What People Are Saying

Very nice fenced park in the downtown area; therefore, relatively small, yet still plenty of room for the dogs to run
Super fun, the turf was great! Only downfalls were the water was still turned off and there were no bathrooms close by
It's a small park but it's usually kept clean

About Kirby Dog Park at Fort Sod

Nestled in downtown Sioux Falls, Kirby Dog Park at Fort Sod offers a well-maintained, fenced environment for your furry friends. The park’s relatively compact size is offset by its two separate areas for small and large dogs, featuring artificial turf that keeps things clean and bug-free, although some have noted it can lack the soft feel of natural grass. The park is generally clean, thanks to responsible dog owners, but a few visitors pointed out that the occasional mess can be an issue.

While the park boasts a fun atmosphere and a water fountain for the pups, it’s worth mentioning that during some visits, the water was turned off, and the absence of nearby bathrooms can be inconvenient. That said, dog owners appreciate the friendly vibe and the ample opportunity for their dogs to socialize with others, particularly on the High Energy side.

Parking is accessible, but space can get tight during peak times. With trash cans and waste bags readily available, most owners do their part to keep the area tidy. Although there are some drawbacks, Kirby Dog Park remains a popular spot for Sioux Falls dog lovers looking for a quick romp with their pets.
