What People Are Saying

Huge dog park with separate areas for different sized dogs
It gets really muddy when it rains but they do switch which area is open every once in a while to avoid killing the grass too much
Very nice dog park. Four enclosures - two for all dogs - one for medium dogs and one for small dogs

About Ballenger Creek Dog Park

The multiple enclosures mean even the shy pups can find their comfort zone without feeling overwhelmed.

On the plus side, water fountains are available for all dogs, and there are plenty of poop bags and waste stations to keep the area clean.

In addition to the dog play areas, you’ll find benches for owners to relax and shaded spots to escape the sun. Convenient parking is available, and the park is close to a walking path and creek for those longer outings. Overall, Ballenger Creek Dog Park offers a solid space for dogs and their humans to enjoy.
