Long Description:
Durham Dog Park Website

This park was opened in May 2007 in Northgate Park, off of Lavender Ave. The park was built around the old Jaycee baseball field and has an area for larger dogs and one for smaller dogs. The large dog area has covered seating in the old dugouts and there is a picnic table in the smaller dog area under some trees.

The park also provides poop bags and a water fountain for both dogs and owners in the small and large dog areas. There is a yearly $12 registration fee for Durham residents ($20 for non residents). Your dog must be healthy and have current vaccines to register and registration is required before your dogs may use the park. Dogs must also wear their park registration, ID and rabies tags when at the park. All of the rules and regulations can be found on the DDP website.

Your registration is also valid for the Durham Dog Park at Pineywood Park.
