McDonald Dog Park is located at 4100 N. Harrison Road just north of Tanque Verde. This off-leash area is found in McDonald District Park in northeast Tucson, and offers a designated off-leash area. Dogs must be on leash when outside the off-leash area. Enter the main gate to the Mc Donald Park and park anywhere along the north end of the parking lot. The Off Leash dog area is behind the ball fields under the trees inside the fence. Mc Donald Dog Park has plenty of grass, trees and shade. Like many dog parks, there are two areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. It is a little out of the way unless you live in the northwest part of Tucson, but it is a great park that dogs will be sure to enjoy
