Looking for a dog park in New Orleans for your furry friend? You’re in luck! Greater New Orleans is home to several dog parks for you and your pet to enjoy, including our own communities, which feature an on-site place for dogs to roam safely.
We know how important it is to keep your pet happy and healthy at 1st Lake, so we’ve compiled all the best New Orleans dog parks to help you find the perfect spot to play for you and your pup. Check out some of the best dog parks in NOLA!
Located in City Park, this dog park spans nearly 5 acres and is a pup’s dream. Lush green spaces, dog activities, and a communal water fountain (in the form of a bright, red fire hydrant) make City Bark a fun destination for dogs and owners alike. The property is located behind Popp Fountain, bounded by Zachary Taylor Drive, Diagonal Drive, and Magnolia Drive.
Another dog park in Uptown New Orleans, Wisner Dog Run is located at 4876 Laurel St. Water fountains for dogs and people are available, but be aware there aren’t any public restrooms for the humans!
Kenner Dog Park offers a well-designed space for dogs of all sizes, with separate areas to accommodate different play styles. Durable turf, shaded seating, and water stations help keep both pets and owners comfortable, and a convenient on-site dog wash station makes cleanup easy after playtime. The layout allows for year-round use no matter the weather.
Located in Metairie, Lafreniere Bark Park offers plenty of open space for dogs to stretch their legs and play. The park includes designated areas for different dog sizes, agility features to keep pups engaged, and convenient amenities like shaded seating and a wash area for post-play cleanup. It’s a popular spot for both energetic dogs and casual strolls with your four-legged companion.

Situated within Pontiff Playground in Metairie, Pontiff Dog Park spans 25,000 square feet and provides a relaxed setting for off-leash play. With seating and water access available, it’s an easy stop for dog owners looking to enjoy some outdoor time while their pets socialize and explore.
Bonnabel Dog Park pairs off-leash play with scenic views of Lake Pontchartrain. Fully enclosed and equipped with obstacles for active pups, it’s a great option for dogs who love to run and climb. The waterfront backdrop also makes it a favorite spot for snapping photos during your visit.
In addition to the public parks around Greater New Orleans, select 1st Lake apartment communities feature on-site dog parks for residents and their pets. These spaces offer a convenient way to let your pup burn off energy close to home, with room to run, socialize, and enjoy fresh air without leaving the community.
