About this park

Ten fully fenced acres at the south edge of town, split into separate large- and small-dog yards. The big-dog side runs a half-mile loop around an open field, with shaded benches spaced along the perimeter and a portable restroom outside the gate.

The highlights

Reviewers consistently call this the best dog park in Ann Arbor and credit the half-mile perimeter loop for letting owners walk while their dogs sprint. The size keeps crowds spread out even on busy evenings, which regulars credit for the calm, fight-free vibe.

The community

A self-policing crowd that picks up after itself and steps in fast on rough play. Visitors passing through on I-94 mix with daily regulars, and the small-dog yard runs quieter than the big side most afternoons.

Before you go

Bring your own water. Bowls are scattered around but there are no working spigots, so plan to fill before you go. The lot is small with no real overflow, and the field gets soggy in spring after a snowmelt.
