DOGPAW Future Parks

Future Off-Leash Dog Parks ::.

Currently, we are looking within Clark County to locate 5+ acres of land for dog parks w/parking.

We periodically ask members to vote through various methods, host public meetings, and offer traditional ways to contact us with your comments. Please contact our Development Chair to help plan and construct. Use the email link below or go to our "contacts page" for more options.

All sites are under repeated review by DOGPAW and their partners (city, county, and others) for need, location, funding, etc...

Here are the proposed off-leash sites and their current status:

Thanks, Brent (DOGPAW Member) and others for asking about new construction. We are finalizing paperwork to begin construction of various locations and projects. The first location or project to get final approval, will be constructed first. Would you all like to volunteer for contruction or management? The more volunteers - the sooner you'll have a park or amenity in your neighborhood and the less we'll experience over-crowding at Dakota and Ross.
