Dog Park Locations

Bring Petzooie to Far North Bicentennial Park for some off-leash fun on the designated trails.

The airport is next to this nice off-leash dog park. There's even a pool where your pet can swim! Once the ski-joring paths have been groomed, off-leash activity will be limited to the specified area. Many park users, including skiers, walkers, runners, bikers, and other members of the community, share areas designated for off-leash dog use. Please be respectful and follow proper "petiquette."

The Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve encompasses a national park, a national preserve, wilderness, six wild rivers, and two national natural landmarks, all of which offer isolation, wilderness travel, and adventure to tourists. Wild rivers run through the maze of glaciated valleys and rocky mountains, which are covered with boreal forest and arctic tundra vegetation and home to populations of caribou, Dall sheep, wolves, and bears. Dogs are permitted in the park, but they must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after. Dogs are permitted in the park's wilderness, although there are no man-made paths. Visitors must fly or hike into Gates of the Arctic because it is a wilderness area with no roads or trails into the park lands.

The Lake Lucile Dog Park is open all year. It's a fenced-in space for dogs to run at the Lake Lucile Park entrance that's about 300 feet long and 60 feet wide. During the summer, there is water accessible for the dogs. Although there is limited parking, there is enough of space for Fido to run around, play fetch, and sniff his heart out.

Off-leash pathways are available at University Lake Dog Park in Anchorage, Alaska. On a seasonal basis, several paths in this park may be closed to off-leash use. Trails like these will be well marked. Respect the park's wildlife and other visitors. To protect nesting birds and a particularly active beaver community, swimming by dogs and/or their owners is prohibited. During mating season and when guarding their young, beavers may be rather aggressive.

Dogs enjoy playing off-leash in this park in Russian Jack Springs Park's northeast corner, but they must be kept under control because the area is not fenced.

A dog park, as well as an American Legion baseball field, two little league fields, an RC track, and paintball fields, are available at the South Anchorage Sports Park. With the exception of the dog park, dogs must be leashed in all sections of the park.

Fairbanks Dog Park is the place to go for off-leash fun in Fairbanks, with plenty of area for dogs to run. The park has a total of 20 acres (including 10 acres of natural area), a half-mile of walking trails, two fenced play areas, and a fenced grass for training, demonstrations, and events.

Today, Kiks' ancestral home serves as a memorial to a historic conflict between Russian invaders and indigenous people. Dogs are welcome on all of the park's trails and grounds. However, as with all National Parks, your pet must be kept on a six-foot leash or shorter.

Grizzly bears, caribou, wolves, Dall sheep, and moose can all be found in Denali's dynamic glaciated landscape. Birds and wildflowers abound on the summer slopes. Sightseeing, backpacking, and mountaineering are popular activities for visitors. And don't forget about Mount McKinley, North America's tallest summit at 20,320 feet. Pets are permitted in the park but must be kept on a leash at all times and are not permitted on the trails, shuttles, riverbars, or backcountry. Owners must dispose of feces in garbage cans and keep pet food in a vehicle or food locker, according to the park.
