Mary Warner Mack Dog Park (private)

Membership only dog park.
We love it here! We always meet wonderful and responsible dog owners and friendly canines here. The reason we joined this particular park, was the off-leash hiking trail that leads along the little lake, ravines and the plentiful forested area.
Worth every penny!
Plus you get to hose off your dog before getting back to your car.

This dog park is well worth the fee! There’s a nice typical grassy dog park area, which is big, and good by itself – the big bonus is the huge wooded portion, with trails. This is separated from the grassy area by a fence. It’s so great to let Abby run free, knowing the area is contained. In addition to that, there are openings in the fence that allow the dogs to get to the lake & swim freely! We can spend hours here, and Abby’s thoroughly tired out after. Even when there are lots of dogs here, the *12 acres* of space mean it doesn’t feel crowded.

There was a waitlist to join; I submitted our application & waited about 2 months. We prioritize our membership here; the money goes to a wonderful organization, actively bettering their corner of the world.

Pros:
– Access to the entire greenway with membership (since you have to add the dog park to a greenway membership), which is access to their events at member cost
– Water access within the park for the dogs
– Separate area for dogs under 30lbs
– Off leash trails (which are separated from the main park, so don’t worry your dog won’t be swimming without your permission)
– Friendly people and pups! We love the friends we’ve made here! 🥰
– Dogs in park SHOULD have all of their vaccinations and the greenway has a right to revoke membership if a dog has been reported as violent, etc (not sure if this has actually happened tbh).

Cons:
– No human bathrooms close by, you have to walk or drive from the dog park down a ways. Only inconvenient if you’re having a gotta run situation though.

Tips—
– Get on the waitlist, it didn’t take long for me to get a membership. You can do annual or 3-month commitment monthly.
– Trails can get muddy even after they’re reopened, so be prepared shoe wise.
– Similar note for your pup! It isn’t too bad, but prepare to clean your pup. Bring a towel and shampoo if you want. There is a hose outside the park to wash your pup.

You have to be a member to use and they need your vet records for your dogs but it’s worth it. Best NULL spent a month.

Love this place. We go every morning to tire out the pup before work. We pull in around 6:45-7am and it not busy. We go for the hiking trails. If looking to have dog socialization I’d go later in the day.
Only complaint is that after a little bit of rain or snow the dog hiking trails are closed for a few days. Sometimes the website will say it’s open and they will be locked or sometimes they will be unlocked, but the website says they’re closed.

This dog park is fantastic! The trail is great—well-maintained and perfect for walking with your dog. There are plenty of spots to stop and let them explore. I’m always a bit cautious about dog parks because of the horror stories you hear, but everyone here seems to take great care of their dogs, and the play is always friendly and well-managed.
If you don’t mind paying for the park… I highly recommend.
