Ocean City Dog Park Association
    because dogs are family too!

Founded to create a fenced-in, off-leash dog park where well behaved canine citizens can exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering or annoying people, property or wildlife. The Park is located at 45th Street & Haven Avenue. When heading southbound on West Avenue, make a right hand turn onto 45th Street and proceed approximately ¼ of a block until you see the Dog Park on your right along with a parking area where Handicap parking is available. Signs have been placed on West Avenue in both directions denoting the location of the Park.

Ocean City Dog Park Association Mission Statement:

To view the park as a community project in partnership with the County of Cape May and the City of Ocean City designed to satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
