West Allis Dog Park

2019 Dog Park Grand Opening

The City of West Allis began formally planning the creation of a dog park in October 2017. In January 2018, a Community Workshop brought together supporters of the dog park to establish two volunteer groups: a workgroup and a fundraising group. Together these groups raised the funds needed to create West Allis’ first dog park, which opened in 2019. 

The park is located at 11200 W. Hayes Ave., with the entry off the northeast of Hayes or off of Cleveland Ave.

DOG PARK FEES

Dog park passes are $5 per day or $25 per calendar year for residents and $5 per day or $50 for non-residents. Prices are per dog.
