QC Dog Parks

Everyone has energy to burn off, and that even includes your dogs.  The Quad Cities has many options for dog parks where dogs can run off-leash and play with other dogs.  Take your dog and find a favorite or dog park hop. We have put together a list of dog parks in the QC.

Bettendorf:

Crow Creek Dog Park is located at 4800 N Devils Glen Road on the North end. It provides almost 7 acres of fenced, safe space for dogs to run and play off leash.

Joan K. from Davenport says, our preferred dog park is the Crow Creek Dog Park in Bettendorf. The reasons we like this park best has to do with the amount of space to run, amount of shaded areas to stand under, and variety of dogs who come to the park on a given day. It’s an expansive dog park with three fenced in areas. The city alternates opening the two largest fenced-in areas and then there is a “small dog” area.  We’ve met some of the nicest people and coolest dogs while there.  Our lab mix loves to run with the “big dog pack” who chase after one another at astounding speeds.  Our puppy is a little more antisocial with other dogs, so we want to make sure she socializes regularly.

Davenport:

Centennial Park is located at 315 South Marquette Street. The park includes a fenced-in, off-leash area.

North Marquette Dog Park is located at 4411 North Marquette Street.

Laura E. from Davenport says, I love bringing Ruby to the North Marquette Dog Park. This hidden gem usually isn't too busy, so it's great for meeting a few friends for a doggy playdate. It has two sections, one for larger and one for smaller dogs, with a doggie water fountain outside of the gate. Pro-tip: Bring a gallon of water and a bowl inside with you so you don't have to leave every time your pup looks thirsty. Ruby loves running with the pack, usually around the humans despite the large field. It's a lot of fun seeing her sprint around the field, turning on a dime and tumbling and rolling when she miscalculates.

Eleanor Wallace Dog Park is located at 28th Street and 78th Avenue West in Hasselroth Park, near the Campbells Sports Complex. Dogs can run off-leash in this popular safe and secure fenced environment allowing them and their owners the opportunity to exercise, socialize, and play.
