Located conveniently on 7th St SE, Mt. Vernon Dog Park is a popular destination for local dog lovers seeking a safe and open space for their pets to play. This well-maintained dog park in Mt Vernon, Iowa offers a spacious, grassy area where dogs can socialize, run off their energy, and meet new friends. The park is known for its friendly, responsible visitors and clean environment.
Notable amenities include a secure, double-gated entry, accessible parking, and a cold water fountain for dogs. A picnic table is available so pet owners can relax while their dogs play. The park is wheelchair accessible, making it a welcoming option for everyone in the community. While the park is open and inviting, there are limited shade options and it is best recommended for local residents.
Park kept clean and in great condition. Dog owners are friendly and responsible. It’s a great place for dogs to run out their energy and socialize with other dogs.
I was passing through on the highway and stopped just after sunset. You could easily miss it in the dark, it’s a little ways off the road. The park is nice, grassy and pretty big. There’s a water fountain for dogs and a few cleanup stations spread around the park
Great place to let my dog get her energy out. Its got one picnic table to sit on while your dog runs and plays. It has 2 lock gates so if your dog gets out of the first one while someone is coming in the gate behind them is shut so there is no easy way for them to get out.
The park is too small, does not have trees for shade. Has great parking lot and has a dog water fountain with cold water. I would recommend this park only for local residents.
Lots of great space to burn energy for energetic pups!
