Thomas Stafford Dog Park, located on E Fletcher St in beautiful downtown Alpena, Michigan, offers a welcoming space right on the waterfront for dogs and their owners. With a fully fenced area for off-leash play, it’s a favorite local spot for socializing—especially around 5pm when many dog owners bring their pups to play. The park is easily accessible, including wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, making it a pet-friendly and inclusive community destination.
This Alpena dog park features agility equipment like a running tube and platform for playful pups, a spacious area to run, a water fountain for thirsty dogs, and complimentary waste bags to help keep the park clean. Pet owners enjoy stunning waterfront views, friendly visitors, and plenty of space for dogs to exercise. Thomas Stafford Dog Park is conveniently located right behind the post office, making it a central and scenic spot for dog lovers to unwind.
I wish it had a separate section for small dogs and big dogs. Also, my tiny dog was able to fit through the bars of the fence.
Wish more people would clean up after pets better. Small but excellent views.
We were in the area. Stopped to let our dogs run. There is a tube to run through. A platform to run on and sit. Water fountain for dogs. Bags to pick up after the dogs if you forget yours. Plenty of space to run.
Beautiful off leash dog park right on the water in Downtown Alpena. It’s right behind the post office. Friendly dogs and people.
This dog park in Alpena is the best! If you want to socialize your dog/s bring them here around 5pm as a lot of dogs are here to meet, greet and play with your fur babies!
