Riverbend Park’s 2-acre fenced Dog Park is a wooded and grassed area where dog owners can recreate with their pets off leash. The Dog Park includes waste stations, benches, and tables. The entrance is double gated for safe leashing and unleashing. There are also considerable changes in topography that will help enhance your dogs exercise possibilities. Please read the Dog Park rules and complete an application for a Dog Park Permit Pass. You must have an official vet record indicating that all shots on the application sheet are up to date. The fee is $20.00 a year and is valid for one year from purchase date and can be paid with cash or check only (made payable to Catawba County). The Dog Park is open during the normal operating hours of Riverbend Park. For health reasons we request that you bring your own water and small water bowl.
