Parks to know

Dixon Street Dog Park

Allentown

The city's dog park requires registration. A city announcement says Lehigh County residents can register for a key fob (reported at $25 annually), while registration for city residents with proof of residency is free. You'll need a current Lehigh County dog license and rabies and distemper records.

Check before you go: The announcement is undated, so confirm current fees, hours and requirements with Allentown Parks & Recreation.
