For Dogs
Dogs are welcome in all areas of the park on a leash. It is against park ordinances to take dogs off-leash except in designated areas. The popular Off-Leash Exercise Area in Frick Park is located about a half mile past the Blue Slide playground on Riverview Trail. Water fountains and bags for waste disposal are available all along this trail, making it a great place to bring dogs.
