A fairly active dog park with mostly friendly dogs and 99% responsible owners. We visit 1-2 times a week and only twice have I seen an aggressive or reactive dog, both times the owner immediately removed their pet from the equation. There is one guy with and rottie that wants to mount every female dog which is inconvenient, but my girl is fixed. My biggest complaint is the run area is mostly gravel which is rough on my pups paws. Otherwise we’d visit more often probably

Great location in the metro parks
Water fountain and two exits / entrances
9/10 times there are fun, well behaved dogs (and people).

There is nothing for the dogs to play or jump on and the majority of it is gravel that gets my dogs (and my shoes) coated in white chalk.

Finally some nice weather. I couldn’t wait to get my dogs out. Went to the dog park and a gentleman with a breeding pair of Rottweilers was there. The male was aggressively attempting to jump every dog in there, make and female. Several people asked him to please control his dog and he wouldn’t even get up off the bench. I called the number for the park and was told to call animal control. Basically animal control said you take your dog at your own risk, although rule 11 is very clear. Guess I will look for a better park. Such a shame that we can’t enjoy the dog park in our own community.

11. Owners and dog handlers must have their dogs in sight and be in control of their dogs at all times. All humans and dogs engaged in altercations or aggression will be asked to leave. Cooperation between owners and dog handlers is expected.

We took our dog here for the first time tonight and he had a lot of fun. We have a mini goldendoodle and he’s been going stir crazy inside this winter so it was nice for him to hang out with other dogs. We went around 6pm so there were about 4-5 other dogs there and luckily they were all friendly! I’ve been weary taking him to a dog park (not this one in particular, just in general) due to hearing horror stories of other dogs not being so friendly/attacking other dogs but we had a pretty good experience!

My daughter is here from another state and wanted to bring her pup to this dog park. She has been to lots of dog parks across the country and this one fails. There is only gravel, no grass, and a tiny covered area for shelter. No trees or trails or grass. Not an inviting place to bring your pet. There are bag dispensers for waste cleanup and water for the dogs. Sad that Lakewood didn’t spend some effort to make this a nice place for your pets or you.
