Memorial Park Dog Park:
In 2000, Memorial Park opened its very popular dog park. The 1.5-acre park is located on the hillside near the park's lake.  To access this area, park in the lower parking lot and then walk across the bridge.  Follow the sidewalk up the hill to the dog park, which is directly behind the restrooms.

There is no fee to use the dog park.
