Washington Township Park boasts the first Dog Park in Hendricks County, aptly named “Paw Park.” The facility is located on C.R. 575 East, just off of US 36. The Paw Park was designed to give the Washington Township community an opportunity to exercise and socialize their dogs in an off-leash area. All dogs are required to have a Paw Park membership to use the area.

New to the Paw Park in 2019, a water supply was added.  Our Woofstock Event has raised funds for us to provide this much needed addition to the Paw Park.
