Good to know

How to use the map

Tap a dot to see the park name and its details. The locate button asks your browser for your position and centers the map on it, if your browser allows location access. Parks without a name or city are on the map but have no page of their own.

Find a dog park near you

To find a park close to home, use the locate button on the map or pick your state above. Each park page lists the five closest listed dog parks in its state, with the distance in miles, so you can compare the options nearby. The nearest parks are not always the best fit: check the features and the sources on each page before you go.

Private, customer-only and members-only parks are not listed.

Open now and opening hours

Opening hours are recorded for 246 of the 7,673 parks. For the others the record shows no hours, so this site cannot say whether a park is open now. Check the park's own notice or the park authority before you go.

What is not listed yet

Indoor dog parks and dog beaches appear only when a source records them as a dog park. The site does not record playgrounds. Free entry is recorded for 5 parks, so there is no free-entry page yet.

FAQ

Questions

Is the list complete?

No. The counts are minimums. OpenStreetMap and the city data sets are incomplete, so a park that is missing from both is not listed. A missing record is shown as not verified, not as a sign that the park lacks a feature.

How do I report a wrong or missing park?

Fix it at its source. OpenStreetMap edits go to openstreetmap.org, and city data sets are maintained by the city that publishes them, as named in the sources on each park page. The next data update carries the change over.

Can I tell whether a park is open now?

No. Opening hours are recorded for only some parks, and the site does not track live status. Check the park's own notice or the park authority before you go.

Are the parks free to enter?

Entry fees are rarely recorded. Free entry is confirmed for 5 parks in the listed states, so check the fee with the park authority.

About the data

Park locations and features come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and, for New York City, Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, Seattle, Boise, Franklin County, Allegheny County and Raleigh, from city and county open data sets. Extract dates: 2026-10-17, 2026-10-18.

Each park page lists its sources and their dates. A feature is shown only when a source confirms it. Missing records are shown as not verified, not as absent. The counts are minimums because the sources are incomplete.
