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.

My dogs and I have been visiting this dog park in Hines Park for years. The park attracts a great…read moregroup of dogs, and we go every weekend. 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 :-)

Love the concept especially during the winter. The staff were friendly, however I was surprised to…read moresee staff members being a little timid when dogs were fighting over tennis balls. I appreciate the soft opening with a complimentary visit for locals to check it out. On top of that, we were given a complimentary pup cup. The pups loved this. There is a large and small dog section. On the large dog side, there is an agility course. My dog tried to play on some of the items, but he was too large which made the structure a little tippy. Our friends had the same challenge. Unfortunately, only individual 18 years or older are allowed in. My friend had to stay outside with her baby. Definitely a bummer. This isn't a great space for large dogs. The gates didn't seem secure. My friends and I came with our Great Danes and Irish Wolfhound. It was too small of a space of multiple Danes and large breeds. I was surprised to see workers cleaning up dog urine with a paper towel instead of a mop. If you have a small to medium dog and you need a place to play and stay warm, this is your spot. Ample parking. Light snacks for humans and dogs are available for purchase too.

Our dog loves to go to this park especially in the morning. Just be aware that in the morning your shoes may get wet because the grass can be a little bit wet from the morning dews and because in some areas the grass is a little taller. There's no sidewalk on the side of the park. But generally, we really like this park. It would be even better if the park also provided some trashcans though. I find it really hard to find any trashcan in the park, so typically we have to make our way to Beach Daily to throw away our poopy bags.

Very cozy and safe for all your events.

I really enjoy this park, but the fact that you can't bring a dog through there anymore because…read moresomeone let theirs in the splash pad is silly (and I say this as someone who doesn't even have a dog, I just like going there with friends who have dogs). I've also been questioned while hanging out in my hammock by the trees because it was assumed I'm a vagrant who wanted to camp out. Nope, just wanted to relax and read a book, not really a weird concept. That being said, this is a very nice, quiet, and enjoyable park. The walking/biking path is excellent and nicely shaded due to all the old growth trees. The playground, splash pad, restrooms, and baseball/soccer fields appear to be well taken care of and I've never felt unsafe while running through. I'd give it five stars if Dearborn didn't get all rude and uptight about the way they run their parks.

Pretty much have to agree with everything Jes P said. The park is in a lovely part of Ann Arbor…read more(the view of river is particularly great), the runs are spacious and clean, the folks and pups that come are nice as can be, and it's much closer to us than the other two parks, but it's got a few things that could take it up a notch. The first is yes, water would be great. I'm so used to those great people/pup drinking fountains around town that I stupidly didn't bring my pups water. Luckily a very nice fellow dog parent allowed mine to sip some of his dog's. Also--poop bags! I've seen them at other parks. In fact, I'm pretty sure swift run has them, which is why I didn't bring any with me. Thankfully another nice pup parent gave me one when we needed one. Parking can be dicey but it's a lovely stroll through the park to get there. Also, after 5 PM you can park at Kellogg Eye Center which is just on the other side of the bridge. Not too bad! My pups love it and I love not having to drive far to get here so in general it's a winner. Just come prepared with water and baggies.

The one off-putting thing I've noticed is some people treat this place like it is their private yard and will bring reactive or aggressive dogs here. I have had someone sit in their car waiting for me and my dog to leave so they can come in with their dog who "doesn't like other dogs". Also, my dog escaped once because someone didn't close both doors. So, like any dog park, or place in public really, the real menace is people messing things up.
