usable hours into the evening from dawn until dusk in summer and 9pm through winter. The fully fenced grounds off 2nd Avenue include shade trees, picnic tables, benches, and a stock of dog toys, plus on-site parking and waste bags. Admission is free as a public park. The mix of seating and lighting makes it practical for owners who work daytime hours and need somewhere to exercise a dog after work. It is managed through the local Common Grounds Dog Park group; check their site for closures or event days before heading out.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
