Paws Park Dog Park

History of Paws Park Dog Park

Paws Park Dog Park was established to meet the growing need for dedicated off-leash recreational space in Helena, Montana.

Developed as a community resource for dog owners in the state capital, the park was designed to provide a safe, multi-use facility where dogs of varying sizes could exercise and socialize.

The 6.0-acre site was strategically developed with multiple play areas and walking trails to accommodate diverse canine needs and owner preferences.

The park's layout and features have been maintained to support its mission of providing a spacious, accessible environment for dogs to engage in natural play and exploration.
