Facilities

The Defiance Bark and Run Dog Park is located at 11795 Precision Way, across the street from the Reservoir.

The dog park is run by the Defiance Bark'n Runners, (a 501c3 organization) and not the city. Many people think that we are a city park, but we are an independent organization. Your tax money is not going to this park - all of our upkeep costs come from donations and memberships! Learn more about it at the Defiance Bark and Run Park website!

The Defiance Bark and Run Dog Park is comprised of two, one-acre fenced-in areas where small dogs and large dogs may be separated for safer play. This is plenty of room for dogs and owners to play ball and enjoy each other's company. The park has trees for shade, a shelter house, benches and pet waste bag dispensers. You must bring your own drinking water since there is not a water source.
