Indian Hills Dog Park

There is a new Dog Park in Columbia! We have recently completed the construction of a new dog park in Indian Hills Park. It can be accessed from the Aztec Blvd. entrance to Indian Hills Park. It is about 1.5 acres and it has picnic tables to sit at while your dog runs through the variety of shady and sunny areas. This dog park has no pond or lake so if you are one who does not want your dog to get wet while playing, you might choose to come to this dog park. Please see the below link for how to get to Indian Hills Park in northeast Columbia.

Twin Lakes Dog Park -- Council Report

First of all, a special thanks to the 35 or so of you that took the time to come out to the Twin Lakes Shelter for our dog park planning meeting on October 28, 2009. We did not know what to expect in terms of numbers and were very pleased with the turnout.

If everything goes as planned, there will be a report about the creation of a "winter dog park" at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area (TLRA). As a Council report, we are informing Council members about the plans for this coming winter. We indicate that for the months of December 2009, January 2010 and February 2010, we will be opening the former swimming lake area of the Pirates Landing aquatic facility as a temporary winter dog park. The current dog park will be closed as an off-leash area (OLA). In the spring, we will conduct a second dog park planning meeting to see how it went and evaluate whether or not to continue this practice.

This report also presented a copy of the proposed rules and regulations that were handed out at the dog park meeting and posted on our website. We reported some of the concerns that were brought up at the meeting and indicated that we would continue to work with the users to develop a final set of guidelines or rules of etiquette.

Once the Council agenda is set and released to the public, we will post a copy of the Council report and all handouts for everyone to see.

Thanks again for your help!
