The City of Las Cruces has begun constructing the city’s first, official off-leash dog park. The park, located behind Meerschedit Recreation Center, 1600 E. Hadley St., is tentatively scheduled to open in May.

The park will have structured rules for use and etiquette, which the city of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will discuss at their meeting scheduled for February 26th, 7:00 p.m. in the Dresp Room of Branigan Memorial Library, 200 E. Picacho Ave.

The Las Cruces Dog Park Coalition secured $150,000 in state legislative funding for phase one of the construction.
