Paved lots with accessible spaces serve the amphitheater, stage, and Biergarten, and paved trails link major developed areas. The vast natural landscape includes longer distances and variable surfaces away from those hubs.

Dogs may use Water Works Park when controlled on a leash no longer than 6 feet; animals may not run at large except in an area specifically designated for off-leash use.

Ticketed concerts prohibit pets inside the concert venue except service animals, even though the surrounding public park ordinarily allows leashed dogs.
