Parks and Recreation

Opened in 2004, N. Owen Davies Dog Park was Racine’s first dedicated off-leash dog park. Named after former Racine Alderman N. Owen Davies, the park continues to serve as a welcoming community space where dogs and their owners can enjoy safe, social, and active playtime together.

• Dog owners looking for a secure, fenced-in off-leash area.
• Pets that need room to run, exercise, and socialize with other dogs.
• Families and individuals seeking a friendly outdoor community space.

• Three separate fenced areas: small dogs (≤25 lbs), large dogs (>25 lbs), and an agility/training area.
• Dog park rules: up to three dogs per handler; dogs must be at least 4 months old, fully vaccinated, and under voice control. Aggressive behavior requires immediate leashing and removal.
• Amenities include: waste bag dispensers, water fountains (seasonal), shaded seating areas, and open space for play.
• Parking: convenient on-site parking lot for easy access.

• Recent landscaping efforts have improved drainage and added green cover.
• New benches and shaded rest areas provide comfort for visitors.
• PRCS is continually reviewing community feedback to ensure the park remains safe, clean, and enjoyable.

• Bring extra waste bags, as supplies depend on refill schedules.
• Always supervise your pet and follow posted park rules.
• Be mindful of other dogs’ comfort levels—leash up if necessary.

Visitors often highlight:

• “Spacious, well-kept park with plenty of room for dogs to run.”
• “Love the separate areas for big and small dogs—it feels safe and welcoming.”
• “Convenient location and friendly community atmosphere.”
