Marin Humane Society Dog Park and Dog Park Club
The Marin Humane Society has developed a corner lot to meet the growing needs of our guests and Humane Society programs and services. A new bridge guides people to the adjacent parking lot, plaza area with fountain, and two dog parks.
Facilities include:
- 75 parking spaces
- Large Dog Park (25 pounds and over)
- Small Dog Park (under 25 pounds)
- Plaza with fountain
- Water faucets for people and dogs
- Benches
- Shade shelter
- Play boulders
- Poop bags and scoopers
- Garbage service
- Landscape maintenance
MHS will use the parks for adoption dog socialization, exercise and family introductions; training classes and behavioral evaluations; and special events.
Occasionally the Marin Humane Society will need to reserve the dog park during public hours for special events or unscheduled maintenance issues. In addition, to preserve the integrity of the turf, we have found the need to close the parks during inclement weather. You’ll find current dog park conditions and closures posted on this page.
The Marin Humane Society also invites the public to enjoy the parks during specified hours by joining the MHS Dog Park Club. During other times, the Marin Humane Society will use the parks for socializing and exercising adoption dogs, pre-adoption introductions, dog training and special events. The MHS Dog Park Club is FREE to Marin residents.
NEW! Reservation Usage for Club Members
Both Dog Parks are available for reservation usage by club members in half-hour increments once a week. Reservation hours are 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily. The fee for a half-hour session is $20.
Senior Citizens (age 60 years and older) and MHS Golden Paw Donors who are Club Members may reserve time in the Parks at no cost.
