Kanine Kampus

Ocean Hills is definitely a dog friendly area.  Play with your dog at the off-leash, fenced dog park.  Ocean Hills Country Club calls it “Kanine Kampus.”  No, it is not a place to study or train dogs, it is more of a “party” place for your pets.    This dog park is a grass area (actually, it is now artificial turf) where your dogs can run free and play with you or other dogs.

Everyone seems to get along.  Kanine Kampus has double gates to keep free dogs from escaping when someone new is coming into the area.  There is water, pick up bags, and a trash can available for your convenience.  You can rest on one of the dog friendly benches as you watch your pet.  See rules below photo.
