At the December, 2009 Reedsport City Council meeting, Champion Park was designated an Off-Leash Dog Park by the City Council.  This was recommended by the City's Parks & Beautification Committee as a way to utilize Champion Park and support the many dog owners living in Reedsport and the many visitors we have who are traveling with their dogs.  City staff installed three pet waste stations with bags and garbage cans and signs regarding the rules of the off-leash area. The old softball field fencing was removed, providing about 7 unfenced acres for dogs to run and play.
