Dog Park Rules

Shamrock Dog Park
Located adjacent to the Wabash River, and just minutes from downtown Lafayette, the attractive, tree-lined setting provides park patrons and their dogs with three large fenced areas for large dogs and one fenced area for small dogs. Park users will find a safe facility to exercise their canine companions, as well as socialize with other dog owners. 

McPaw Dog Park
McPaw Dog Park features four separate paddocks for dogs of all sizes as well as one paddock for small dogs. The all-dog paddocks include a spray pad feature, pond, doggy playground, and other dog play elements. Ample shade and seating is available throughout the dog park.
