This is the greatest dog park in the greater Detroit area to take your dog to play and socialize.  The dog park entrance is just off of joslyn. 

This park has over 900 acres available for your pet, plus several miles of hiking trails to explore, as well as a 14 acre large fenced area to let all the dogs run loose and play at the same time.

There is also a similar fenced area that only allows dogs under 15 pounds. All of the dog runs are well groomed lawns, and rotating the location of the runs each month keeps the park eco-friendly. Plenty of shaded picnic tables give you a place to relax while your pet wanders around. These fenced areas are conveniently double gated with a 6 foot space between the gates that allows for easy leashing and unleashing. There are cold drinking fountains, and fresh tap water for the dogs is also available. Clean restrooms are on site, and pet waste bags are also available at various locations in this park.

The gem of this dog park is the large lake that they can splash around in on those hot summer days.  Lake sixteen butts up to the park and they have made a dog friendly ramp for your pets to go in and out of the water with ease.  Bring a ball or grab a stick and watch the dogs have fun showing off there swimming abilities.  Be careful on the dock as it gets slippery when wet.
