All kinds of dogs and owners are here having a good time. The staff monitors the dogs behaviors and intervenes if anything happens. Our dog was receiving too much attention from another and the staff separated them frequently. The place has a large garage feel to it with lots of TVs playing the games. It was a lot of fun for him and we each got a drink to pass the time. We will be back. Bring your dog and have a great time. I can't wait to see this place in the summer!

Review is for the dog park(s). Been to many dog parks in different parts of the country so I am…read moreknowledgeable about them. The free park is available to anyone which is standard in most parts and the country. The main park requires registration more detailed than the requirements for voting. I suppose that all the rules make the dog owners confident that their pets are less likely to contract disease. Registration is now available on line. Overall the park is located in a flood area and is not accessible several times a year and is muddy a lot. Water and doggie bags are available. Needless to say mosquitoes are abundant.

Water is available for the dogs, and there's a small shelter for the people. The park is large enough for my dogs to really stretch their legs. They charge a small annual fee if $20, well worth the investment for how much we use it.

After reading reviews, Hershey and I decided to try this dog park out since we are working in Novi…read morefor a bit of time. Drove to Park only to find that its member only. Don't waste your time if you are new or just visiting The city. The majority of responsible dog owners who actively seek out dog parks to socialize their pooches are truly responsible dog owners, updating annual vaccines for their well behaved pups. Shame on the city of Novi for slighting visitors. Not a great impression of welcoming people to your community!

The city of Novi has some great features (authentic Japanese food, 12 Oaks Mall, top-notch schools,…read moreetc) and if you're a canine parent, then you'll be happy to know that you and your tail wagging' pal are covered! I couldn't be happier about a place where my dog can just be a dog and meet other dogs (dogs, dogs, dogs!!). The park is HUGE and split into two parts (small and timid dogs on one side and big dogs on the other). I like this feature because it can be intimidating for an owner to watch their small 5 Ibs chihuahua try to run and keep up with the bigger breeds. The park usually has bowls for water and a fresh water supply (but it is turned off in the winter months). The park provides plastic bags to pick up after your dog and deposit his/her business in the receptor. They also salt around the park (during the icy season) with paw-friendly salt so you don't have to worry about it hurting your pal. As a visitor of the park, you'll need to register your information with the city and get a key fob. Novi shares its dog park with the city of Northville so as members, you can take advantage of both locations. The park is a fantastic avenue for dogs to get out their energy and play with their own kind. My dog enjoys the park so much and I enjoy it too because he sleeps for hours on end after a visit :-)

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.

The layout is designed so well that it couldn't be better! I've been going here for years.

When they leave they're exhausted and couldn't be happier! Having Great Danes it's so nice to have some time for myself when we leave cuz the both of them are sleeping and probably having dreams about their adventures at this park?!!!:):)

They added a very small structure on the large dog side but it is very small. On hot days it becomes very warm for both the dogs and people. There are water sources on both sides of the park so that dogs can be given water. Some people have left bowls there, but you may want to bring your own. My favorite part of the park is the friendships I've made with both people and dogs. The regulars like to sit or stand and talk to each other. There are a few benches available for sitting and some people bring chairs. I am so glad the township added this park. It is well loved by many and the annual fee is very affordable.
