Rita's Ranch Dog Park is a three-acre off-leash dog park located within Scott Park on the east side of Iowa City. Opened in 2009, it features three distinct enclosures designed to accommodate dogs of various sizes and needs.
Rita's Ranch Dog Park at Scott Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Best of all, Rita's Ranch Dog Park at Scott Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Dogs must be off-leash in designated areas. Some sections available for dogs requiring on-leash training.
