Wheeler Memorial Park
About the Park
Wheeler Memorial Park is a spacious off-leash dog park with two sections: a large grassy area with abundant shade trees and a smaller gravel area. The main grassy section closes seasonally (typically November through May), leaving only the gravel area accessible in winter. The park features a water fountain, free poop bags, and is generally well-maintained. Evenings between 5-7pm draw heavy crowds.
