If you’re searching for a spacious, dog-friendly park in Chillicothe, Ohio, The Catherine and Holden Corzine Memorial Dog Park stands out for its well-designed amenities and welcoming environment. This pet-friendly park features two fully fenced areas: a large, football field-length zone for big dogs (over 25 lbs) and a quaint, separate area for small dogs (under 25 lbs), ensuring safety and fun for pups of all sizes. Both spaces offer plenty of trees for shade, boulders for climbing, benches for relaxation, and water access—including a doggy water fountain—making it a cool retreat on hot days.
Visitors will find convenient features such as double-gated entrances, poop bags, trash bins, and paved paths right outside the park on the scenic Flood Wall trail, perfect for pet-friendly hikes or leisurely walks. The park is wheelchair accessible and close to kid-friendly areas, gas stations, and eateries. It’s a local favorite for both two-legged and four-legged friends looking for a safe, friendly, and well-equipped dog park experience in Ross County.
We ADORE this lovely park. It has a looong Big Dog space to let you play ball or have long zoomies (I’d say a football field length), with boulders for climbing, trees for shade, flowers, and benches. The Small Dog 25 lbs and under is cute and quaint and let’s dogs smell each other with a fence to protect the little ones. Both sides have trees, red fire hydrant to pee, poop bags and trash bins, double gates to prevent dogs getting out, and water access inside the fencing. Right outside the gates is a path to walk up on The Flood Wall, a long concrete walking/ riding/ jogging path if you just want to take your pets for a walk.
Less than a mile is Subway, gas station, a drive-thru if you need to grab a bite to eat before bringing them to play.
Great place to take your dogs to go play. There is an area for small dogs and a very large area for the bigger dogs.
The people who bring their dogs there are supper friendly and allowed my dog to interact with their dogs.
There is also a doggy water fountain when it’s hot.
This was my first time their and the people were amazing, and since then, we have been back several times.
Nice space for dogs and dog parents shade options and private space to run. Down side legs always itch the city needs to put down some diamatacous earth down.
Great place. Need another working water fountain in main dog park area. Enforce no eating in park. Put some nontoxic powder down the giggers Nats and fleas are bad to itchy to stay long will have to spray myself down with Deepwoods off. Over all our dog loves it. Our dog got a yeast infection on her paws dirty dogs there
Our girls loved this park, especially the water fountain. Silly princess GSDs must have clean running water. We did wish the grass barriers were removed, but that was the only issue.
