Dog walking in Jefferson

Urbana Park

The fare is upscale American cuisine. The braised lamb is a local favorite. You will find the staff here very accommodating when it comes to your fur baby, but they won't serve him. You can bring his own dish if you would like for him to have water. All dogs who dine here with their pawesome parents must be leashed, and are welcome at the outdoor seating area.

The park provides cleaning stations that are well-stocked with doggie waste bags and scoopers. You can sit back on the bench and watch your dog play, or bring a ball and get ready to play fetch until your arm is sore.
