Nine miles away from Carbondale, you can visit the Friends of Murphysboro Dog Park, which is a double-gated, fenced area where your fur-baby can sniff around safely.

Waste baggies and places for disposing them are available at the park. Drinking water is provided at the park's water fountains. You'll find plenty of shade trees in the park to keep you comfortable on hot days. For the dog owners, there are benches for extra comfort.

There are three fire hydrants for dogs to mark and a lot of shade to shelter you and your fur-baby from the sun. You should bring water with you since it's not provided here.
