Best Dog Park Ann Arbor Near Me

Freak4130: Huge dog park! The city doesn't maintain it very well. But its got a large and small dog area. There's alot of nice people. Trails that connect to two different parks right across the srteet from the dog park. Not to many aggressive dog issues for the most part.

Jessica Milner: Great place to take your dogs!

A Deakins: Great park for the pup!

Andre P: Lots of open space. Bring your own water as none is provided.

Rosemary Shugar: Must BYO water!Good place for both small and large dogs...separate areas, trash cans for poop bags that are provided!

Marilyn K: This is a very nice park that is usually filled with very nice people and well behaved dogs. They keep it up nicely, replanting grass seed where needed, and have benches throughout. I very much enjoy taking my dogs here. They also have multiple stations with bags and waste bins which is nice.

Bruce Geffen: A very good place to bring your dog to play and romp with other dogs! It needs a water faucet installed for dogs to drink from, as well as more work on the grounds.

Maxine Mercier: It's a large area for the dogs. They have a smaller part for smaller dog or older dogs who don't play rough.I took my one year old puppy who is a German shepherd, and he was excited to run free like he did. I only had one issue when my dog ran into an open part three dogs ganged up on him, and the owner didn't try to stop them. My dog was fine, but we left. It scares me to take him to any dog park due to him still shy with other dogs. He isn't aggressive, just nervous and full of joyful fun.Playground: Three separate areas for your dogs to play based on size.Restrooms: They have portable bathrooms there to use.Picnic area: They do have spots to sit in there, and you can sit on some spots of the grass or on a bench.

Joseph Cohoon: It was a pleasant place, good for behaved dogs. Not sure if I would take more than one fog per person, but still quite enjoyable.

lucy alegre: I would give it a 5 star if they fixed the mud problem where the grass is completely stripped away

Roger Tyras: It seems nice. It was pretty soggy, but that's due to the weather. A perfectly clear set of rules are posted at the entrance, but not everyone abides by them (the one about leashes in particular). I'll be going back after we're deeper into Spring.

Johann Majer: great place to take your dog n they can run as far n as fast as they want it's the best

Carol Langford: Decent fenced dog park with separate areas for dogs greater than and less than 20 pounds. This time of year there is a great deal of muddy area in the large dog park. Be prepared. Off-street parking.

Maria Zahn: Dogs getting bitten constantly because some of the owners do not know what they are doing. Another gentleman kicked a dog in the face his picture is attached below kennel cough is normal if you go here. Owners and dogs don’t have good recall steps in place I’m absolutely terrified to ever take my dog back. Constant posts on Facebook about how horrible this place is becoming and how many injuries have happened over the past few months.

Tiffanny M Walsh: We can't in good conscience bring our dog here anymore.Per the city & county regulations, dog owners need to register their dogs, submitting their vaccination records, and obtain a permit before coming to the dog park. However, the majority of owners who bring their dogs don't have the dog park permit.Since Christmas, there has been an increase in bigger dogs in the small dog only area, dogs attacking other dogs in both areas, and just this past week, a dog owner attacked a service dog in training.We can't put our dog at risk.Before the recent issues, we enjoyed bringing our dog here and loved that they separated the little dogs from the big dogs. We used to feel safe bringing him there to run around off-leash and make friends.I hope something is done to make it safe again.

Janet Jones: My dog was so happy to find a playmate!

mung dahl: Great place for dogs. Not so much for people. Ive encountered so many "Karens" here that its a little insane. The Karens dont care to wait patiently as those around them, the Karens will practically run you over if you just so happen to be in their walking path and these Karens are super rude if you say absolutely anything to them about their rudeness.

Craig Lounsbury: A great facility to let your dog run, play, interact with other dogs. I am there 10-14 times a week. Issues are rare but there is occasionally a scuffle.Playground: No playground.Restrooms: One porta-john.Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly since it's a dog park.Picnic area: No picnic area. Just a dog park.

Judy Echols: Lots of room, friendly people, well socialized dogs, and most people are great with picking up the poop. My dogs adore it. Also it has good tall fences to keep in the jumpers.

Grace Su Ming: Area for small and large dogs. No public restrooms and the water was off (went in the winter)

Mark Hanss: It's in fairly poor condition by Ann Arbor parks standards. I know, as I visited all of them while I worked for the parks department. It needs more shade in the summer, it could use a larger running area, and better soil management. Most is bare gravel and there's a ton of erosion at the main entrance closest to the parking lot.

Chris Donoghue: I've seen too many issues here to bring my dog. It's a nice park and all, but not worth it

Yuan Wang: A beautiful place for soccer, basketball, hiking, walking dogs, bicycle and barbecue

Filica Mohammed: My first visit here. Probably my last. My dog is 9 lb. Shih Tzu and Lhasa apso mixed. He was attacked within 4 minutes of us being on the other side of the gate by a cinnamon colored, white cheeks boxer.Beware 😭.The male owner did ask if my puppy was all right. I was far too traumatized by the experience it wasn't to get my dog to safety. I did not feel safe responding as I was alone. This experience was completely unexpected. I wish there was a park here for small dogs too. Maybe there is and I just didn't see it.

Leslie Notargiacomo: Clean and friendly.

jeronimo cortes: I go to play soccer there and the field looks good.

Mike Prince: Great place to let the dogs play a bit.

Flynn Darby: Nice park. The entrance area could use a little TLC and owners don't seem to pickup their dog's poo in the back of the park, but it's a nice area for our dog to run around.

Bruce Geffen: A very nice little place/space for dogs to play!

Rick Sutton: A lot of dog owners here are worse than their dogs.

Kosta El Greco: Great park with sereral miles of paved and dirt trails, small dog park, soccer and basketball fields, and a nice playground for kids.

Xion: Gorgeous. Everyone's super nice and inviting!

Lonny Johnson: Nice park, in a good location. We used the location for a work picnic.

Mike Malone: I love playing with the dogs there it's awesome Park

Dayonte Alexander: Nice

Chris: Nice people and dogs but fenced in area is a small gravel lot with some benches.

James Kopf: Neighborhood park with a pond and trails.

R Pierson: All dirt, mostly. Not much grass.

Monica Outcalt: Not the best dog park for small dogs.

jespenshade: A tiny park with very few dogs. Nothing special. Go to swift run instead

Brianna Reynolds: It's pretty small, the address gives you an apartment complex you got to look to find it.

joshua kiiing: Great dog park and trail

Areon Johnson: Not very big. Good for small or medium dog to get the zoomies out. It served it purpose well. Also 2 spaces with perimeter breaches.

Emily Rouse: Great place to bring the dogs!

Love Moonflower: It’s in an apartment complex lol

May Alz: Good place

Trevon Addison: Fish fish fish

Lonnie Thomas: Love it

Dean Hellerud: Great place to spend time with your pets

Bilz Debub: Take my dog here nice park

Checkered Flag Interactive Media: Its a nice space, better than nothing but by far is not a "dog park". They should install a set of agility equipment and make the space much larger.

Nitish Jaiswal: Great place

Sarah Wagner: Good space for our dog to run around, but it was almost entirely dirt. The dispenser was also out of poop bags and the garbage can was nearly full.

Alice Fox: Dog-friendliness: Dog parks near by

Radhika Ravi: I wish the grass in the dog park was mowed regularly. It is too tall and increases the risk of ticks. Otherwise, a good park.

Max Herzog: A nice place to walk with friends or go for a run. It's parks and paths like these that make me really love living in the area.

James Hutson: Nice little dog park, kinda hard to find but well worth the adventure

Tony Mignano: The restaurant was nice, the staff was fantastic, but the food was underwhelming for the price. The filet minion had little flavor and was somewhat gritty. The lobster wasn't hot and potatoes were bland and solid. We could potentially still give the restaurant another try with a different dish at some point.

Cecilia Roe: Best doggos in town!

Katy Robeson: Perfect for running.

Rita Seith: Cute park with lots of trails to explore!

LaDante Riley: Very peaceful nature park for dogs. There are two parks side by side. One for big dogs and one for small dogs. Parking is on the other side of the river/stream

David Fierro: Suns out tubes out!

Nancy Herlocher: Nice space with a view of the river 👍

Aman Saxena: Great place, lots of people there, but in the night it is quite peaceful and scenic.

Bruce Geffen: What fun walking along the Cascades and watching everyone have an excellent time!

Kumar Sambandan: Broadway Park borders Huron River....Great for a quick break!

Rodrigo Taboada: Hermoso parque para pasear y recorrer.Muchas personas van con sus mascotas a jugar!Está al lado del río, lo que lo hace un lugar muy interesante!

Anna: A beautiful Ann Arbor park on the Huron River featuring trails and a dog park.

Barbara Tucker: Super dog park, - good size, clean, separate area for small dogs, equipped with benches, bags for cleaning up, and even a couple of tennis balls.

diesel james: Nice park 2 separate dog parks 1 for big dogs and one for small dogs. Really nice park!

Suze Harrison: Nice dog park. My dogs loved it.

Anne f: Thought this place looked neat but the rules are naive with breed bias and misinformation. The temperament test is IGNORANT to say the least, and they are happy to let intact dogs run together off leash and young children hobble the grounds as long as you sign away liability . Bad news. Hard pass. Clearly they have good intentions for safety but don’t understand animal behavior.

Dina Mullins: A breed restriction is the absolute reason I’ll never visit this park! Shame, shame and more shame! Let’s remember it’s HUMANS who make a dog have a bad rep. Any and every dog breed should be able to visit this park, how sad this place discriminates against certain breeds. TRASH!

Jamison Palmer: Breed restrictions is a joke.

Owen Beyer: Paw Run Private Dog Park great dog park and a dog pond.

Chris Grant: A life saver in so many ways.

Mo Mo: Only one type of dog kills more than 50% of the people who suffer death from a dog attack. PIT BULL TYPE DOGS. Look it up, yourself. There is a narrative put out that pit bulls are "like" other dogs and is championed by a woman attorney named Ledy VanKavage. Picked up and amplified by "some" Humane Societies like Huron Valley Humane Society, the narrative is false, dangerous and unsubstantiated. Just today, there is a news story about "another" elderly woman mauled to death by a Pit Bull type dog.Do your own research! I am not affiliated with this dog park and have never taken my dog there. If I had a very small, toy type or puppy, I would Not take it there, because they have not provided a "small dog" area, which is important. But banning pit bull type dogs, is a very good decision on their part. I am co-creater of a public dog park and have researched and experience about this topic extensively. No, I won't leave my name for nut jobs to harass me, because I speak truth about Pit Bull Type dogs. Look it up yourself! There are many dog parks in the area. Just take your pit bull type dog to one of those, instead of condemning people that are just using good sense, based on easily found information.

Tyler Memmott: Nothing but happy faces! Hoomans and Doggos alike.

Karen Jansen: I find it truly offensive to provide a list of banned breeds and include any mix of those breeds. If a dog is able to pass a temperament test they should not be discriminated against. I rescued my lab mix (Lab and Staffordshire Terrier) dog 3 years ago and she loves nothing more than to play with other dogs. Since leaving an apartment complex with dogs and owners I know I have been looking for a safe place to take her to play. I was excited to see that you require temperament tests but immediately disappointed that she is not welcome simply because of who her parents were. In reference to the part owner and manager complaining about the 1 star reviews from people who have never been there-we want to come there, but are not allowed. I heard wonderful things from friends who are allowed into the park and want to be able to check it out myself. Due to your discriminatory policies I am not welcome.

Valerie Brummel: We are new members but already love the time we've spent here with our two doodles. The energy is markedly different than at the public city dog parks. City parks can be hit or miss, with some dogs that clearly do not belong at dog parks and irresponsible owners who are more interested in their phones than their dogs. At Paw Run, everyone (dogs and humans) was visibly calmer and happier. The humans were all engaged with their dogs, either walking alongside them or playing with them in the various areas of the park (trails, pool, agility course, tennis ball field, etc.). And because of the temperament testing, I was not nervous at all when my dogs ran up to greet other dogs they encountered or vice versa. The dogs that wanted to play together did so harmoniously. I look forward to many more fun-filled afternoons at Paw Run!

Aakanksha Choudhary: If there is a negative star I’d probably give them!Tell me about ghosting me after I told them my dog’s breed! No response after tens of follow up calls and emails. They should at least have the courtesy to let me know that they discriminate in dog breeds. Not sure what’s the point of temperament test.It’s a shame that even now American Bullys and Pitbulls are discriminated against.Not all dogs are good but not all dogs are bad. But this piece of land is definitely not for every dog

Jessalyn Houston: The fact that they require a temperament test but still have a list of breeds on their site that are ban from their location very clearly shows that they have don’t understand how to administer this test or understand dog temperament in any way shape or form. A dog is never a “bad/aggressive” dog because of its breed. Look to the human.

robert frey: As part owner and manager of Paw Run. I would like to say that the fact Google doesn't allow rebuttals to reviews is unfair. Almost all of our 1 star reviews are from people who object to our policies, but have never been here. No one walks into a McDonald's and asks for a Whopper, or a T-Bone. We are no different.

Matt Cyrulnik: Grateful for this place.

Jt Montero: Great fun for our dog!

Andy Deeb: Discriminates by breed on top of requiring a temperament test. Let any dog who passes the test join, regardless of breed.

Tim Andrews: Great little private park. Nice people and dogs.

Kari Brookhouse: The end of a fun, snowy day!

Josh Kolka: Cherry loves going. Everyone is friendly and well kept.

Barbara Hertlein: 👏👏👏👏👏every dog was a team player running, sharing and respectful. First time was a beautiful experience. Health records count.No pics this time.

Paul B: best place for your pup !

Brian Richards: Mountain bike trails are perfect for beginners, had a great time.Lots of other amenities besides the bike trails too

Alek K: A small park with a small lake, playground, covered picnic area and trails.

Claymore MacGregor: We mostly explored the biking trails. They offer a good amount of climbs and drops but it is meant more for summer riding as the trails get muddy easily.

Jorge Anaya: Nice place to take the dogs out

Kan Takeuchi: Nice playground.

Stan Wutka: Ann Arbor public park need I say more.

peter hawkins: Fun park

EKK: There is a trail for a short walk with kids around the pond.

Lauren Young: Great park

Filica Mohammed: My 9 lb dog was attacked by a cinnamon colored white sheet boxer. It presented as friendly at first and then attacked my little dog. I am more traumatized than my dog. I thought I was going to lose him. There was just dust and I saw him on his back and I won't return.

Gopal Shrestha: Quiet place to walk around, has 2 great soccer fields.

Leslie Notargiacomo: The kids loved it.

Eric Woodward: Perfect short mountain bike trails to get some riding in before work.

Francis McCarthy: Nice soccer fields and nearby dog park!

Wenbo Du: Decent park. Plentiful parking, has a restroom. Wish there was more of a playground area for kids. The pond is a pleasant place to take a walk or go jogging, as long as it's not too warm (in which case there will be mosquitoes). Noise from nearby highway can be a bit bothersome.

Elaina Sims: We've been loving Olsen Park for years. There's a bike and stroller-friendly paved walking path around the pond and fun climbing and play equipment. We've had birthday parties and cook outs in the covered pavilion that is available for rental for larger events, with restrooms available. I love hiking on the winding trails east of the pond. I remember when the park was just a old rock quarry, before. If you hike on the trails in the west side of the park, you'll find lots of cool rocks that are reminders of the geological history of the area.

Andrew Butz: Always other dogs here. the attitude amongst other dog owners is very honorable and helpful. Awesome culture to be a part of

Mike Prince: Great little park for family and furry ones.

Vicki Davinich: Open spaces, good paved walking path. Lots of birds to see. Beautiful lookout/fishing pier on pond.

wudup 444: Co was not the best hahaha
