Thank you for your interest in the Ankeny Dog Park!

In January, 2008, a task force of citizen volunteers began working with the City of Ankeny to make an off-leash dog park a reality in our community.

Such a park would provide a fenced-in, outdoor space for dogs to run and play off-leash, with specific rules to help ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone.

Dog parks offer many benefits. They…

Provide socialization and exercise opportunities for dogs and their owners. Create a welcome place for neighbors and dogs to meet. Help reduce undesirable behaviors and make dogs better community members. Are appealing neighborhood amenities for newcomers. Provide a safe place for the elderly or disabled to exercise their dogs. Reduce the number of dogs off-leash in other areas. Promote responsible dog ownership. Offer a designated area for dog-related events. If you’re a dog-lover, we invite you to join us. Many opportunities for involvement and/or financial support exist.
