DOG PARKS AND DOGS IN IOWA CITY PARKS The City of Iowa City is a pet-friendly community. In order to ensure that all users have a great recreational experience, we need pet owners to follow City rules and regulations related to walking dogs in public areas, parks, open spaces, and trails. Owners must keep their dogs on a leash and are responsible for picking up after their pets. Iowa City Parks and Recreation has two dog parks where dogs are allowed offleash. They provide opportunities for exercise, socialization, and training. All dogs must display either a park permit tag or a day pass to use the off-leash dog parks. Owners without permits or passes may be fined. Iowa City residents must have a current City of Iowa City Animal License to get a dog park tag. Proof of rabies vaccination is also required to use the dog parks.

BIKE TRAIL IN PROGRESS! Over a mile of natural surface single track trail designed for mountain and cross style cycling is currently being built at Terrill Mill Park, located near the UI Beckwith Boathouse. The trail will include a skills section for intermediate level cyclists (blue route) while mostly catering to riders looking to enjoy engaging and diverse entry level tracks (green route). The trail will pass along the Iowa River, over bridges and boardwalks, through lowland forest and prairie, over massive windfallen trees, and through the historic ice house foundation. The trail is being designed for one-way travel along a loop system for a rider friendly experience. The popularity of single track cycling has been increasing throughout the region and this course will provide new cycling opportunities in a location accessible from the larger Iowa City bike trail network. The new trail completion is targeted for late fall 2023 (trail will remain closed until completed).
