Shaughnessy Park Dog Off-leash Area

This park was GREAT!!! I was dog sitting a really huge puppy with A LOT of energy. He made some friends, and so did I!! The people that come here are friendly. There's even a place for the humans to sit and socialize while the dogs run around and play! One of my favorite things about it is that once you're in it, it doesn't feel like you're "fenced in" it feels like you're just out in the wilderness with your dog and other people and their dog. You should definitely have your animals spayed or neutered before coming here. The place is too big to be monitoring that kind of "unsafe behavior". Also (this might be a community thing) they have water jugs that it's polite to refill, but also is there so the dogs can get their fluids well enough. In summary, a great place to get your dogs some exercise or socialization with other pups!

My favorite dog park in the area because there are always dogs there! Nothing is more disappointing than to get to a dog park and is empty. This park is HUGE with a beautiful forest setting; trees everywhere for shade in the summer and lots of space to run. The regulars that come here are some of the nicest people I have ever met and made me feel really welcome. The only draw back is in spring/ fall it tends to be really muddy.

Has a water fountain, and has separate enclosed areas for small and large dogs. Has an excellent trail to walk on. There's also a river near-by. I've never had any issues here with aggressive dogs, or "bad" owners, and I have been here dozens of times. Great place!

Great place. Lots of running room for young dogs and walking room for older dogs and places to sit. Very shaded for hot days and clean water available

The small dog park is clean and shaded so your pets are not in the full sun. My little Havanese dog loves it there.
