Ogden Dog Park - Wilmington

The Ogden Dog Park is an area of the Ogden Park in Wilmington, North Carolina, which has been conditioned for exercising dogs off-leash. Surrounded by high chain link fencing, the dog park is a secure environment for dogs to play and socialize. With plenty of space and room to roam, your dog will love it here. 

This awesome dog park is great for both small and large breeds as they both have individual compounds with abundant exercise space. This is excellent for elderly or frail dogs to prevent accidents. There are also some tall pine trees inside the boundary fencing, and these provide some shady spots when it's sunny.

This dog park in Wilmington is surfaced in the most part with sand. While that means the off-leash areas are quite easily maintained, owners should be aware that during the summer the sand gets hot, which makes it not only uncomfortable for dogs to walk on, but can burn their paws too. Fallen pine needles can also be a problem for some dogs as the needles can become entangled in longer fur or tail hair and get stuck between hairy paw pads.

Parents wanting to use the Ogden Dog Park facility in Wilmington should be aware that youngsters under twelve are not allowed in the off-leash areas. In addition, there is no running or yelling allowed in the dog park. The main park area is dog-friendly, and dogs can be walked there as long as they are kept on their leashes which is great for enjoying some family time with a four-legged friend. 

Dogs should never be left alone in the Ogden Dog Park and have to be put back on their leashes before leaving the designated off-leash zone. All dogs using this off-leash dog park in Wilmington are expected to display the correct level of behavior when it comes to socializing with their canine counterparts. 

Dogs that continuously molest other dogs by trying to mount them or surpass the comfortable limits of rough play and domination need to be removed from the park immediately. The other thing owners need to remove straight away is all their dog's poop. Equipment for scooping and trash containers are provided. There is also a water spigot with fresh water and bowls for the dogs on-site.
