🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions
If you’ve spent time at an off-leash park, you’ve probably seen it:A parent strolls in with a stroller 🚼 or […]
Located at 362-398 S Highlander Way, this dog park in Howell, Michigan is a popular spot for local dog owners. The park is well-maintained, clean, and designed to give your pup plenty of space to run, socialize, and burn off energy. It’s wheelchair accessible, and you’ll find pet-friendly trails and areas for both puppies and grown dogs to enjoy.
This park requires a key card for entry, as it is not tax-funded and operates on a reasonable fee system. While many enjoy its secure setting and daily visits, some users have reported inconsistent customer service experiences and occasional issues with aggressive dogs whose owners may not monitor them closely. Please ensure your dog is friendly and supervised during your visit.
Not for public
Locked gate. Have to have a key card. For a county dog park, that’s awful. I will never use. I’ll pay to go elsewhere.
Great dog park. My dog absolutely loves to come here and we usually come daily. Yes it costs money but that’s because it’s not funded by tax dollars which I think is pretty reasonable.
Clean, we’ll kept park. Our 4 month old Goldendoodle loves being able to run free and play with other puppies! Fee is very reasonable too!
UPDATE: Sadly, we ended our relationship with this dog park a few months after initial review was written. As our pup got older and needed (wanted) more area to run and moved into the the larger yard, trouble began. Now please understand, not all pets and owners are problems, but it seems the few ruin it for the majority. There are dog owners that take their very agressive dogs to run at this park, the kind that spot a very submissive, playful dog and go after them. Now, we know some dogs are like that, but when their owners totally ignore their pets behavior to have a conversation with another pet owner, that’s where the problem lies. Dogs will not learn that this is unacceptable behavior unless they are taught. It got to the point our sweet girl was standing between our legs more than playing. Why pay money for that? Be careful, please!
How much does it cost to go there once to see what they have? I can’t call them either
Wasn’t able to use the park. So I went to the animal shelter across the way to pay for access as I was informed that’s where you get the key cards. I noticed people were inside but the door was locked and no one answered the door. Then I called, again no one answered. Left a voicemail but no one called me back. Zero stars & NOT FRIENDLY/ PROFESSIONAL NOR WELCOMING.
