Ferguson Dog Park

If you're in a public area, your dog must be on a leash. That's all there is to it. It's also the law. The rule is an issue of public safety, according to Virgil Sauder, director of Bloomington Animal Control and Care. Also, politeness.

Athletic fields, picnic shelters, playgrounds, and a splash pad, as well as a dog park, are all available in this recreation facility.

The Clark "Doc" Werner Dog Park is located on the west side of Spring Street, directly across from Greenway Park's basketball courts. The park is divided into two sections, one for large dogs and the other for smaller dogs.

Speed Park and Silver Creek Township Park, in addition to Wilkerson and Mosley Parks in Sellersburg, are areas of interest immediately outside the town.

A two-acre section of Cardinal Park dedicated to man's best friend is known as Cardinal Bark Park. The Bark Park is divided into two sections, one for large dogs and the other for dogs weighing less than 30 pounds. There's plenty of room to run and play in each area, as well as seats and shade for dog owners and a walking route that rings the play area.
