Dog Park Fees and Registration

Although the concept of organized dog parks has been around since the 1980’s, it has been much more recent that city park systems have accepted the challenge of developing safe, easily accessible, and FUN recreation centers for “man’s best friend”. As a result of the relatively new placement within the P&R budget, fees for the Durham Dog Park are required to help alleviate costs associated with park operation and expansion; i.e. waste disposal bags, water lines, fencing and maintenance. Your Durham dog park tag will allow your pet access to existing and future Durham dog parks.

Please note: Fees are valid for the City of Durham’s 2010-2011 fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011, and are not prorated.

Back by popular demand! Multi-dog discount: $2 off each additional dog.

July 1, 2010 – July 31, 2011
