Description
Durham Parks and Recreation has multiple dog parks, which offer a safe and controlled environment for dogs and their owners. The dog parks provide access to open space for off-leash play and socialization.
All dogs MUST be registered with DPR annually. To ensure that we provide a healthy environment for all participants, we have adopted the vaccination requirements recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association. All dogs are required to have the following vaccinations before being issued a dog park tag: rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, and a negative fecal exam. We also accept titer results in lieu of vaccinations except for rabies (state law). Vaccinations must be current, and not due to expire within 30 days.
When these requirements are met, a DPR dog park tag is assigned. All dogs must wear their current dog park tag while playing in the park.
Online registration is available at DPRPlayMore.org. After registering, vaccination records and liability waiver must be emailed to durhamdogpark@durhamnc.gov. See website for complete instructions, or call (919) 560-4355 for more information.
Registration can also be done in person at 400 Cleveland Street, or by mail to:

Notes
The Dog Parks have reopened. Please remember that entry into the Durham Dog Parks is only permitted for dogs with a current dog park tag. Please do your part and practice social distancing in the dog parks by remaining at least 6 feet away from others. Additionally, per the City-County Orders, a face covering will be required if social distancing is not possible. Dog park members are also expected to abide by the Mayor’s current mass gathering limitation, which at this time is no more than 10 in a group outside. Owners are required to clean up after their dogs, both inside and outside the fenced area. Children under 12 years of age must be supervised by an adult and spectators (those without a dog) need to remain outside the fenced areas. All members must follow these rules in addition to all other dog park rules and regulations. Please visit our Canine Recreation page for a complete list of dog park rules and for dog park tag registration information.
You can check the status of all of Durham Parks and Recreation closures here.
After registering, an online liability waiver form must be completed and vaccination records must be emailed to durhamdogpark@durhamnc.gov. Required vaccinations are: rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, and the results of a negative fecal exam. Tag will not be issued until these items have been received.
To register more than one dog, enter the number of dogs in the box next to "Purchase additional seats for this activity." A $2.00 discount will be applied to the second (and each additional) dog registered by the same customer. Use coupon code 2dogs, 3dogs, 4dogs, or 5dogs, when registering for more than one dog.
