Located in the charming community of Ashland, Ashland City Park offers a well-maintained dog park that is a favorite spot for both locals and visitors seeking a pet-friendly adventure. The park features a safe, fully fenced area where dogs can run off-leash and socialize in a laid-back atmosphere. Nestled behind the veterinary clinic and close to local schools, pools, and other community amenities, this dog park stands out for its open field, agility obstacles, and inviting environment. Enjoy dog-friendly hiking or stroll along the paved walking and jogging paths that circle the park, all while taking in picturesque views of the little pond, playgrounds, and athletic fields nearby.
For dog owners, convenience is key: benches offer seating under shade, and a covered pavilion with picnic tables is perfect for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Water bowls and a potty bag station help care for your pet’s needs, though visitors are encouraged to bring their own dog water, as water availability can sometimes be limited. Parking is available near the tennis courts, and there are paved, wheelchair-accessible paths throughout. With a friendly, low-traffic vibe, this park makes for an excellent outing where dogs can play safely and owners can connect with fellow pet lovers in the heart of mid-Missouri.
I’m from out of town and had a couple of hours to kill so I decided to check out the city park. It looks very nice. The layout is free-form and natural but very well maintained. The weather was beautiful on the day of my visit and the park was loaded with kids and their parents.

Really nice paved walking path around perimeter; very level and very much wheelchair/scooter accessible. Everything is well maintained and the restrooms are well maintained. There is a nice gazebo with electricity and 3 or 4 picnic shelters with grills. Overall a nice little small town park.

It’s a cute, little city park. It has a paved path to walk on. With a little pond, tennis courts, a baseball field, and play equipment for little people on.
