Mueller Dog Run
Tidy neighborhood gravel run for a quick weekday outing
About this park
Mueller Dog Run is a compact, no-frills neighborhood run: rectangular, gravel-surfaced, and sized more for small dogs than large sprinters. Has a water station and waste stations, and it stays cleaner than most urban runs.

Mueller Dog Run reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers call the Mueller run small but clean, with a working water station and two waste stations that keep the space tidier than most urban runs. The gravel surface means dogs can sprint and chase without the mud that comes with grass.

Before you go
The gravel surface means no mud, but it can get smelly in heat. Dogs can sprint and chase here, but it's not big enough for long runs; treat it as a quick weekday outing.
Frequently asked
- How big is the run?
- Small. Dogs can sprint and chase, but one reviewer clocks the straight line at under ten seconds before a fence ends it.
- What is the surface?
- All rock and gravel, which keeps the mud out and the dust in. One reviewer found broken glass in the gravel and their dog needed surgery, so a walk of the ground before letting a dog loose is worth the minute.
- Is there water?
- A water station is on site and works, and reviewers name it as the saving grace of an otherwise bare run.
- Is Mueller Dog Run good for a long outing?
- No. It works as a weekday quick stop rather than a destination, and reviewers who need real running space call it undersized for the traffic it gets and smelly in the heat.
