Howard Street Dog Park

Good park, the pet owners are nice and respectful. With that said, be aware, there is a lot of 💩 around, and the water fountain in the large dog part (as of 3.12.25) is an operable. Regardless of these two things I think it's a good park for a dog to go meet and play and run around and get their energy out

Only one other owner there on a Thursday afternoon which was fine for my 6 month old puppy. He mentioned there's normally more owners there with large dogs. There are two separate parks large dogs or senior dogs but no area for small dogs. covid restrictions say only 5 at a time if I'm remembering that right, the park is big enough for social distancing with many benches. My dog loved it and I thought it was decent besides the area that it's in. A little sketchy. Pretty clean. Poop bags offered. Lots of room for my puppy to have the time of her life.

Came here last year with my dog infrequently but it was super clean and spacious for him. Today I came here and am disgusted. Bird poop everywhere and coating all of the four benches making them unuseable. The trash cans are so overfilled that there is a jenga tower of poop bags on the top. Not to mention a broken water fountain wasting a ton of water and creating a bird poop sewer creek that runs through one of the main gates. Was this park abandoned by the city? It's so bad.

A bit messy/polluted, to the extent that I must constantly keep an eye on my dog to make sure that he does not eat any debris or material. We usually can get the park to ourselves during less common times, which is the primary benefit of this smaller and less well taken care of public dog park.

I love this place because I can bring my dog here everyday off leash she can roam around there's 6 benches in the large dog area then there's a spilt for senior /small dogs oh yeah also there's a fountain for the dogs to drink out of which is very convenient ☺☺☺
