Dog Park

Introduction:
Tipp City's four legged friends have a place to play in Tipp City! The 1.85 acre Tipp City Dog Park located in Thomas B. Kyle Memorial Park was dedicated on June 21, 2008. The Dog Park is divided into separately fenced areas for large and small dogs, and includes a fully fenced perimeter with double-gates, benches, picnic table, and a water fountain that accommodates dogs and their owners.  

Directions:
From I-75 take Exit 68 east through Tipp City's Historic Downtown to First Street (approximately 1.1 miles).  Turn right (south) onto South First Street and proceed about ½ mile to the entrance of the park at Kyle Park Drive on the left. NAWA (Northern Area Water Authority) is on the right just past the entrance to the park.  

Why do we have a dog park?
A dog park establishes a specific and secure area for people to let their dogs run legally off-leash, giving the dogs enjoyable and healthful exercise.   Today there are more families where both parents work, more single parent families and more small yard (or no yard) residences. As a result, many dogs fail to receive the physical exercise they need because of time restrictions and space limitations.  Unreleased, pent-up canine energy is the number one ingredient in the recipe for dog behavior problems. Animal experts indicate that one of the leading causes of dogs being surrendered by their owners is behavioral problems.

Dog experts have long counseled that a tired dog is a happy dog, and a tired, happy dog is far less likely to get into trouble at home. A dog park gives animals a chance to let off steam. It provides a spacious area for dogs to play and be socialized with people, as well as with other animals. A dog park also gives owners who are too tired after a hard workday to take their dogs on a long walk or who have physical limitations that make walking their dogs difficult, a way of providing their dogs with proper exercise, as well as a fun romp.
