The Louisville Dog Run Association's primary goal is to oversee the maintenance and continued improvement of dog parks in our community. Since the LDRA does not receive funds from any local or state governmental agency, all users of the dog parks are required to have official Dog Park Permits to use the areas. In addition, this ensures that all dogs using the dog parks are up to date on their vaccinations and have responsible owners who will abide by the rules, keeping our dog parks safe, healthy, and happy places to play. 

The cost of the 2025 Dog Park Permit is $45.00 for the first dog, $35.00 for the second dog, $25.00 for the third dog, and $20.00 per additional dog in the same household. All funds from the sale of the Dog Park Permits will go towards the dog parks' maintenance and improvement costs. The permit will allow unlimited use of the dog parks through December 31, 2025.

You may apply for a permit by completing and submiting the permit application along with proof (photo copy) of each of your dog's rabies vaccination records to one of the Feeders Supply locations listed below.
