Ithaca Dog Park is an official dog park in Ithaca, New York and is part of the New York State park system. The park was initially developed by the Tomkins County Dog Owners Group Archived 2021-12-26 at the Wayback Machine, the city of Ithaca, and the New York State Parks Commission.

The park is located on the Festival Lands, adjacent to the Allan H. Treman State Marine Park at the head of Cayuga Lake, with parts of the park on state park land and other parts on city land. The beach, which is on state land, has a relatively underdeveloped shoreline and is used by dogs for swimming. The park land was created when dredging spoils were dumped there in the 1960s. The park is fenced around two separate areas and includes a city water supply, child-sized swimming pools for dogs, shaded tree areas, benches and picnic tables and is frequently visited by birdwatchers, joggers, skiers, picnickers, and strollers.
