This will be Bay County ’s first off-leash dog park.  Located within the Fairgrounds, it is the only public place in Bay County where dogs can legally be off leash.  This park was made possible through a $15,000 donation from the Humane Society of Bay County and the efforts of Bay County officials.  The park features a large fenced-in area for play; within this area is a fenced-off area for smaller dogs.  Owners are responsible for monitoring the behavior of their pets and for cleaning up any feces. 

The park features basic agility equipment such as jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and a teeter-totter for dogs only.  The equipment is constructed to United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA) standards, with the exception of the teeter totter which will not be placed at regulation height. 

On May 19, 2007 , the Humane Society will host its annual Dogs & Us Pet Walk at the Fairgrounds. Walkers who raise a minimum amount will be able to enjoy the dog park from 10:00 AM until 12:00 .  The general public will not be allowed in the park at this time.
