Chillicothe

The Catherine and Holden Corzine Memorial Dog Park opened on October 3rd, 2019.  The first dog park in Chillicothe's history, this park features a small dog park (25lbs and under) and all dog park. This 1 acre off-leash area is open to all of Chillicothe's residents and visitors. Amenities/Features include an ADA compliant parking area with sidewalks leading in to our unleashing area, bike path access, 6 foot high fences to ensure even the largest leapers stay inside the park, water fountains for dogs and their handlers, dog waste stations (bags provided), benches, and plenty of tennis balls! Before visiting with your pup, please read through the Rules and Etiquette. Also check out our Facebook Page for additional information. 

Beginning in January 2018, a small group of Chillicothe residents gathered to begin planning the dog park. The team grew over the following months and many meetings took place. Multiple sites were reviewed and finally the location on Yoctangee Pkwy was chosen. This area was appealing due to already being owned and maintained by the City, bike path access, and having water hookup. Design and fundraising were the next tasks the committee had to complete. Over the following year, the 'Friends of the Chillicothe Dog Park' raised over $92,000 in addition to the $70,000 the City of Chillicothe appropriated.  Design plans were started by using other dog parks as models. Many plans came and gone with the committee finally settling on the current layout.
