About the Park
Built into the Wilder community at 400 SE College Way in South Beach, just south of Newport, this fully fenced dog park runs from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Separate small- and large-dog areas, transitional entry gates, on-site water, seating, waste bags, and agility equipment make it one of the better-equipped coastal options, and shade plus scenic views and nearby trails add to the appeal. Off-leash play stays inside the fence, and the double-gated entries help keep dogs secure. Use is free. The long daily hours suit early risers and evening walkers alike. Coastal weather here trends cool and damp, so expect some mud in wetter months and bring a towel for the car.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Wilder 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.
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.
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.
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, Wilder Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
