Welcome to Peppy Paws Pooch Park, LLC, Ashland County, Ohio's very first Dog Park. We are conveniently located just outside of town to the north, not far from Gerwig’s White Barn Market.

      There are already at least 50 public or privately-owned dog parks currently in communtities across Ohio, and now Ashland County joins their ranks.

      Peppy Paws Pooch Park is privately owned and supported by the dog owners who use it, through their membership fee. The fee pays for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the park. We receive no tax money.

      Two park areas are planned, one for small dogs weighing 30# or less and the other for large dogs. The reason for two park areas is to ensure the safety of smaller dogs. Presently, one of the two park areas is complete and operational.

      However, rather than waiting until the whole park is complete, we’ve decided to begin operation to help finance the rest of the park, separating the small and large dogs by time rather than space. Once both areas are open (expected by the end of June), they will be open every day during daylight hours. Until then, the park will be open as follows:

           Large Dogs only (more than 30#): M, W, F, and Sat.
           Small Dogs only (30# or less): Sun, Tu, and Th.

           Open! Great day! Chance rain tomorrow, then great!
