Park of the Americas

Fenced play for big and little dogs, with room to walk.

Park of the Americas is a useful east-of-downtown option on Andes Avenue. The city confirms separate fenced spaces for small and large dogs. A half-mile path offers a leashed walk outside the enclosures, and the wider park has shade pavilions. Its published 7 am opening gives early starters another option to compare with Lake Druid.
