Violet Township Dog Park
Violet Township Dog Park is a well-maintained and spacious dog park featuring three separate fenced areas: one for general use, one for small dogs, and a special section called “Alcatraz” for dogs that don’t get along with others. It offers wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, picnic tables, shaded seating under a pavilion, and a water fountain for both dogs and humans. The park is clean, stocked with sturdy poop bags, and has ample parking available. It is a welcoming environment with responsible dog owners, providing a great place for dogs to run and play off-leash year-round.

Plenty of room for the dogs to go crazy and run off all that energy from being cooped up inside during the day. During the warmer months they have a water fountain available to fill up a bowl for the dogs to drink out of. As soon as it starts getting cold out they shut off the water so it doesn’t freeze and bust, so bring some with you in that instance. It is open year round though so that’s nice.
This dog park is great! I’ve never had any issues with other dogs or owners. There is so much space for the dogs to run and play with two separate sections, one for large dogs and one for small. There is a drinking fountain for both humans and dogs. There is also a good amount of parking.
There was one mud puddle but overall it is a very well maintained park. He had just rained so obviously my dog found it. Very spacious and the other dog owners seem very responsible. I’ve been to some parks where dog owners don’t pay attention so that’s important for me. We will definitely need to come back.
Well tended, generally clean, and well stocked!
I was in the area with my dogs on a short trip, and didn’t expect to stop so I didn’t have bags. The park has quite a few stands with rolls of bags in them, and they were sturdy bags!
The park has 3 sections- one larger side for general use, one small dog only section, then one the locals apparently call “Alcatraz” as it is set aside for dogs that don’t get along well with others. It seems to be generally accepted that it is a “one family at a time” situation.
While there were a few spots where it was muddy, the park was generally well tended and clean. There are large open areas for running, a pavilion with chairs for shade and resting while the dogs play, and a few trees and such to make this a nice looking park.
The back side does neighbor up to the back of residential properties, but it isn’t problematic.
The parking lot is in the rear of a government maintenance building. Maps doesn’t recognize the entrance on Center, so it may guide you to go in the main drive of the maintenance building, but you can access off of Center directly.
Definitely recommend n
Took my new puppy to this park and he loved it! Great people, dogs, super clean and the water station is great.
