Manchester Dog Park

Manchester Dog Park at Dana Thompson Memorial Park is Southwestern Vermont’s first off-leash, fenced dog park, offering dogs and owners a safe space to socialize and play in Manchester Center. Founded in 2006 through the vision of Nancy Boardman and Will Carlin, the park now operates year-round under the Manchester Dog Park Foundation and is maintained by local volunteers. Located at 340 Recreation Park Road, the facility features separate areas for small and large dogs, double-gated entry, shelter, benches, and waste stations.
