    Soccer fields

    Beautiful place for soccer! The fields are great and the nature setting is perfect for a long soccer weekend.

    Tristan said the dogs were looking at him a bit too hungrily.

    We are looking after a trio of Russian Wolfhounds owned by our niece who broke her ankle and who now lies in the hospital with an infected broken ankle. She lives in an apartment nearby and these dogs are completely oversized for an apartment even if she made one of the bedrooms into a nice kennel. Fortunately, she has an annual park pass at River Oaks so we've been taking the three dogs over a couple times a day so they can run and play and blow off some steam. I knew about the softball and soccer fields, but I was unaware that a good sized dog park (just short of 5 acres) was tucked into the facility. The dogs all have collars and tags and the vaccinations are all current. It's been a couple of mild days, so the park was more muddy than cold and snowy. And nobody else has been there (although we saw several families out near the picnic shelters) so we haven't had to worry about the three dogs misbehaving with someone else's dog. My niece used to play disc golf and she turned her discs into chase toys. Or maybe the dogs turned them into chew toys first. In any case, it's a big enough park that I can let loose and the dogs can go chase. Hate the exit, by the way. One lane, no light on M-96. If this park was crowded and everyone left at once, I think you could sit in the car and wait quite a while before you ever saw freedom.

    This is a great dog park. Lots of grass and trees. There's a place to give your dog water and a little hill. The $25 annual pass to all Kalamazoo County Parks can be used at both River Oaks dog park and Prairie View dog park. There are a couple of benches and there is also an area for small dogs. The only downside is that not a lot of people know about this park, a couple of times my dog was the only one there.

    Watering hole!

    I love this park! I take my kids there to the splash pad, and I also take my dog to the dog park 3 days a week. Love the dog park!

    Fantastic facility! Fantastic staff! Fantastic Community structure!…read more There are wonderful rolling hills which create natural divisions in which dogs will group, so it's like having several yards within one. The pond is deep enough and contoured enough to provide a lot of variation and slope. The physical build of the docks is top notch. There is enough shade at the pond for humans to be comfy. The bathing facilities are so "Temple Grandin" with full length windows at each of the very clean walk-in tubs, and they all look out over the park! My pup LOVED IT. Be prepared to state your animal's positive and/or challenging behaviors in written detail, and give yourself enough time to really read the community guidelines and education. Last but not least, it doesn't hurt to have an attached dog-friendly tavern which occasionally has food via one food truck or another. It's almost worth moving there for this park!

    Train their staff. One of my dogs is a rescue and is sensitive if dogs "pack up" in small spaces…read more Like the front gate. I spoke to our vet about it because I was concerned. He growled a short. growl and got out of the situation It happend with a black wolf like dog. The vet said it was completely normal. Also.the staff needs to listen to both sides of a complaint and if there are more complaints from a single person consider what they are upset about!! I have found a really nice smaller dog park in Kalamazoo. There isn't the stress of Meadow run. There's a centralized area where people and dogs socialize with plenty of benches so people can sit and watch their dogs easily. There are objects like trees, benches and a fire hydrant to help get a visual on area to look to pick up poop bags available ! The park isn't enormous so dogs disappear! People are very friendly. It's great!!
