About
The Dog Park is a fenced facility for dogs to go off-leash to run, play, socialize, and exercise. There are separate areas for small and large dogs. The park features benches, agility and play equipment for the dogs. The park is open from 6:00am to 12:00am. All members will receive a mobile access to gain entrance. The park is located in Municipal Park, north of the playground.
An annual membership fee to the park helps provide necessary revenue for ongoing expenses and allow for future upgrades to the Dog Park. A membership based park promotes safety by tracking the "members" and ensuring that all dogs have up-to-date vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian before being admitted.
A membership is available from the Carthage Parks & Recreation Office located at 407 S Garrison Avenue. Information needed to register is a current license showing animal is registered, copy of vaccination records from a licensed veterinarian, and paperwork showing the dog is spayed or neutered.
Annual Membership Fee:
The annual fee is $20 per household, all dogs must be registered.
Service dogs are free, but the owner needs to provide proof that the animal is a service dog.
