Paw Park offers a fenced-off area with a pond for dogs to splash around, divided into sections for small and large breeds, which helps keep things somewhat organized during peak hours. The location has easy access, there's basic shade from nearby trees. However, the mandatory membership requirement. Dont think I'd pay a membership fee myself. It did look maintained. read more

All these rules and EVERYTIME I walk by(live within .01 mi) there are big dogs in the small dog park so why should I need a membership to argue? read more

We are a family on a road trip and decided it was time to let the dogs out to potty and play a bit. Got directions here to be met with a membership only park... wtf... With that all being said me and my pups are sitting outside of the park attempting to enjoy some shade and get some kind of retreat from the car. Park looks nice. Would be nice to have known before we wasted time coming here.... Also, a water thing outside of the gate for those of us who wasted our time would be great so at least our dogs can get some water on these hot days. Or a $1 day pass... read more

Paw Park - Sitting outside the park on leashes bc of the membership - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I completely understand having a dog park where you show your dog's vaccination records so all dogs can be safe happy and healthy, but it's absolutely absurd to enforce monthly donations just so my dog and I can enjoy a day out in a safe place. He's an Italian greyhound and loves getting the freedom to run around but here we were just disrespectfully greeted by entitled "members" who acted as if were less because we didn't have a key card to get in and were confused on how to enter the park space. read more

Pretty area but dont bother going. You have to be a member to let ur dog run around plus its always empty with no other dogs. Personally i dont think its a good nice or big enough park to pay anything for it. The dog park in Edmond has all you need!! read more

To charge for a public use park that isn't even indicated on the government website as a paid place is a little suspect to me. Seems to me the owner of the park got a little greedy with a park that doesn't have anything more than other dog parks in the metro. Keep your $100 and find another park. read more

Membership only DOG park? Clearly OKC has gotten a little too big for their britches on this one. The parking lot used to be full and so did the park. So there were a few bare dirt patches...probably because hundreds of people and their dogs were using it. Now, when I pulled up (after a 20 minute drive) there was NOBODY here. And I couldn't get in. But hey, the grass is green! read more

Use to have a lot of fun with my dogs here before the added fee. I'll happily find another park

Paw Park is now membership only. You have to pay $10/month or $100/year for a dog park that is poorly maintained. Half of the park is dirt the other half is weeds. They have no proper water station set up- just a hose and some old plastic bowls. Unless they get their act together and clean this place up we will probably never consider their membership. I've been to a membership only park in Dallas once and it was so nice. Properly maintained grass, doggy water stations, shaded areas with doggy pools, etc. Now that's a membership worth paying for! It's a shame that the owners of Paw Park got so greedy. read more

Nestled in the Stars and Stripes park, it's a nice location. The park surrounding the dog park is beautiful and green and allows for a great walk after your doggo has some fun at the dog park. The dog park has a lot of dirt, wish there was more grass but it does have nicely shaded spots, 3-4 benches and bags for dog poop pickups. It is very large so the big dogs have plenty of room to run! Everyone and their pets were friendly from what we experienced. A pretty clean dog park and we will likely return. Give it a shot! Also, there is a sectioned area behind the dog park that has a pond in case you want that. It's nice that it is separate from the dog park because I didn't want Loki getting wet that day. read more

I used to take my dogs here all the time, but that was a while back. Out on errands today on this side of town so I thought I'd bring the dogs out, and I discovered they changed it to a paid membership? Ridiculous, especially considering it was a public park. Won't be coming back read more

Paw park had several fundraisers, and now it claims they didn't have money to pay for the park. Not sure what maintanance was needed to be paid for. There was never any grass growing. Now you have to pay $10 per month to access this park. I opt to go drive a little farther to the Edmond dog park now that constantly has luscious grass growing, and an even bigger water area. read more

Paw Park - D - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Pretty upset at the dog park charging people to start coming here. It's a nice place, and one of my favs, but people also don't monitor their dogs. Have had a few incidents where another pup has been aggressive towards mine. We only went when no one was really there. Love the park. But we aren't paying to use it. We can go somewhere else. read more

Great park, I've only met friendly owners here and it's pretty big so the dogs can exercise plenty. There's a small dog area and a separate area with a pond for swimming. Lots of leftover tennis balls and frisbees laying around as well. The area around the dog park is nice too, bike/run trail parallel to the road near the lake if you want to park far and jog with your dog to the park or something. read more

Paw Park - Some chase - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Not too bad and hopefully will be better as the spring continues and some grass grows. Right now it's pretty barren. The biggest downfall can't be fixed, it's the red dirt that plagues this state. The dog park has never been 'busy.' The owners all seem to have their s@$t together and pay attention to how the dogs play and when to clean up poo which is greatly appreciated. On a completely selfish side note, there could be more hot men playing with their dogs but you can't have it all. :-) read more

Just drove 30 minutes to this dog park to find out it is a "members only". I thought the city of Oklahoma City bulky this park. It was free 2 years ago when I was here. This should be update on YELP by the OWNERS. there were more people walking there dogs in the playground and surrounding areas than in the dog park! 1. I may need to check the city to see why this is happening. 2. If the city paid for it why are they now charging? 3. Other states have huge acres of land for FREE for dog parks that are awesome, so I don't understand why Oklahoma City is charging??? Just came back to the state after 2 years. read more

This dog park is awesome. I have two 7lb dogs so we are always on the little dog side. The park is always very clean and there is a tiny little pool of your dog likes water. There is always a small box of toys for the dogs to play with as well. For the most part people clean up after their dogs which makes it nice for everyone. It is a great place to take your pup and if you like it, there is a little box to make a donation to the park. Bring the pup and have a great time! read more

Membership only on city park property seems criminal. Agreed with other people that posted used to be full of people and pups and today beautiful weather not one dog or person around. $100 bucks a year no thank you. read more

We got a new puppy over the summer and felt she was finally ready to go to the dog park that we have taken our other dog to many times. We loaded up two very anxious dogs in the car and headed to the park. It wasn't until we were trying to get in (with our now very excited dogs)that we notice you now can't get in without a membership. ‍What kind of dog park makes you have a membership to get in?! I thought this was a "public" park? All our poor babies wanted to do was play! read more

Why would someone pay for this place? I've never seen a dog park where you need to pay...especially if there is nothing but dirt. No thank you read more

This dog park offers nothing that the free dog parks in Edmond, Midwest city, or even midtown offer except for proximity to the area. It is absurd to charge for a membership for something unless it is infinitely better than the free version. Some things are better left state owned and operated. read more

My boxer LOVED this park and we went 3-5 times a week, until they started wanting to charge us to come there :(

Decided to come check this place out only to be welcomed my a members only sign. Just was trying to take my dog to a free dog park. Not interested in paying to let my dog run around for 20 or so minutes. read more

I went to Paw Park for the first time this past weekend and had a great time...until an aggressive pit showed up and upset several of the other dogs...and everyone scattered. The grounds were kept fairly clean from poo but there was quite a bit of mud...and it hadn't even rained. The place has room for improvement but it was certainly a nice experience. I particularly liked the pond area where retrievers can fetch balls in the water. Also, it was good to have separate areas for smaller dogs and larger dogs. My dogs had a blast playing with others and went home happy and tired. read more

Our dogs have a great time here. They have separate areas for little dogs and larger ones for safety reasons, which is nice - but if you have one of each know that you have to separate them. So be prepared that you can't be in two places at once. The chain link fence separating the large from the small is nice - as it allows the smaller dogs to at least run with the big dogs without danger of being run over. The only reason they don't get five stars is because they had a volunteer that started scolding us for keeping our smallest dog on a leash. She practically forced me to take it off my dog (by reaching over my hands and taking it off without my permission) saying that I wasn't allowing my dog the confidence needed to be a dog. I had my reasons for keeping her on a leash longer than my other pup, as she'd never been and I wanted to see how she'd socialize with others before I let her run free. It turned out that she fit in nicely - but no one should tell you how to parent your own kids (2 legged and 4). It's our family - fur and otherwise - and we get to decide how we work as a unit in the park. Unless we're breaking the rules - let us play and unwind on our own! She then started yelling at my child for petting one of the other dogs, as he could get 'bit' but what she didn't know is that he was with our other dog, having fun - as he SHOULD. This lady was way to controlling and I nick-named her the 'dog park nazi'. When we left I said, "no fun for you!!" When you go, follow the rules but don't allow anyone to bully you, your family members, or your pets. The great part of this park is how friendly all the patrons are. They're all dog lovers obviously so your pets get love at every turn, from friendly pets to their owners. Be prepared to be covered in dog slobber, fur, and smiles. Lastly, remember to bring your doggie bags to pick up your doggie droppings and some water for your thirsty pups. read more

If you've got a dog who enjoys being outdoors and socializing, you've got to take him or her to Paw Park. A fairly new addition to the Lake Hefner area, Paw Park is canine heaven. It actually ranked in the top ten dog parks in the nation last year in (I believe) Dog Fancy magazine. There's a separate smaller area for small dogs (so they don't get trampled by exuberant labs) and a large area for big dogs (including a pond). Tall, secure fences keep the animals safe from nearby Hefner Parkway. Benches are provided for people to sit down and there are plenty of trash bins around (for you to dispose of any business your dog may have needed to take care of). Admission is free, people are generally friendly (even if a surprising amount of them don't neuter their animals- seriously, who doesn't neuter in this day and age?), and your dog will have a great time. read more

Fun place to take your dog to socialize and play with other dogs. There are three different sections of the dog park. 1) Little Dog Area 2) Big Dog Area 3) Walking Path There's lots of space for your dog to run and play. There's a pond if your dog is a swimmer. Beware of some dirt spots. I haven't been there after it's rained, but I can imagine that it can get a bit muddy. read more

Paw Park is a great place to take your dogs, no matter their size. They have a separate fenced area for smaller dogs, and and very large fenced area for bigger dogs that includes a pond for them to run thru. My dogs had a blast here. Also, they have an extended dog run that takes you around the pond and kind of through the woods. It is a beautiful walk, and you can let your dogs run free. REMINDER: your dogs must have their tags or proof of shots in order to get in. They are very serious about this requirement, and you will be asked to leave if you don't have proof of proper vaccines. read more

I love paw park and I'm a regular because my dog loves this park more than me, and what my dog wants, she gets. Make sure you have your updated rabies tags on, otherwise you could get a fine. Always keep an eye on your dog, and if you are new here, leaving them on the leash is dangerous, brush up on your dog park etiquette before you come or the volunteers will ask you to leave, especially if your dog is aggressive. There are plenty of benches, gravel walk ways and water stations. Lots of running room to chase balls and other dogs and even a water feature for the dogs to swim. One of my favorite features is the dog run around the park that you can remove your dog from the leash and let them run down and around the park. We have a blast every time we go. I usually come after work and its always the perfect place to watch a nice sunset. read more

Much larger than our usual dog park, for both the small and large dog areas. Their hours are relatively short, if you want to come in the evenings you basically must come immediately after work. They also close seasonally, but have just reopened for spring. They have some comfortable seating areas, both covered and uncovered. Multiple dog bowls on bricks, so it doesn't get muddy. Sadly, the road noise from the interstate is constant. Not a lot to be done about that. Overall, a very nice dog park. read more

Excellent dog park, there is even a part with water for your dogs to swim. Has a walking trail so you can walk or jog while your dog plays. It is right by a highway so your dog might not hear you calling him. Kinda loud. Also right by a lake so it can be kind of chilly and cold! Other than that great place to take your dogs! read more

Paw Park - Small dog area - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This is a public park, right? Doesn't that mean that the public is entitled to go, and that the upkeep is funded by the state government? I think it is absolutely ridiculous to charge a membership fee for a public service that we are paying our tax dollars for. This place used to be packed... Now there is not a single person at the park right now, I have never seen it completely empty before. I guess I will find a different place to take my puppy. read more

Separate entry/exit for small and large dogs was a nice feature of this park. Play areas are smaller than our regular hot spot in Edmond but there was plenty of shade, nice and clean water bowls, and respectful pet owners. Now the water area is bigger with much easier access than Edmond which was a nice surprise! Close to the interstate so noisy but the schnauzer seemed to enjoy himself. read more

Please keep an eye on your dogs and keep them in check. Have a little respect for the other dogs and owners... PSA over. That being said... It is a great place to get rid of all of that doggy energy. I like it when there are only about ten dogs out there. That seems to be the perfect number for good socialization and good fetch play. My dogs cannot seem to stay out of the pond. They are automatically drawn to the water as soon as we get there and I spend the rest of the time playing fetch and keeping them out of the water to dry off. The pond is a great thing for them, though. Especially in the heat of the summer. read more

Paw Park - Fetch time. - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

We have brought our dog to this park since the moment we could. It is a great place to get out and let your pups run off some energy. The only thing is that I wish there was more grass! The dirt blows in the air and can make a big "dust storm " other than that, we love it. read more

Paw Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

So I am a paid member cause 10 bucks isn't a whole lot to me. The park has soft grass on both the small dog and big dog side and near the lake. They are constantly upgrading and adding fun decorations. They added kiddy pools for the dogs to play in, a ramp for dogs to go over, and have new toys for everyone to use all the time. I get that this used to be free, but I love that it's monitored who comes in and when and that the dogs are all vaccinated. I've had issues at other parks with random strangers dogs starting fights and they just run off before I can get info. It's now more of a community and there are dog play dates all the time. If you don't want to pay, then there's a trail on the outside that leads to a big field your dog can play in. read more

There are a lot of complaints about the new charging model for use of a privately maintained park, saying they don't see any maintenance that needs to be done or the purpose of charging a fee, and that's because it has been done through donations for years and the donations waned. Before the membership fee, they were either using their own money or the small amount of donations they received. For people that weren't giving donations before, we were essentially letting our dogs play in someone's backyard for free. I understand the fee is not feasible for everyone, but we are happy to pay it. They have already made improvements to include improving the grass, water spigots and bench platforms. Several people have commented on the assumption that the park will now close due to the fee, but a representative from the park said they have more than met the minimum needed to continue. There are still plenty of dogs to play with and it is encouraging to know all of the dogs have been properly vetted. We prefer this park to the Edmond dog park and are happy to contribute to its betterment. read more

The Paw Park in Oklahoma City is a terrible park for our dogs. The man that runs it , is not people person. He makes up rules that are not on his rule list. He's is rude and bossing. The Paw Park isn't kept up either. There was a water faucet inside the park where the water kept on running and the patrons couldn't shut it off completely. It is a paying membership dog park. It is a total waste of our money when the patrons are paying for the water and the water faucet keeps running water. Dead limbs on the trees are left on the trees and not trim. read more

This used to be our favorite park, yeah there were some patches of dirt and a few holes, but it's because people were actually going and it was ALWAYS packed!! I drove 20 min today to take my new pup after not going for a while and now it's members only??? Well, I guess now there's green grass and no holes, but there also was no one there! But hey, if you wanna pay $10 a month you get front row parking! ‍ read more

Not the best park and because of the people who go there and the attitudes they hold against new park goers. You Don't own the park and if you're not breaking dog park rules, then you should be able to stay and not ran out. Won't go back. read more
