Tucson Pet Leash Laws and Dog Parks

December 11, 2007

I was out looking at houses with a Buyer, and one home had a nice big park next door.  My Buyer mused that he would enjoy having a place to play Frisbee with his dog.

Ah - hold on a second there.

The City of Tucson has laws that if your dog is outside of your home, it must be on a leash no more than 6′ in length.  In fact, the Tucson City Council recently contemplated raising the fine from $50 to $100 for the first offense of that law.

The good news is that Tucson has several Dog Parks where your canine buddy can run around off-leash, socialize with the other pups, and play a little Frisbee with you.

Palo Verde Park, 300 S Mann Ave - near Broadway and Kolb on the East side of Tucson.

Northwest Center Off-Leash Dog Park, 2075 N 6th ave, in Central Tucson

McDonald District Off-Leash Area, 4100 N Harrison Road, in Northeast Tucson

Jacobs Dog Park, 3300 N Fairview, in Central Tucson.

Reid Park Off-Leash Area, 900 S Randolph Way in Central Tucson (North of the duck pond)

Christopher Columbus Dog Park, 4600 N Silverbell, in West Tucson

Anamax Off Leash Dog Park, 17501 S Camino de las Quintas, in Sahuarita

Udall Dog Park, 7290 E Tanque Verde, in Northeast Tucson
