Confirmed from Benton Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean public space featuring play areas for little and large dogs and some benches.
What runners say about Benton Dog Park
“They have drinking stations, poop stations to clean up after your dog, and benches and tables for the two legged counterparts.”
“We really enjoy taking Dixie there its nicely equipped for any/all size dogs has shaded area and plenty of seating.”
Really enjoyed stopping here during a long roadtrip. There was also a very nice lake nearby that my pups enjoyed walking around.
It a nice park with a nice shade for owners and obstacles for the dog. No other dogs when we visited.
We really enjoy taking Dixie there its nicely equipped for any/all size dogs has shaded area and plenty of seating. They also provide 2 pet waste stations that always have bags available, I have noticed in the past week or so not everyone is using them though...
Never too crowded, great "toys" and activities for the dogs, separated areas for 30 lbs and up and for less than 30 lbs. There is a bathroom with running water located on the area but quiet a little walk away from the dog park parking area.
