The Rowayton Dog Park
The Rowayton Dog Park is a great space to bring your dog, let them run and play, and get some exercise. For many years, a volunteer group has spearheaded management of the park. In 2024, The 6TH Taxing District has taken over management. Currently there is no fee or registration required to use the park, but that will change sometime in the future with plenty of notice, to help fund upkeep and to keep track of dogs using the park for safety reasons
RULES OF THE DOG PARK
