Betty’s Dog Park is a popular dog park in Jackson, Michigan, conveniently located downtown at 406 N Blackstone St. Known for its clean environment, friendly community, and attention to dog safety, it offers both locals and apartment dwellers a great space to let their dogs play and exercise. The park features separate areas for small and large dogs, plenty of grassy space, and mature shade trees, making it a comfortable spot even during sunny days.
Visitors enjoy accessible amenities including wheelchair-friendly paths and entrances, picnic tables, and ample seating like benches and tables, ensuring a pleasant visit for pet owners. While most reviews praise the responsible pet owners and cleanliness of the park, some visitors have raised concerns about occasional aggressive dogs, recommending vigilance when using the divided play areas. With street parking available nearby and a convenient downtown location, Betty’s Dog Park stands out for offering a pet-friendly, well-shaded space where Jackson’s dog lovers can gather year-round.
The park is often populated with hyperaggressive dogs that have no reason to be there.
After my 2 small dogs were attacked by the pit bulls that were somehow in the small dog area, I’ve decided to stay away.
Enter at your own risk.
What a great place to take your dog. A small dog area separate from the large dogs. Perfect location for apartment dwellers to exercise Fido!
This dog park has a great layout and plenty of shade! My dog had a great run at the park
Dolph loves the park!! Specially when other friends leave behind basket balls.
I wish there were some agility ramps or tubes for the dogs to play in. Maybe that is something we can work on as a community.
Tables and bench’s are always clean, more than enough for everyone and most owners keep control of their pets. Rarely see any waste left on the ground!
Great dog park downtown Jackson with 2 areas. 1 for small dogs under 30 pounds, and another for dogs over 30 pounds. Very clean with the exception of a couple of piles of poop. Plenty of seating, trees, grass, tables, and benches. We were the only ones here at 8 am. Only street parking.
