There are several options for dog-owners in the Oklahoma City area looking for a spot to take their dogs for outdoor recreation. Below are the dog parks around Oklahoma City with information on location and features for each.
A partnership between the City of Edmond and Bark Rangers and Paws for Life, Inc., The Edmond Dog Park is located in the northwest corner of Bickham-Rudkin Park at 33rd Street and Rankin, just east of Boulevard. The dog park portion is about 4 acres and is open from dawn until dusk. There are drinking fountains, restrooms and a pond in the fenced park area.
Norman's dog park is located on the west side of 12th Street, north of Robinson and is open from dawn to dusk. A two-acre, double-grass park, it is non-profit, which means that it doesn't receive any funds from the Norman Parks & Recreation Department.
