About the Park

Located within Pantera Park, the Dog Park consists of two enclosures where dogs are allowed off-leash: a 0.6 acre area for large dogs over 25 pounds, and a 0.3 acre area for small dogs under 25 pounds. The enclosures are surrounded by a six-foot high chain link fence with self-closing double gate entrances and exits to each area. The ground is covered with six-inches of wood fiber (similar to wooden chips that are used for playgrounds).
