Thornberry Dog Park

About Thornberry Dog Park

Nestled in Iowa City, Thornberry Dog Park is a paradise for pups with its expansive 10-acre layout and three separate fenced areas: one for small dogs, one for large dogs, and another dedicated to agility training. Many have praised the park’s spaciousness, with sandy areas and small splash pools that keep dogs happily occupied. The park’s peaceful surroundings and considerate visitors create an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

The park is easy to access, whether you walk across the scenic pedestrian bridge or drive in from different parts of the city. A highlight is the dog pond located at the back, complete with a jump-off pier that thrill-seeking canines love. Benches and shaded spots make it a great place for owners to relax while their dogs frolic, and the convenient on-site dog wash is a thoughtful touch for any messiness after a fun day.

While Thornberry is open 24/7, making it easy to fit into any schedule, it’s worth noting there is a membership fee of $60 per year. Many visitors appreciate the provided poop bags that help keep the park clean. Overall, both the interaction with other responsible pet owners and the well-kept facilities contribute to a delightful experience for dogs and their humans alike.
