North Shore Dog Park
Dogs should be healthy too. Located in the Wai Koa Plantation in Kilauea, the North Shore Dog Park is open to the public and free to use so your dogs have a comfortable place to run off-leash, exercise, and socialize.
The park is operated solely with proceeds from donations and memberships; please join as a North Shore Dog Park member if you’re a regular user. Registration is required to use the dog park - click here for more information.
