Ollie’s Off-Leash Dog Playground in Coralville, Iowa
Ollie’s Off-Leash Dog Playground offers dog owners in Coralville, Iowa a unique, wooded retreat for their furry friends. Located next to a quiet cul-de-sac and adjacent to a whimsical playground, this small, fenced dog park sits on a steep, lightly wooded hill providing plenty of natural scents and exploration for dogs. It’s especially suited for dogs who enjoy a bit of hill climbing and off-leash freedom in a shaded setting.
The park is wheelchair accessible and provides a trash can at the exit for waste disposal. For humans, there’s a relaxing two-seater swinging glider to enjoy while dogs play. However, there are no trails for walking, so visitors should come prepared to stand or use the glider. Please note that water and dog waste bags are not provided, so be sure to bring your own essentials. The park requires attention if you have a large or small dog, as there are reports of gaps in fencing and a gate that may allow determined pups to escape. Located right next to a quirky playground, it’s convenient for families but requires close supervision.

Reviews
Not an ideal park unless you want to go up and down steep hills
This shouldn’t be considered a park. You go in and then you have a steep ravine on the right side of you and there’s nowhere to go but down and up the other side. I do not recommend this park.
This is a small, fenced, lightly wooded dog park. There is a trash can for waste just by the exit, and a lovely two-seater swinging glider for humans to sit in while a dog wanders. The woods give a dog plenty to sniff. There is no trail for humans, so plan to stand if the glider is full. Bring your own water and dog waste bags.
This is a small, wooded dog park on a hill. It worked for my needs. I liked that no one was there & the location was quiet. The back fence is questionable if you have a runner. Easily can be jumped or stepped over for an extra large pup. Located right next to an adorable little playground!
I visited this park last summer and compared to the other dog parks nearby this one is not as nice. There was a person sitting in a van appearing to just be watching the park/playground which made me a little uneasy. It is very steep and I couldn’t get down the hill to follow my dogs very easily. The old carpet on the grass was strange, and my dogs are small and curious so after a short time in the park they easily slipped through a gap in the gate and ran around on the street. The street is a cul-de-sac and was not a busy intersection by any means, but it was nerve-wracking until I got my dogs back in the car due to not knowing the neighborhood and worrying about cars coming. Overall it’s nice it exists but dis not work as an offense dog park for me or my dogs. PS: I found the clown themed playground creepy.
