OPEN DAILY 6:00am - 11:00pm
Located on the east side of Del Norte Park, the dog park is designed so that dogs can safely exercise and play offleash in a controlled environment under the supervision of their owners. Off-leash dog areas, or dog parks, provide a community setting in which people can gather and socialize and where they can observe the interaction of groups of dogs at play. Dog parks allow owners and their dogs to spend time together and offer dogs a space for play and companionship with other dogs.
