The dog park is pretty nice but don’t go on a day after a rain because the park will be full with mud and water ponds. There are separation between small and big dogs. The reason I gave a 3 starts is because the last time I went there, there were a few owners with their dogs that were not neutered and there are dog poop around the parks. But it is a nice dog park if you want to give it a try.
Excellent dog park located downtown! The first dog park has two separate areas for small and large dogs. Both areas have a shared area in the middle with water access and pavilion, plus a few tables. Each separate area has a few obstacles for your pup to practice agility! There is also a completely separate fenced-in area nearby for dogs of all sizes together. No seating or obstacles in this park, but the grass was in better condition. This park can get busy so be prepared! Public restrooms available near the audubon center and near the rock climbing wall. Multiple different parking areas as well.
Great dog park! Can be overly crowded at times, but my pups LOVE it. We enjoy that we can get outside & play in basically any weather because of the turf.
This park got a 4 ONLY because my poodle didn’t get muddy in March. There was a small turf area because the larger connecting areas were chained off. There were 2 agility items in that place but I expected more. The internet boasts an agility course so not sure if that is due to areas being closed? It is a busy place!! Surprisingly, the dogs were all getting along well for a small space, People were friendly too.
It’s not known to be the best of areas growing up here but, clearly they are working on it, so I wouldn’t go alone on non busy days ..also the road and bridge were completely torn up due to construction.
Wonderful dog park! Especially since it was moved. My lovely wife and I have been coming to this park since they began building it. We simply love it. It’s a surprising little nature oasis in downtown Columbus. The Audubon Center is a great resource for city folks. Paths are well kept, asking with the workout course and rock climbing wall. All free!
