- Ocean City Dog Park. Located on 94th St.
Park is located on 94th Street when you are heading toward 1st street you

the tennis courts is the dog park. Not much, has water - dirt and grass. BUT
they are building a new dog park and it is supposed to be very nice and there
will be a seasonal fee. There are poo bags for pickup, but no one is watching,
up to pet owners and there are some they leave their dogs in their to play
tennis, which I did not like, but have a standard poodle and she loved it -
1st time she had ever went to a park, so it served the purpose and she had
fun, no incidents. the new one being built right behind it looks to be very
nice. This one is double gated. A good place to take your dog if you need to
have it run and stuff. Thanks, Velma. Location: 94th Street heading toward 1st
street, make right onto 94th - place on right behind the arts/rec building
