Shaggy Pines Dog Park
Private membership park with wooded trails, a pond, and a clubhouse
About this park
Shaggy Pines is a private, membership-based dog park in Ada with multiple fenced areas covering different terrain: open fields for fetch, wooded trails for sniffing, and a pond for swimming. A clubhouse on-site offers dog bathing stations, towels, treats, and beverages. Temperament testing is required before membership, which keeps the population of dogs consistently sociable. Monthly events and classes run through the year.
Amenities
Shaggy Pines Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayMembers consistently praise the variety of terrain, the temperament-tested dog population, and the attentive staff. The pond swimming and wooded trails set it apart from standard fenced runs. Monthly events and a responsive ownership team are frequently mentioned.
Membership produces a stable, known crowd. Regulars attend frequently and know the staff by name. New members are welcomed but the vibe is more country club than drop-in park.
Best for
Before you go
Membership and temperament testing are required before your first visit. Dogs that need water access should come in warmer months when the pond is in use. Key-access entry means you can't visit without an active membership.
