Edgewater Dog Park

Dog park

👍👍 My doggo loves going off-leash in this dog run! She drags me there every morning now. It's got a nice, complete, high fence with a double gated entrance. It's long enough for her to get a good run in and throw a ball. There are a few trees for sniffing and a community water bowl.

Churchill Dog Friendly Area

Dog park

👍👍 A really nice dog park right off the 606 trail. We go out of our way to bring our dog here at least twice a week. There are always a good number of dogs, plenty of space to run with tennis balls around to throw, and in summer weather a small pool in the middle for dogs to splash around in ☺️
