Lucas Dog Park (membership only)

This a nice little dog park. It is by membership only. It has a long, well cropped grassy area along with a hard deck. It has some very nice shaded areas. It's tucked away on the north side of the park.

Park needs serious maintenance I’ve been coming down here over a year with my kids as we live in the area and I guess they just gave up on maintaining it. Super sad cause we love this park but we came today and it was very overgrown.

This is one of my favorite amenities in our downtown neighborhood. It's very friendly and clean. All the members must provide proof of up to date vaccinations for the pets so you know it's safe for your dog's health. Aggressive and non-nutered dogs are excluded. It's a totally volunteer run operation, so we all look out for one another and do our part keeping it a nice and clean as possible. It's a great place to gather with other dog families in the neighborhood. There are even a few social gatherings for members each year.$60 a year membership per household mostly to cover the liability insurance premiums required by the city. Yes of course you must be a member and pay your share - that's the only way to keep the park healthy, safe and happy for all of our furry friends. Come join us!

Not really understanding the upset about it being a membership based park as this seems to be the norm for the area. I didn't know that the first time I went either but I looked it up and was able to purchase a membership. I don't mind paying $60 a year and walking a few blocks from my downtown apartment to let my dog run free and play with other dogs. I do however think given that it's in a tourist destination limited amounts of day passes should be made available. Other dog parks, even small ones, do this and it's the hospitable thing to do for people visiting our city. Other members are responsible dog owners who pick up after their dogs and monitor their dogs play style. Always plenty of toys to play with, but I recommend bringing a few balls if your dog likes fetch.

Cute little park to let your dog run around and have some freedom off a leash in the city. The membership is for a year making it difficult for people that are only in the city for a few months (I'm a traveling nurse). I also sent multiple emails in regards to acquiring a membership along with speaking to one of the board members in person while walking by the park. I have never received any kind of response to start a membership. Incredibly disappointing as my pup would love to run around in the park.
