What to bring
- Water and a collapsible bowl — most parks have spigots but they're seasonal
- Waste bags — three per hour is the rough rule
- Collar with current rabies + ID tags (even if microchipped)
- Treat pouch with high-value rewards for recall practice
- Towel for muddy or wet paws on the way back
- Vaccine record on your phone — some parks spot-check
Quick etiquette reminders
- → Watch your dog. Don't scroll your phone — read body language, intervene early.
- → No puppies under 4 months. Their immune systems aren't ready for group play.
- → Females in heat stay home. Period.
- → Leave high-value chew toys at home. They cause fights.
- → If your dog is reactive on leash, dog parks aren't the right venue.
