Best Dog Park Sterling Heights Near Me

Alex Woodle: Well maintained dog park with multiple sections for the various sized dogs. Not much natural shade but they do have tents and some covered picnic tables.

Madison Marcus-Paddison: My car was broken into here (smashed the window) and Madison Heights PD and another patron told me this has happened multiple times at this dog park. No signs, no security, no cameras. It happened so fast, I bet the person who did it was parked and watching as we exited the vehicle and were out of ear shot. If you choose to go here, maybe walk. The city knows about this problem and is unwilling to do anything to change it.

Deanna Thiebert: Please add to the title that this is a park requiring payment and registration to enter. It's too much driving and teasing for us dog owners who like to visit various dog parks. Happy to donate but tired of not knowing where we can go.

Shay Luv: I love red oaks I can enter with my oakland county permit and my dogs go everyday they look forward to it :) there ty Red oaks

Marcus Gilbert: The dog park is great! Lots of room and fun toys for the dogs to play with

Margarita Ortiz: My dogs love it

De Vaughn Elledge: I have been to this location twice and I really like it. There are multiple dog runs and they are all spacious. The runs can accommodate many dogs and are mostly grass. There is a small picnic style section for humans that is covered inside of the run. My only gripe, and why I only gave them 4 stars, is that shaded areas are hard to find. Very few trees on the property. Hot days, especially full sunshine are hard on all visitors to the park.Dog-friendliness: Total dog park. All grass and very little rocks or concrete, except for the small picnic area. The dog runs are very spacious and many dogs of all sizes can enjoy.

Fristlady j: This park has a lot of negligent owners that bring an aggressive dogs and they just stay in there like they don’t know what to do If I could read it zero I would if you’re responsible dog owner then do not take your dog here!!!

Doug Jones Jr: Really clean, big, plenty of seating, however not nearly of activities for the dogs 🐕‍ 🐕🐩

Undisputed Truth: I took my Dog here yesterday I'm visiting from Arizona. People here weren't friendly I was the only black guy there. A lot of white people staring at me didn't speak. No water fountains for the dogs. Muddy. Klickish very Klickish so I won't be coming back here

Stiver Cooper: Buster loves this park. All his friends go here.

Kim Travis: For the first time being at a dog park it was really nice. They had water hoses. And huge area's for the dogs. Covered picnic tables.Playground: Yes Off-leash dog area: Yes Picnic tables: Yes Barbecue grills: No …More

Brian: Great, big park, with a lot of people. Don’t mind paying the 5$ day pass for it.

Danielle Whitley: Nice and spaceous park but it's they seem to always have one of the sections closed

Schwarb: Great to exercise your dog, have seen some less diligent owners and dog attacks here but overall good place to go. The park has been improved over the last few years.

Katarina Kimmelmann: Our dog just loves it over there

Dawn Spratke: Park attendant was awesome and the dog loved it

Ted Jung: Such a nice dog park. I get to see a lot of cool dogs and meet nice people.

Jozzi Billingslea: Very nice place with a good amount of dogs to play with yours.

Aleks: Worst park grounds ever. More mud than grass. I don’t understand the other reviewers claiming it’s well maintained

Angela Mead: This dog park is okay, pretty basic. It is not open to the public, but sometimes you can get in if the gate is left open. Not much but fenced-in open space for the dogs to run in. Needs more dog play options and more people seating options. A couple of trees would be nice, too. There is one bench and a drinking fountain on each side, small dog and large dog sides. Gets very muddy when wet.

Chad Parker: On the small side, not frequented by many dogs, however is well maintained.

James Tomlinson: The dog park has popped bags and trash cans. There is also toilets during the late spring, summer, and early autumn. There is a drinking fountain for dogs a people.

shelia gusmano: My dog just simply loves it she meets new friends all the time

Salvatore Gianino: Great place for them to run! Obstacles too!

claudia: [important]There’s no shaded area so the sun is just burning you and your dog the land isn’t level and in the winter/spring there’s mud piles your dog will get all muddy and people will put their big dogs in the small dog area to avoid mud or if they just feel like it seemingly also there’s zero workers so if someone brings an aggressive dog (happens often) 9 times out of 10 you have to leave because the owner won’t do anything this place is horrible and needs a lot of work

Daniel Yarnell: NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! It is a well kept very nice, but you need a key card to unlock the magnetic gates. The up side if you are like me and traveled out of the way to get here is. There is a nice trail that goes down by the river. You can't let your dog run but a nice place to take em for a walk.

Mary Armstrong: Some people hop the fence to get in. But it's a good dog park overall

Bethany Landenberger: A very nice open place to to have your dog run around! People are really nice there and there's a new community garden right next door!

Christopher Bush: Neat little park, fences are in good condition and there's even a few agility pieces in one of the runs. There are also well maintained restrooms for owners.

Katie Ryan: The only plus side is they have bathrooms.

C M: Nice park! My dogs love it there. PLEASE NOTE: EVERYONE entering this park MUST have a key fob pass that they have purchased, and your dogs MUST be registered with Macomb County and the City of Utica....having shown proof of all of the required vaccinations. You cannot get a fob for entry to this park anywhere except through the City of Utica Clerk's Office. People have noticed others sneaking in, hopping the fences. Just remember, we (the paying, actual, legal members of this park) will call the police if we see anyone do this ... I KNOW I WILL FOR SURE. AND I WILL TAKE YOUR LICENSE PLATE OR TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU, TOO. LOL... Do yourself a favor and register your dog and get a legitimate membership to this park. You'll pay more in legal fees once you're arrested. Sorry to be a "Karen", but this is for the dogs and the members safety!!

Tom Orlando: It would have probably been better if there was people there. Plus I wish it was a little easier to get daily passes or yearly

Lioness Lynn: This is a great park for your dogs to run around.

Aaron Ruggero: It was nice but just not anybody there when I went I mean there is always that but they need more shade!!!! And pionic tables with big umbrellas or covered ares and plant trees after u rototill the dirt

Renee Rudover: Great place for dogs to run and play!

Steve K. Laskowski: Great place to take your pet dog for a walk.

Stephanie Stanton: Really nice dog park. Secure with lots of room to run and play. So far all dogs (and owners) we’ve encountered have been good natured and well socialized. No issues at all.

James Alexander: Pioneer Park is a clean, well designed, and comfortable park for dogs and their humans. There are two washrooms for humans and a drinking fountain for dogs and their humans.

Bushra Raheema: Took my puppy to this dog park a woman let us in. One of the people there had an attitude with us when we were trying to leave without a membership key that we had no idea about. Thought this was a public dog park.

Steven Martinez: Great place to take your big large dogs

JerrBear Tactical: This is a wonderful dog park. Very clean and well maintained. Kathy and her staff keep you informed of any and all updates for your pet to keep all our dogs safe 😁

Sean Djordjeski: Great dog park, great people. Never have any issues with anyone of their dogs there. People are pretty attentive to their own dogs.

Alexandra Tanasescu: Very spacious, almost always very few people, brick and mortar-inside the building new built restrooms,11 benches, sun umbrella, separate small doggie enclosed area, 9 trees, very cool dog water fountain and water bottle water fountain. Absolutely a great dog park for the price.

Amanda N: Dog park is nice, just wish they had cameras so we can see if there’s dog there before we drive out there. Been here a few times and we are the only ones there.

Blackheart Lives: We go every for the fireworks show and every year we are not disappointed. They always have a great live band, they always have a good variety of food truck options. They have plenty of security, and if you park in the right spots, you will be out quickly.

Cindy W: Large yard, always has water and toys available for use, and it's always clean.

Ron: It is a breath of fresh air to walk into this store and find what you are looking for with out the usual problems at other stores. I like shopping here.

Manuel Garcia: Really big park, you need a fob

Christopher Lee Wojtylo: Love this place!

fred diparvine: Very friendly people. The park is well kept and very quiet. Nice size too.

Larry Kiel: It's a nice park but they need to fill in the low spots as they stay filled with water and the dogs are getting sick when they drink that water twist of fate

Susan LaLonde: Love the Dog Park. Everyone is so friendly.

Angela Dawson: Our puppy loves meeting other dogs and their humans. Plenty of room to run, play and have fun.

Dave Silver: Not very much shade and lots of bugs. The people and dogs are great!

Ronald Bish: Very nice place to walk your pooch, but we are seeing allot of people to lazy to pick up after there pet, PLEASE PICK UP WHAT YOUR PET LEAVES BEHIND

Ryan “Sketch” G: This dog park is HUGE!Very clean, well stocked with dog fountains, poop bags, and garbage cans as well as things to keep the dog active and engaged.The property is fully fenced in and in order to access the park, you HAVE to have your dog fully licensed and have purchased special key fobs to enter the gates.This is a great feature to ensure all dogs entering the premises are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and healthy.

Jeff Jack: Looks nice ...lots to do at park so its not just a dog park. Plus I don't own a dog so I never really

Eric L: This is a widespread parkland that aside from excellent areas for exercise offers facilities for restrooms and moderate shelter if required. There is also extended parking to ease transport of personal items for the event.Many fields are surrounding the main entry including offerings of baseball, softball, soccer and occasional groups playing their own games on the side. I'm not positive but I do believe they have a sandbox play place as well.As far as the atmosphere, it's parents shouting at their kids trying to play but I imagine that's everywhere these days, lol. I was there for a softball game my disabled son was in and I was stunned at the behavior of groups of other parents. I was ashamed...That said I was quite impressed with the field complex but be sure to bring a chair. Metal bleachers still get chilly below 70, lol.

sheila swafford: Our dog loved this park so much so that he didn’t want to leave. There is plenty of room to run and play places to sit for the two legged creatures even a place to come in out of the cold, love this park.

scott martyniuk: Was there 2 12 23 for our second time it was very nice. Good weather also.

Cathy Schneidt: Nice, Free dog park to take your dog to play. Hut for people to stay warm in n the winter.Dog-friendliness: Most all the dogs are friendly and get along with everyone.

Gabriella Teceno: I have been going to the park since I was a child and let me tell you, not much has changed. This dog park was always a free-for-all, and there were zero rules. Any dog can be there, and there does not have to be any proof of vaccination status, spay or neuter status, and no requirement for obedience training.Nothing has changed. Luckily I have never had any issues with any of my dogs but I’ve witnessed countless negative interactions with both humans and animals. This dog park is ran very dangerously because there is zero proof of anything and zero protection in any regard.A lot of other dog parks have restrictions and requirements such as:-proof of up to date vaccinations-needs to be spayed or neutered-dog needs to pass an obedience coursePeople may think that’s it’s ridiculous but that’s the safest way.It would prevent so many altercations, fights, disease spreads, injuries, etc.The only reason I gave 2 stars is because I personally have never had an issue anytime I went there.

Shenkosky: 1. No rules2. No cameras3. No water in the winter.4. No shotsThey removed the cameras last year because it's easier that way on the city. Do yourself a solid avoid at all cost or pay the vet bills as they just take off an leave an nobody but you is left holding the bag! Sadly most visitors to the park our good but the off chance bad encounters leave your dog open for a very bad time an the city has no real way to enforce the rules an those with aggressive breeds know this an when you call the cops they will do nothing at all. Very Dangerous don't risk your dogs life I was told two dogs have been killed this year alone.

Mary Bouchard: Dog-friendliness: It was a great trip for our first time

Kat C: This place has provided my dog a safe place to have fun and be free with all her other doggy pals.

Alexandra Tanasescu: Yuri loves this dog park,it's her most favorite place in the world.

Abby: You get what you give here. Be respectful of the other dogs, humans and the land, you'll be ok. If your dog is mean, do NOT bring it to a dog park please. Don't forget to pick up after your pooch!

Sarah Kalich: Took our mini Aussie the other day and he loved it! Tons of shade, benches and water bowls. There were also really cute tires and things for the dogs to play with but my dog just wants to run. Will definitely come back!

scott carlson: My wife and I love bringing our bulldog and hound there ,great people, friendly dogs to play with.

Nigel Rentz: Perfect little dog park, right outside the community center.

Jen Marie: My dog loves going here. The dogs are always a blast and she has so much fun. They have tons of water dishes that you can fill to give your dog fresh water. They have a water hose for that.They have bags for you to pick up after your dog, too. I rarely see poop that is left there, most people are quick to clean up after their dogs. There is a lot of shade, too. The best time is to go in the evening, when they are most busy!

Michelle Lula: Great fun and freedom for the pups

Charlene Sollman: Need clean water bowls and toys but, good park for a free one!

Mike McCullough: Just perfect!

Care L Bear: Love this park, have 3 Goldens & my house butts up to a different dog park. I drive to this one, bc my Goldens who are vry friendly can just run and play

Brynne Gniewek: Big and small the dogs can run and have fun.Playground: Yes Public restrooms: Yes Off-leash dog area: Yes Picnic tables: Yes Barbecue grills: No …More

Nick Petty: Nice dog parents, 24 hours open. It's a good place to let the dogs be dogs with other dogs.

WOOFGRRRBARK: edited 9/8/2020: my dog has passed since this review and these are some of the best pictures I had of him, taken right at this dog park. love your pets unconditionally :)

Robert Hannon: Nice

Jessica Juel: If you're looking for a fantastic place to take your furry friend, look no further than this dog park! Here are just a few reasons why I think this park is absolutely amazing:Great amenities: This dog park has everything you need to keep your pup happy and healthy. There's plenty of space for them to run around, water stations to keep them hydrated, and waste bags so you can clean up after them.Well-maintained: The park is always clean and well-maintained, which makes for a pleasant experience for both you and your dog. The staff do a great job of keeping the park tidy and making sure that all of the amenities are in good working order.Safe environment: Safety is always a top priority when it comes to our furry friends, and this park is no exception. The park is securely fenced in, so you can rest easy knowing that your pup can run around and play without any risk of running off.Socialization opportunities: Dogs are social creatures, and this park provides plenty of opportunities for your pup to meet and play with other dogs. This is a great way for them to burn off some energy and make new friends.Fun for humans too: Not only is this park great for dogs, but it's also a fun place for humans to hang out. There are benches and shaded areas where you can relax while your pup plays, and it's a great place to meet other dog owners and make new friends.Overall, I can't recommend this dog park enough. It's a fantastic place to take your furry friend, and I guarantee that both you and your pup will have a blast!

Jennifer Curtis: 24 acres of fenced in playground they loved it. There are lots of gates and fences blocking each section so your pup can never go too far from you. There is open spaces with grassy hills, paths through wooded areas, and ramps for them to jump in the lak. Plenty of benches for mom and dad to sit and watch when they meet s friend they want to run with. We will be back!For the path to the lake stay far left into the trees over the hills there is a path to the lake at the end by the handicap parking lot. Or you can go through the woods also just stay left.

Gayle Reid: Got my dog, Blacky, from Iowa. Poor thing’s used to comin & goin at will, doors? No doors open barn. Wide open spaces in Iowa. Best thing i ever did for his suffering spirit was takin him to Orion Oaks Dog Park. Amen.

Jose Antonio Almazan Lopez: Best Dog Park

Keith Badgley: Great variety of spaces to walk and let the dog run

Lisa Velasquez: I came here with my daughter and her two dogs and my dog. It was very clean and a bunch of friendly pups with their. They all had a good time!!!

Adam Thomas: Doggo heaven!

Alex Woodle: Very nice layout with multiple sections for large and small dogs. Open fields, woods, trails, and dog dock.

Doug Smith: great place

james hamilton: The users of the dog park are friendly and mindful of the rules.It is a great place to take your dog 🐕

Cee Cee C: Lots of safe Fenced in area for dogs off leash.

Pamela Wild: Best around

Brianna Williams: Our absolute favorite dog park, well worth the drive! Plenty of room for playing fetch or just running around in the woods. There's a doggy dock for diving during the warmer months too.

Jonathan Meeuwsen: Very well maintained park with low fee to keep it running. Water and bathrooms available during warmer months. Dock at the lake also seems well cared for.My energetic dog has plenty of space to get his sprints in away from the crowded areas.Most owners follow the rule of taking care of your own dogs messes in the less busy areas of the park. The busiest area may still require you to keep your eyes peeled.

Deanna Thiebert: Membership needed. Please add this to the title. It's hard for dogs & their parents driving from park to park to not be allowed entry.

Scott Anttila: Dog-friendliness: This is a dog park. They have a watering station, tennis balls, ball chuckers, seating, Even woods for the dogs are running.

Joe Spinella: Fantastic dog park now with drainage. Been taking our dog here on and off for over 5 years and it’s certainly been a work in progress given the nearby condo construction. However some very passionate dog lovers have turned this place into a pooch paradise - kudos!

Kathy Henry: I have never regretted any money spent on public parks & rec until now... This place is a disgrace, and the fact they ask you for $75 a year or whatever it is, is an even bigger disgrace. Maybe it has dried up by now but we tried to go there week after week this spring, even into June, and it was not just a mud pit, it was lakes of standing water. Which of course dogs will drink and next thing you know they'll have giardia. Head to the clean (well, it is a dog park...) and usable Red Oaks - it's a lot less expensive and the pass gets you in to ALL the county parks, including Orion Oaks Dog Park, which is definitely worth the drive.

Dan Lindholm: Large area for dogs tp run. Seporate wooded area with paths. Seporate small dog area.

Peggy Oconnor: This park smell like sewage always soaking up I don't think it's good to take your dogs there I'll never take him back be careful with you do

Lisa M (Llm): Used to be a fantastic place to go let the pups run. Private, key fob only. However it started flooding last fall, then the flooding froze over, and after the melt off is now just a mud hole that’s only going to get worse with spring rain. Best part was an adjacent area of woods in the back that was wonderful with lots of trees and winding paths but it’s completely under water and totally ruined. Such a shame that the city let this place go after collecting fees. I renewed in hopes it would change but I don’t see much response from the city, so other than a drought I don’t see how it could.

David Hickey: Right now in the season it's very Muddy and lots of standing water. We let the dog have at it and she had a blast. Can't wait to come back and see the wood trails when they dry up a bit more.Thanks to whomever donated the ball throws and leaves water out

Dan Dwyer: Jersey had lots of fun playing with the other dogs

Adam Alsnayyan: ***Requires membership with key entry***I have not been to this dog park other than going there only to find out you need a membership and key. Posting this here so others are aware before wasting their time.

Omar Radwan: Great people and dogs, but always flooded and never dry. I want to take my pup more often but not have to give a bath after every trip. I've only been there once in 3 months where it was dry, but frequently drive by to see if dry.

Ryan Geyer: Really great wide open space for your dog to run around and play with other dogs! They just have MAJOR drainage issues which need to be fixed because it's been an absolute mud mess almost every time we've gone. Your dog will love it, but be mentally prepared to need give them a bath afterwards!

Michael Daly: It's a great place, was a little wet today, but great.

Kyle LaPorte: Nice park! But my little dogs can escape at the entry gates. My only complaint!

Adam Whitt: Very nice park and most of the members I’ve interacted with are all very nice. Things to note: you cannot get into this park without a key fob (you must pay an annual fee via RO city hall and provide proof of vaccination) and you cannot get out without a key fob. This is ideal for more than a few reasons but the key one being the fact that all of the dogs are up to date on vaccines. There’s a large open field for dogs to run and play in in addition to wooded trails. They have tennis balls, water, washing stations and above all people clean up after their dogs. I honestly would’ve paid considerably more than $60/year to get this type of amenity within a few minutes from my house.

Annie Prevost: I love taking my pooch here. Exploring in the woods is super fun when it's not ALL mud. When there's other dogs there, my Daisy has so much fun playing chase. There's lots of places to sit, a water station for drinks or hosing off, usually nice people... just have to be careful because some owners don't intervene like they should when their dogs are getting aggressive. Otherwise, I recommend it!

Benjamin Abraham: Alright lot of room

Joe V: Our pup eddie loves this place! especially the trails out back.

Patricia Sweet: My husband & I sat and watched all the dogs running and playing in the park. Plenty of room for several dogs to use this park at one time. Several faucets to fill up bowls for water. There is a picnic table for owners to sit on. Entrance is double gated so your furbabies don't run out in the road. I would feel safe using this park.DPS 4/9/21 🐾💗🐾

Scott Aaronson: Rarely is anything as good of a deal as this dog park. 60 bucks for unlimited access and my dog absolutely loves it. Beautiful back area with trees where she can run around and chase squirrels and a few acres in the front thats grass where she can socialize with other dogs.

Denise McQueen: Lathrop Village you should be ashamed. This is not a dog park

youtan: couldn't find it because I couldn't tell it apart from a tennis court. quite literally the worst dog park I have ever been to. its all cement with a couple broken poles. no wonder no one is here.

Sequoia Parks: Boring … no dogs lol

Andrea Matias: No está cool que sea cemento y que cobren 😅

Yannetta Baker: Nice , Relaxing 😌

Tisha Post: I like this cute Park. Very nice place for your dogs to play.

Honey Bee: A dog park should have grass no cement. It also should be divided in two sections.. one part for small dogs and the other one for large dogs.This is an extremely poor planning. It looks like the took a tennis court and make it into a dog park. On top of that the days are divided.. some for small some for large dogs. You would thing that Latrhup Village been kind of a boujie place they would have a better dog park. Even detroit have a more suitable dogs parks for our four legged friends. I wonder where all the tax money goes. Because you better believe we pay a lot in taxes. I want a better dog park with grass and trees because our dogs are family too not just dogs.
