Community Garden plots are available to rent for this summer. The sites are approximately 20x40 and rent for $15 per year. Renters are able to rent for multiple years if they would like to start perennial crops such as strawberries or asparagus. Park crews till the plots in the spring when weather permits. There is no water at the site so renters must bring in water. Renters can provide their own rain barrels if they so desire.

About Camp Canine 

Camp Canine is 60,000 square feet of grassy, fenced play space, divided into two separate areas. Separating the space allows for crews to clean and mow one side while keeping the other side open. A 600 foot open-air shelter and patio was also constructed in the dog park and there are bone-shaped benches and fire hydrants positioned throughout the grassy area. The drinking fountains have a ground level bowl for dogs as well as a higher bowl for humans.

History

In 2000, a dedicated group of local dog-lovers approached the Parks and Recreation Department with the concept of developing a dog park in Fort Wayne. The group conducted research on similar facilities in other communities and pledged their energy towards raising funds to construct the facility.

In 2010 a new Dog Agility course was added which includes six new canine agility equipment pieces.  These products are specially designed to help dog owners to teach obedience skills, build confidence, and give exercise.  There are three separate pieces in each area of the two fenced areas.  One area has a set of six weaving poles, a wait table, and a doggy teeter totter.  The other area contains a tire jump, a set of five hound hoops, and a dog walk ramp.  This new equipment is tough enough for any park setting and will provide fun activities for dogs of all sizes and abilities.
