Can I allow my dog to run off-leash in a City park?
No, dogs must be leashed at all times in the City of Yankton and in the parks. Since August 2009, the City of Yankton has offered the Marne Creek West Greenway Off-Leash Dog Area, located on West City Limits Road. At the off-leash area, there is a small dog area and a separate large dog area where owners may bring their dogs inside the fenced areas and then take them off their leash for socializing and exercising.

How do you work with outside sports organizations or an organization that wants to do an event?
The City of Yankton works with outside sports organizations by providing facilities for recreational use. The City supplies materials (trash cans, picnic tables, and other items) when the organizations host large tournaments. For organizations that want to organize an event and host it on City property or right-of-way, there is a special events handbook filled with valuable information and then a special events permit application needs to be filled out and turned in to the City's Recreation and Events Manager. Special events information can be found on the special events webpage.
