K9Acres Off-Leash Dog Park

02/06/2024

Get ready to unleash the fun this summer as we unveil a new urban dog park in the Oak Hill Jackson neighborhood — near New Bohemia! Located at the intersection of 4th Street SE and 16th Avenue, this half acre pocket park will be a doggy delight with a fenced in grassy area, a patio with benches, and a drinking foundation with jug filler.

The park will provide a place for neighborhood residents and New Bohemia visitors to exercise their dogs and meet new paw pals. We are on the hunt for a name that is as “fetch” as the park itself. Post all your creative name ideas here or send them to [email protected] by February 14.

The dog park is a cooperative project between the City of Cedar Rapids Parks and Recreation, Community Development and Public Works Departments and The Watts Group.

🐕 Accessibility (ADA) construction has begun at K9Acres Off-Leash Dog Park. Work is expected to take a few months, but the park will remain open with the work areas fenced off. Please use the temporary fenced entrance (red line on the map below) during construction. The work will be done in five phases. The training yard will be closed during all phases. The small dog yard will be closed for phase one but will reopen once work is completed.
