About Reno Memorial Dog Park

Nestled in Des Moines, Reno Memorial Dog Park offers a spacious and well-maintained environment for pups and their humans. With a large fenced area and a paved walking path that loops around, it’s perfect for those who want to jog while their dogs play freely. The park is well-cared for, with patrons respecting the space, and amenities like water bowls and poop bag stations readily available.

For those planning a visit, keep in mind you’ll need a city Dog Parks membership, costing $20 per dog annually. Day passes are reportedly available, but be sure to check in advance. The park also features picnic tables and parking, making it a convenient spot for a day out with your furry friend. On warmer days, don’t miss out on the nearby Grannies ice cream for a sweet treat.

While the park doesn’t have agility equipment, many appreciate the natural features, including ample trees providing shade.
