Bring your dog to run and play!
Canine Corners Dog Parks are great places to let your dog off the leash to play, run, and socialize.
These parks are open year-round from dawn to dusk, and they are fenced so that dogs are safely contained off-leash, with brush and paths for a great field experience.
An annual or semi-annual pass (in the form of a visible dog tag) is required for all dogs using the park. You must register in person at either of the Rockford Park District Customer Service locations. Proof of current rabies vaccination is required at the time of registration; bring a copy of the rabies paperwork from your veterinarian or rabies tag.
