This is a super cute, very small dog park located in the heart of downtown. Positives: As said above, it's super cute. The view is also great. While your dog plays, you can watch the canal traffic and the bridge (though who are we kidding, we stare at the dogs at dog parks). There are a few dog structures for puppos to run up and down. Negatives: Hard to find parking, the dog park is tiny, and the two times that I've brought my dog here, he has been the ONLY dog there. What the heck? Totally defeats the purpose of bringing him to play... All that being said, if I'm downtown with my dog, I'll bring him there but won't go out of the way to go to this dog park. read more

Cool little park for dogs. Downtown Dog Park is a fenced off area with gravel. It makes a good spot for your dog to let loose. A bad thing is there's not much room in here. This is still big enough for a few dogs and there's usually not too many at the same time. Here your dog can do its business. In the park is also a play structure featuring a ramp. There isn't that much to do in here so you won't be spending lots of time. Another bad thing is that the ground is covered in gravel. This isn't easy for many dogs to walk on. It seems designed for you to only be in there a few minutes. Just a place to piddle and poop. It seems clean. There usually aren't any leftovers. It conveniently is located next to a train station near the bridge. It's next to a train station. The area can get noisy so it's not much of a park but a place for dogs to play and relieve themselves. read more

It's nice, and not on a main road. However, It's very small and doesn't really allow more than 1 dog, of any size, to run around. It might be good for very small dogs in groups, but for my 2 girls (one being 45 lbs and the other 80 lbs), this is not more than a convenient bathroom stop. It's also by some train tracks, so that concerns me. Especially if there are people getting off or on the train and are not dog fans. I would be concerned about my girls getting hurt by these people if I wasn't there to monitor them the whole time. read more

The Downtown Dog Park is the urban solution for our city dogs! Pet people are the best people...and this dog park creates such community for dog owners and our furry friends. Every person I have met at this dog park continues to be friendly and talkative, and his or her dogs aren't so bad either! The other pet owners are very responsible and I've never seen any dogs here that don't play well with others. The dog park itself is pretty simple, but is very spacious and inviting. With peat gravel, a double fence and agility play areas; the Dog Park offers solutions for dogs to play on and off the leash safely. PUP (pick up poop) bags are provided throughout and the park is situated against the picturesque backdrop of the river and the Flats. Because the park is in an urban environment, remember to bring your own water, since there isn't a direct water source. You can also take your dog for a walk around any of the surrounding multi-purpose trails, and this area is particularly gorgeous as the sun is setting. Pro tip: The Downtown Cleveland Alliance City Advocates do an excellent job of programming the Dog Park with pet costume contests, get-togethers, and other dog celebrations in the park. Follow them on Twitter (@dtcledogpark) to keep tabs on the fun and to join this awesome community of people! read more

Finally, a dog sanctuary in downtown CLE! The park is located behind Settlers Landing Station along West 10th, almost directly below the Detroit-Superior Bridge, overlooking the river. Nearby, there is a multipurpose trail, so you can go for a walk/bike ride with your dog before or after. I've only ever walked here, so I'm not 100% sure about all of the parking options, but I do know that there is street parking on West 10th. The dog park ground is composed of gravel. Fences are standard height (I'm guessing here, but probably around 4 1/2 to 5 feet). There is a double gate when you arrive, so you have the opportunity to unleash/leash your dog without the chance for escape or other excited dogs bombarding your entrance. They have a small dog ramp in the middle of the park and 4 small benches for the humans to rest on. They store dog waste bags here, but I am always sure to bring a few extra, just in case they are out of stock. While it is not the biggest dog park I have ever been to, it is enough space for my dog (lab mix) to chase a ball and get a good bit of exercise in. And it is a super convenient park for anyone who lives in or near downtown. Your dog will definitely be giving you extra kisses and hugs after you visit here! :) read more

My partner and I recently moved to downtown Cleveland with our 7 month old Australian Cattle Dog Pepper. I found this park on yelp and living downtown was very excited to find a dog park within walking distance. That was the end of my excitement. The first time we went it was extremely hot. There is no shade at this dog park and all of the equipment here is metal or wood that gets even hotter after the sun has been beating down on it all morning. When I say no shade I mean NONE. There is not one tree in the entire fenced in area and the ground is all gravel. Pepper had fun the first time going to the park despite there being not one other dog the whole hour or two that we were there. Because of this I took her back a few more times and every time it was vacant of any pup friends for her to play with.. which is the entire point of taking her to the park. Also, there is no water fountain of any kind in or near this park. If you're going to put a dog park in a non shaded area and fill it with gravel at least have water for the pups when they get exhausted.. because they do.. every time. I almost had to carry my dog home because of my assumption there would be water and finding there was none. I honestly wouldn't waste my time going here.. you'll end up feeling sad for your pup when you find there's no one for him/her to play with. It's a bit more of a drive but there are always dogs at the Lakewood dog park. read more

Cutest little dog park ever - did I say little? Actually, I did see one in Los Angeles a couple of years ago that was smaller and another in 2017 in downtown Denver that was smaller. Neither of them had the charm or amenities that this little park in downtown Cleveland has. Nice job! Great spot - and for the space, efficient. read more

Dog park in downtown Cleveland? Yes please! Although it's on the smaller side, it's perfect for downtown. I live within walking distance and love bringing my pup over here. I've gone during the day on the weekends, and have never seen more than two other dogs, so I wonder how often people use it. I have an older dog that likes to sleep more than run, but think it's great for bigger dogs or ones that are more energetic than my lap dog :) read more

Great Time for the Entire Family!! read more

Fantastic dog park downtown Cleveland. I read another post on here that said the park is small and cannot fit more than one large dog. Not true at all! It was great! I have a 75lb lab and she had a ball. We had a great time! We will absolutely be back and bring our buddies. If your coming from out of town Cleveland is a very dog friendly town and this is a great place to let them run and then grab a beer!! read more

I love this little dog park. It's got fun things to run over, under and around and it's a great spot. Everyone I've met there is very nice also. The only downfall to the park is that there is often no water (no running water but plenty of bowls if you bring your own) and that for some reason, it's not as busy as you would think it would be? C'mon downtown dog owners, come on over! It's a puppy party! read more
