Enhancing Dog Parks with CORE Gravel and Grass Foundations
Dog parks are more than just open spaces — they’re hubs of activity where dogs can run freely, play with friends, and bond with their owners. But anyone who’s ever visited a well-loved dog park knows the struggle: muddy patches, worn-down grass, and high-maintenance upkeep can take a toll on these spaces. That’s where CORE Gravel and Grass solutions come in, offering a game-changing way to create durable, eco-friendly, and pet-approved parks that everyone can enjoy.
Why CORE Gravel and Grass Are Perfect for Dog Parks
If you’re designing or upgrading a dog park, here’s why CORE products should be at the top of your list:
-
Built to Handle Heavy Use
Between playful pups and their owners, dog parks see a lot of foot (and paw) traffic. CORE Gravel and Grass grids provide a sturdy foundation that holds up over time, reducing wear and tear and keeping the park looking great.
-
No More Mud!
Rainy days can turn traditional dirt or grass parks into muddy messes — a nightmare for both dogs and their humans. The permeable design of CORE Foundations eliminates mud by allowing water to drain naturally, so your park stays clean and usable year-round. Say goodbye to muddy dog parks and hello to functional, durable spaces that also reduce flooding risks.
-
Eco-Friendly by Design
Sustainability is key for modern dog parks. CORE Foundations are made with recycled materials and promote natural drainage, minimizing runoff and supporting the local environment. It’s a win for the planet and your community, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly dog park materials.
-
Low-Maintenance Solutions
Say goodbye to constant repairs and replanting. Once installed, CORE Gravel and Grass systems require minimal upkeep. The grids stabilize the surface, preventing erosion and ensuring the park remains functional and attractive. Low-maintenance dog park surfaces mean more time for fun and less time for repairs. Plus, the grids offer natural weed suppression, helping to keep the park tidy and functional.
-
Aesthetic Flexibility
Whether you want the lush look of grass or the practicality of gravel, CORE Foundations can be customized to fit your park’s style and needs. Mix and match to create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful, enhancing dog park design to suit your community’s vision.

How to Use CORE Products in Dog Parks
CORE Gravel and Grass grids are versatile enough to enhance every corner of your dog park. Here are some ideas:
Pathways and Walking Trails
Create clean, slip-resistant pathways with CORE Gravel. These paths remain stable even after heavy rains, making them perfect for guiding visitors through the park. Durable dog park surfaces like these ensure safe and enjoyable strolls for both dogs and their owners.
Play Areas
For open play zones, CORE Grass offers the durability needed to withstand digging, running, and rolling around. The grids protect grass roots, ensuring the surface stays lush and soft for playful pups. This is essential for improving dog park functionality and keeping high-traffic areas in top shape.
Relaxation and Seating Zones
Gravel grids are ideal for seating areas, keeping them dry and clean even after a storm. These zones offer a practical, low-maintenance solution for pet owners to relax while their dogs play. Stable dog park seating areas enhance the overall experience for visitors.
Agility Courses
Design stable, resilient surfaces for agility equipment with CORE Grass grids. Their flexibility allows for creative course layouts, while the durability ensures they’ll hold up to active dogs. This is perfect for enhancing dog park design with engaging, functional features.
Installation Tips for Dog Parks
To get the best results, follow these tips when installing CORE products:
Prepare the Base: Ensure the ground is leveled and compacted before laying down grids for a long-lasting foundation.
Select the Right Materials: Use pea gravel for CORE Gravel grids as it’s gentler on dogs’ paws, and choose a hardy grass variety for CORE Grass systems to handle high traffic. Durable dog park surfaces start with quality materials.
Consider Accessibility: Design pathways and play zones to accommodate all visitors, including those with mobility challenges, ensuring an inclusive dog park experience.
