Dog Park hours for Frederick Street Park:
Monday-Friday - 8:00am-7:00pm (or sunset, if earlier)
Saturday-Sunday - 8:00am-5:00pm   

The hours are intended to lessen the impact of the dog park on immediate neighbors. Dog park users are asked to be mindful of their dog’s behavior at all times, to clean up after their dogs, and to come back another time if they are unable to control their dog’s barking.
There are two off-leash areas, one for big dogs and one for small dogs.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: During rainy periods of weather, Frederick St Dog Park may be periodically closed due to overly wet, rainy or muddy conditions to preserve the health and vitality of the turf and for the safety of your pets.
