A great park for Troy residents to socialize their dogs. I've had dogs my whole life but never…read moretook my dogs to a dog park before because of so many negative stories I've heard from other dog owners, breeders, and friends. I was a little hesitant to buy a membership but I thought it would be a good way to socialize my 10 month year old pup with other dogs since Covid canceled puppy obedience classes and trainings. I was worried about the other dogs being aggressive or possibly attacking my pup from all the horrific stories I heard. However, it's been such a great experience so far. All of the dog owners are responsible and all the dogs have been very friendly. I've felt very safe taking my dog here and she loves it! There is an fenced in area for small dogs and another one for large dogs. You can enter the park off from Livernois next to the nursing home or get there from the Troy Trail. Membership is $35 for residents or $45 for non residents. You get a key scan card and scan the card to unlock the gate to enter. There is a small pavilion with a few benches which is nice. My only complaint is that there needs to be more shade! A few big trees need to be planted because it's too hot in the summertime for the dogs. There is not even 1 tree! Tip: Bring your own water because the water fountains are still not running due to Covid.

It would always get a bit noisy for us and rather animated at this smaller park by us if there was even one large dog and inevitably there would be one or more. I would end up having to help her pull her dog away from a potential fight. It's a good size park and it's well maintained for a dog park as well. There are some picnic tables and benches set up to sit a spell while the dog runs amok, if alone.

No dogs running out the door which I love. - they do not serve food so they allow you to bring your own or have it delivered. - they have a very nicely stocked bar with some drink specialties curated for you. Now let's talk about the GREAT. -Ruff-erees..... hands down these people are the star. The way they have eyes on all animals at all times is phenomenal. The redirect any play that may be getting to aggressive. Even when not aggressive they just keep an eye on who just needs space. They interact with the animals (and the humans too) keep the place sparkling clean, water bowls full and all things happening. I do not know what type of training they have for staff but it is impressive!!! If your dog is up to date on shots, spayed/neutered if over 1yrs old, and loves to play.. this is your place

We didn't have a fenced in yard and my pup just needed somewhere to run. City requirements made me so much more comfortable with the other dogs in the park, knowing that they were also vaccinated and registered. The secured entry ensures that not just any dog off the street can wander in. The other dog owners are friendly and responsible. Everyone keeps a close eye on their pet to ensure that play doesn't get too rough and poo is picked up. If someone misses their dog pooing, other folks will either help find the 'land mine' or often pick it up for them. There are multiple water bowls and a faucet with fresh water to fill them up at (which owners take turns doing regularly). There are two separate play spaces, one that's ~four acres and another that's for small dogs under 22lbs. The facility contains several benches and waste receptacles with free dog waste bags. The many "regulars" at this park form an awesome community. Everyone chips in to keep the park in tip top shape, owners know almost all of the others dogs' names, watch out for each other's pets and share both funny stories and useful info that can only come from another dog lover. There's even a playground outside of the park for the kiddos - dog park outings are fun and active for our whole family!

Good size with two areas, one for small dogs and the other for all dogs. Bowls and water is available, even a port o john for people. Only wish there was more trees within the dog area because shade makes for happier dogs and humans. So far all dog people seem kind, professional and aware of surroundings. Great job FH, all cities should have dog parks!

Rolling hills dotted with trees make it fun to play hide and seek (they can't see you over the hill). Plenty of picnic benches, some even with covered shade in the summer. Poop bags available. The gate mechanism is clever, better than other dog parks; gate can swing inward or outward. Trees line the edges and you can go on a mini stroll into the woods and reach the other side where there is a little dog pier for swimming. Open only in the summer months. You can buy a daily parking permit or an annual pass. If you forget or didn't know, as we did the first time, they leave you a gentle reminder sticker on your windshield. Restrooms on premises. Easy, plentiful parking. Friendly folks. There are dogs of all sizes and so far all of them have been very friendly.

There does seem to be water stations as well but it's winter so haven't seen them in action. They have three pickup stations so you don't even have to bring your own bags which is extremely convenient. They're the good bags too - the ones you stick your whole hand in so there's no mess. The only downside (like much of the world) are the people that come sometimes. Some people don't pick up after their dogs for whatever reason even though there's no reason not to. Currently because it's been so cold there are several dog turds that are frozen to the ground. Hope it's better maintained in the warmer months.
