Confirmed from Bow Wow 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.
Large park for dog owners, with separate areas for small and big dogs.
What runners say about Bow Wow Dog Park
“I spent a little time clean up some of what I saw so I can be part of the solution.”
Nice big dog park! Plenty of space for both small and large dogs. There were some dogs when we visited. Odd combination of grass and dirt and gravel. Lots of dog poop left around, no water (broken fountain), and no poop bags, but my pup had a great time.
Love it my dog is free to run in a large area with other digs, its fence all the way around. I can relax and have my dog run around without fear he might run away
Lack of shade and train tracks are near by with an occasional train zooming by but has a few nice trails for a leisurely walk with your pooch just outside and all the doggies and their parents seem to be friendly and welcoming
It's quiet spot tucked away in a little corner. Not one tree on the ground so shade is nonexistent. Bring your doggy bags. And be careful of the wasp nests under the benches.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadwater — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
