Pet Stop & Play


Don’t leave Fido at home! Dogs get cabin fever in any season,
not just wintertime. Most Metro and city parks are pet-friendly while on leash. 
Be sure to clean-up after your pets to keep everyone happy!  

Parks with fenced-in dog parks are a great place for your
best furry friend to meet and greet other four-footed
canines. A few of the dog parks feature agility
equipment if you just want a fun, challenging
activity to do with your dog.
