Welcome to the Shreveport Dog Park Alliance!
We are excited to share the news that the dog park planned for our riverfront has been approved for the Stoner Boat Launch Facility area and will become reality soon!
This regional dog park will be located on Clyde Fant Parkway at Stoner Avenue 2 miles south of downtown on the riverfront, inside of the Stoner Boat Launch Facility.
Located in an active area of the riverfront, this 4 acre area will provide a park for people with seating and a scenic overlook of the river, and a fenced area for those with dogs. Separate large and small dog sides are included. The facility has bathrooms and ample parking.
The dog park will enhance the activities provided on the riverfront that include a skate board park, disk golf park, marina/boat launch, walking and biking trails, baseball fields, sprayground, memorial areas, YMCA complex with a pool and more. The area is also used for other sports related interests.
The dog park is easily accessible and will add to the parkway that is dotted with apartments, condos/townhomes, and new schools. Shopping, restaurants, and casinos are nearby.
The Stoner Boat Launch Facility was built with money from the Red River Waterway Commission. The dog park will add to the project thanks to $280,000 funding from them. The Shreveport Dog Park Alliance contributed $28,000 in design money with the help from donations and fund raisers making this a public/private partnership.
This will be a public, city park and will be maintained by Shreveport Parks and Recreation. Caddo Parish helped in its creation and will provide assistance with Caddo Parish Animal Control creating a collaborative effort between the city and parish.
The Shreveport Dog Park Alliance will continue to raise money to enhance the dog park and assist others in the creation of smaller community dog parks. The city has created a handbook on how to start a dog park. Contact us for sponsorship opportunities. Be Sure to Check out our Shreveport Dog Park Supporters Photo Album.
