Ferndale Dog Park (Membership Required)
Ferndale Dog Park is a membership-required park featuring a fenced area where dogs can run and play. It offers amenities such as picnic tables, public restrooms, and a playground nearby. The park is wheelchair accessible both at the entrance and parking lot. While it has some good features, visitor experiences vary, with some noting limited socialization opportunities for dogs and cleanliness concerns. It is a decent spot for dog owners who live locally and have memberships, but may not be ideal for visitors seeking a more bustling dog park environment.

Needs membership!
As a medical courier, who travels a lot I look for dog parts for my service animal that needs to stretch his legs. I find that these membership only dog parks really hinder the people that need them.
All star ratings are for the bathroom, not the establishment.
The Ferndale Dog Park was the closest Google had to “Wilson Park”.
The bathroom here is a pretty common luxury outhouse. I have seen worse, but this is nothing special. The good thing about it is that people are already expecting it to be smelly… so if you can brave it yourself… go for it…. good luck.
Cute fenced area for the dogs to run and play in. Public restrooms. Picnic area, playground, and soccer field. One star off because I found a bag of poop and a used ear swab. Bring hand sanitizer.
Great park! It’s changing a lot the years. In the past 3 years (since 2015) they have added a dog park, tore down a school, built 20 homes, removed a roller skate rink, not about to add a skate park. You can still go there and have a great time with the dog and Slackline!
It’s a mediocre park at best. The biggest issue is just that there aren’t many people bringing their dogs here so there’s not much of a good experience for your pet to socialize. Also my dog was once bit on the face while she was there, so that wasn’t very cool.
Overall, it’s a pretty underwhelming place.
Mark Twain dog park is just 15 minutes north of here and that park is always busy with so many dogs, responsible pet owners who are super friendly, and it’s huge.
Maybe this place will improve over time?
But anyone who thinks this is a great dog park probably has just never been to an actual good one.
