Edendale Dog Park

There’s a well fenced grassy area for small dogs (under 32 pounds) and another well fenced grassy area for large dogs.
There’s a nice “doggy fountain”.
There’s also a kiddie play area.
The place was clean, and we’ll kept.

This is less of a review and more about directions!

Google Maps brought me to a dead end in a neighborhood (Deanne Court). Instead, go to Ashland Avenue and look for the traditional play structure and the sign marking the entrance to Edendale Park. You will walk your dog through the kids playground (with the middle school track and field on the left) to get to the dog park.

The park itself is big enough to be further than I can throw for fetch, grassy instead of wood chips, and not crowded.

So far, this is my favorite park in the area. And it’s the only one that has grass which I appreciate so much. It isn’t as large as other parks nor does it have a separation between large and small dogs, but I feel that it’s a decent size and good enough to let the dogs run around. It’s well maintained and the dog owners I met so far have been friendly along with their dogs. I got lost for the first 10 min driving around trying to find it since the GPS kept leading me astray. I finally noticed the children’s playground and used the pictures on Google to guess that the park was in the same area. Street parking only but from what I experienced, not too hard to find!

First of all, Google maps gave me the wrong directions, it had me go down a neighborhood street that was a dead end which I guess is right behind the dog park and the dog park area isn’t easy to see from the main street so I had no idea where to park. The gated dog park area is back behind a really nice playground and has some exercise equipment on the pathway around the dog park. The gated area is kind of small for my taste but I like that it’s all grass. The water fountain for the dogs is outside the gate which is inconvenient but at least they have one. There are 2 or 3 (can’t remember) benches inside the gated area and that’s its. There also weren’t any dogs there so it was a pretty boring visit and just an overall dull dog park.

Dog park has grass which is great. Only one area for all dog’s to play and no shade for hot day’s.
