University Heights Off Leash Dog Park

Located along Normal Street in University Heights, this dirt-surfaced spot works best as a low-key social enclave rather than an athletic playground. The space attracts neighborhood regulars and occasional pup meetups, but its petite scale means it is best for smaller, well-socialized urban dogs. Without room for wide sprints, and with a low fence bordering street traffic that makes games of fetch risky, it serves more as a modest corner to mingle than an open running ground.
