Dogwood Run

6322 West 133rd Avenue
219-769-7275

Dogwood Run is a leash-free area just for pooches at Lemon Lake east of shelters 6 & 7. Turn right at the first road after the gatehouse. The 14-acre facility is divided into two sections, allowing for alternate usage permitting re-growth in one while the other is in use. Registration and an annual "Pooch Pass" permit are required for each dog using the facility. The annual Pooch Pass is a dog tag that must be worn on the dog's collar. A one-time "try out fee" is issued at the gatehouse and must be shown to park personnel upon request.
