Confirmed from Dog Park in Riverview 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.
Pet-friendly park, including 2 sections for big and small canines.
What runners say about Dog Park in Riverview Park
“the people that use this dog park really care about keeping it clean everyone pitches in.”
A clean and well groomed area with plenty of space for dogs of any size to run in play! Very cost-effective, and an area for dogs big or small, the space offers free water and ways to remove puppy waste! This is a great area for anyone to take their fur babies to run and play and meet new friends!
The Marshalltown dog park is a good place to take your dog to allow the pup to run, play, and socialize. The park is split for big and small dogs. Both the dogs and their owners are friendly. There are lots of "regulars" and they are welcoming to anyone new to the experience.
They have a separate area for dogs under/over 20 pounds. They have faucets there on each side of the fence to fill a water dish. Plenty of shade and room to run. We used the side for the bigger dogs and our pup had so much fun!
Large dog park! Lots of room to run around. There's a small dog area and a large dog area which is awesome. It gets a little muddy when it rains but it's usually not too bad!
