An off-leash dog area is a fenced designated public area that allows dogs to run freely and socialize with other dogs while being supervised by owners. Some off-leash sites are divided into separate areas for large and small dogs, and some feature dog training areas. Amenities differ by location. There is no charge to use a City of Tucson off-leash dog area. Dog owners are expected to follow posted regulations at each site and maintain control of their pets at all times.
