Dog Park

2019 White Avenue
1 Acre
Description:
Pamper your pooch with a romp in this fenced, offleash park. This park is located next to the Humane Society
of the Palouse on White Avenue. The Animal Shelter in
Moscow was originally east of the property it is now on.
White Ave. was a “landfill” area. Because of this, the City
decided to clean out the site and develop it. If you need a
place to relax with your dog and also get some one on one
time at the same time, this is the ultimate dog fortress for the
public.
