Blue River Run is a two-acre dog park located in Blue River Memorial Park. It features 3 separate areas, one for dogs of all shapes and sizes to enjoy, one for dogs under 25 lbs., and one for dogs over 25 lbs. The dog park is completely fenced with an electric gate entry system. This gate system will limit entry to members only who have shown proof that their dog(s) are properly vaccinated and parasite free. We want this park to be safe for pets and people.
Any dogs displaying aggressive behavior will be asked to leave.
