The City of West Allis began formally planning the creation of a dog park in Oct. 2017. In Jan. 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 Avenue or off of Cleveland Avenue.

Purchasing A Pass or Dog License

In order to purchase a dog park pass, you must: 

• Provide proof that your dog is neutered or spayed before purchase.

Residents can purchase park passes online for each dog separately or when they purchase a dog license online. Dog park passes can be purchased at City Hall in the Customer Service Center between 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or at the West Allis Police Department between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

Dog Park Fees

Dog park passes are purchased per dog and cost:

• Residents - $5 per day or $25 per calendar year for residents.

Dog park rules

Your dog(s) must be leashed until you enter the double-gated entry. Please make sure to close all gates behind you. For the safety of the dog(s) and others, choke, pinch, spike, or training types of collars are not allowed.
