Taschner Park Dog Park – Howard City Campground, Howard, South Dakota

If you’re traveling through Howard, South Dakota, and searching for a welcoming dog park, Taschner Park at the Howard City Campground is a hidden gem for you and your pup. This fenced, well-kept dog park is compact—perfect for those looking for a safe space for their dogs to stretch their legs and play after a long journey. Many reviews praise its clean environment, grassy area, and the bonus of an automatic water bowl for thirsty pets. It’s an excellent pit stop, especially if you’re making your way along I-90 or just exploring local pet-friendly spots around Howard.

What makes Taschner Park dog park unique for dog owners is the attention to convenience and maintenance – staff are known to promptly replace trash bags and keep the area tidy, and there are poop bags provided to help ensure cleanliness. There’s a double-gated entrance for safety, and a few agility training obstacles for dogs to enjoy. Be mindful that the park is small—best suited for quick play sessions—and there’s limited shade, so plan accordingly during hot weather.

Enjoyed the breeze on a sunny day under the trees as we stopped by for a picnic lunch on our way through. Not busy and safe for our littles.
