Dog Park
Location: South side of Windsor Rd. between Rising Rd. & Staley Rd.
Hours: Open daily from dawn to dusk

This new park will provide your dog a place to run off-leash and interact with other dogs and humans. Located on seven acres near the southeast corner of Windsor and Rising Roads, this park features a 4 foot fence, double-gated entry area, separate areas for large and small dogs, parking lot, and trash cans/dog waste stations.

Dog Park Membership
Dog Park membership carries with it responsibilities to all Dog Park users and the public at large. Not all dogs are good candidates for Dog Park play and interaction with a wide cross section of dogs. If your dog is shy about meeting new people, children, or dogs, he might not be a good candidate for the Dog Park. In addition, Dog Park users must be able to maintain control over their dogs even when off leash. All dogs at the Dog Park should be responsive to their owners’ calls.

Purchase a one-year membership for your dog at the Bresnan Meeting Center, Springer Cultural Center, or Tennis Center. Users found without proper membership tags will be asked to leave and may forfeit future park privileges.

Requirements for Membership
To complete your membership registration owners must provide a current county registration form (or other proof of rabies vaccination), and proof of current vaccinations for distemper, kennel cough/bordatella, para-influenza and parvovirus as well as proof of a fecal test for internal parasites. Please complete this membership form and bring to the Bresnan Meeting Center with the appropriate documentation.
