Dog walking in Chilcoot

Marina Village

Sparks Marina Dog Park is a great place to bring your dog for a swim. It is fenced in so that your dog can come and play in the water safely. Keep in mind that the fence can only go so far in water so your dog could swim past it if he is a strong swimmer. There is also drinking water available here. If your dog isn't a swimmer, there is still plenty of room to roam and play. There are also plenty of sitting areas where you can watch your pup play and get to know other pet owners. All of this is only half an hour from Chilcoot!
