New Albany Dog Park
An off-leash paradise for our canine members of the family.
Operated by City of New Albany Parks and Recreation
After many years of planning, New Albany Dog Park opened in October 2016. Located along Highway 111 at 1935 Budd Road in New Albany, this multi-acre, members only, off-leash dog park has plenty of open space for your pooch to run and play. The park features swings, gazebos, benches, water spigots, wooded areas, a separate agility course, and much more. There are also two large play areas where the dogs are separated by weight, so that the smaller dogs will have a less intimidating environment to run and play with their friends.
We know that urban living can be stressful at times for our canine friends, and that's why we are excited to have this wonderful, open green space to give your pooch some freedom to stretch those little legs. Did you know that many behavioral problems experienced by dogs are due to a lack of socialization and physical activity? By bringing your furry friend to New Albany Dog Park, he or she can freely run off-leash, fetch toys, bark with new buddies, or go for a swim in the pond. Even man's best friend needs a little "me" time every once in a while.
