Before you go

What your dog needs

  • A Clark County dog license. Fines start at $100.
  • Rabies, distemper and parvo shots.
  • Spayed or neutered if older than one year.
  • A leash between the car and the gate, even when the lot is right next to it.

Park rules

  • Open 7 am to dusk.
  • No eating, smoking or alcohol inside the parks.
  • Don't wait around the gate. Dogs get territorial there.
  • Kids are welcome, but stay close to them. It's a dog park, not a playground.
  • Pick up after your dog. It's the law in every county park.
