K-9 Rooster Dog Park
K-9 Rooster Dog Park, also known as Meridian Dog Park, is a well-maintained dog park featuring three fenced fields specifically designated for small dogs (under 25 lbs) and large dogs (25 lbs and above), with one field in rotation to keep areas fresh. Each field is double-gated with individual enclosures to safely unleash dogs before entering. The park provides drinking stations with bowls and dual water fountains for dogs and people, and a centrally located gated shower station. While water is turned off during winter, the park offers seating on benches in each field and limited shade from surrounding trees. Potty bag receptacles and trash bins are conveniently placed at park entrances. Parking is limited but available. The community is friendly, and the park is popular during mornings and evenings on weekdays, with variable weekend times. There are some muddy areas near drinking stations and benches, and current shade and trash facilities could be improved. Overall, it’s a popular and well-loved park by dog owners and their pets, offering separate spaces for different dog sizes and a social, enjoyable environment.
Reviews
The pups always love going to Meridian Dog Park. There is water (when it’s turned on) for drink and dog showers. There are benches for people. There are separate fenced in areas for small dogs and for large dogs. The Pizza Crew approves.
Our dog loved to visit here and play with all his friends. The grounds are well kept and the fences are in good shape to ensure no dogs escape. Plenty of bags available to pick up after your pets. Even has water fountain available in the summer.
On behalf of Spot. I believe Spot enjoys coming to Meridan Dog Park. He never turns the opportunity to play with other dogs down. Always filled with excitement, leaves very satisfied and exhausted. A big plus.
There are 3 fields, two of which remain open while the third stays in rotation (Small breeds weighing below 25lbs are in one, while large breeds 25lbs and above are in the other.)
The fields are gated and each have their own drinking station (a dog bowl and two water fountains for adults and children.) There is a gated shower station in the middle accessible from the middle, right and front of the dog park.
*During the Winter, the water is turned off.*
The shade is limited to the trees surrounding the edges of the dog park, 3 benches to sit from in all gated fields. Each field has it’s own gated enclosures to allow you to unleash your dog before getting into the field.
There are potty bag receptacles at each entrance as well as three trash bins. The unfortunate thing is they are only at the entrances so it’s best to grab a few to be prepared when your dog does the deed.
Busy times are mornings between 6-12 and evenings 5-9, typically during the week. Weekends can differ. Weather/Temperature greatly impacts these time frames. I’m usually part of the morning crew.
Dog owners are friendly like their counterpart 4 legged bestfriends. I’m usually having a conversation with one of them or a group of them. Dogs seem to enjoy themselves or when the crowd is light dog owners attend to their buddies. Great people to meet and chat with.
The upkeep at this park is prettt good. They mow it, empty the trash, clean up around the place. Parking is limited to about 10 regular spots and two handicap.
**The following may be an issue if your dog likes to get dirty, but with proper supervision, you can limit the possibility of your dog getting dirty.**
The downside to this Dog Park is, there are a couple muddy areas in each field.
The left field has two large muddy areas, by the drinking fountain and under the trees in the far left backside of the field. Two smaller muddy areas in the underside and behind the benches halfway on the sides of the left field.
The middle field has one large muddy area by the drinking fountain. One small patch halfway towards the right side and two under and behind the benches.
The right field has one large muddy area around the bench on the left side of the right field. This is the optimal preferred field by most dog owners.
All in all, I believe Spot rates the Meridan Dog Park 4 out of 4 paws with a spontaneous wagging of his tail.
*Nitpicking*
There could be more shade(awnings or covered benches), more potty bag receptacles and trash bins throughout the Dog Park so it’s not a long walk to the front of the Dog Park. More parking surrounding the fields. The muddy areas (by the drinking stations) to be covered more permanently than temporarily.
Last words, Spot & I, look forward to our next visit. Wonderful people and adorable dogs. 👍
It’s not a bad place to take your dog.It’s divided into multiple sections.So not all dogs have to run together.I like it
Very nice. In the small dog park. Big dog area, people watch the dogs poop then not bother to pick it up. Disgusting. I don’t understand it. Very pleasant there today. Weather is nice. Grass awns are everywhere though. So check your dogs feet when leaving.
