Walnut Woods Dog Park

This is a good dog park. It’s a wide open space, with two separate for small and large dogs. There’s a lot for my dog to do as far as run around, go through tunnels, and jump over bars. It’s also a nice area. There’s also bags provided to clean up after your pet.

Great park. Super clean and frequented by responsible owners who keep an eye on their dogs. The only minus is that it lacks a water fountain for the dogs so you have to remember to bring your own. Other than that though, this place is one of the best dog parks I’ve been to!

FIRST TIME here! the park is very nice, clean and a clean dog park is a plus! This will definitely be our workout park for my furBaby!

Definitely my favorite dog park. It is clean, spacious, well-​maintained. No water or trash cans which is a little strange, but they do have dog bags and a place to put dog waste. We drive 25 minutes to get here, and there are other dog parks closer, this is just a great place, worth the drive, and my 2 small dogs love it.

Best dog park ever. It’s so well-​maintained, spacious, and has trees. The small dog side is completely separate from the large dog side (not that this matters to me, but usually they are connected). The highlight of the park is the fenced-​in pond within the large dog area. It’s the perfect size and is surrounded by rocks, so their paws don’t get too muddy; I was able to walk around it while my Lucy had a great swim. This side has a covered area with a picnic table and a bench, and shared toys and water bowls. Outside the fence, they have a drinking fountain for the dogs. There are also poop bags & trash receptacle.
The only downside for me is that it is a 30 minute drive to Groveport.

Now my dog loves water, maybe loves water a little too much. This is the only dog park that know where I can take her without the threat of her swimming off, HUGE PLUS!
The park is divided into three areas, a small dog area and a large dog area that is divided further to a pond side and a grass side. We always start our trip by exploring the grassy side. There are many small trees and the grass is still mostly in tact, another plus for this park over others. Once my dog gets hot she stands by the pond fence and it is time to go swimming.
The pond is filled with pebbles that surround the pond. It isn’t necessarily muddy. It is small but enough room for dogs to swim around. There are also frogs around that my dog has decided is great fun to try to catch.
We always end out trip drying off again in the grassy area.
Few things, wish there was a water option on the non pond side. Also I wish they would cover the drainage pipes in the pond area. My dog is curious and not scared of an obstacle. There has been more than one occasion she has tried to crawled in.
Overall a solid option for doggie fun on a summer day.

It was just me and my pup last Saturday, so I can’t comment on the usual visitors to this dog park. Otis is solidly in the large dog category, so I also can’t say much about the small dog area, except that it looked bigger than others I’ve seen. This dog park seems brand-​spanking new, with well-​maintained grass and a pebble walking path (which is great if it gets muddy or wet) as well as 5 different dog toys people seem to have left. Woohoo for owners picking up after their dogs — no poop in sight! There is a pond area, which was closed for the season, according to its sign. (I am assuming this means the winter/​early spring season — hoping it opens up soon!)
All in all, great park that’s worth the 20+ minute drive from downtown. Otis and I will add it to our rotation.

A relatively new, but good park, bring your own water since there isn’t any. The only other shortcoming is that to access the dog beach you have to go through the large dog park.
For the most part, every time I’ve been here on weekend mornings, I’ve been the only one in the small dog park. Not sure how my dog would do with the 50+ pound dogs that are in the large park so I didn’t want to chance it.
Both areas are pretty big, and the pavilions in the park are nice for shade since the trees are pretty short.

Sorry I have to be the one to blemish a purrrfect rep ;). This place is really great. I love bringing my dog here. We drive from Reynoldsburg and its about 20 mins but totally worth it. I have a large dog and children. Both love coming here, and my only gripe is that there is no clean running water anywhere. No water fountains, no sinks in the bathrooms, which to me is very strange. This place can get really muddy, it would be nice if there was a place to wash my hands, and maybe, if it wasn’t too much a stretch, a place to wash my dogs paws before he gets into the car.

Great park! Clean, water available nearby, great swimming pond, shade, and lots of room to run! Kids park and bathrooms nearby! Only thing lacking is water for humans, so make sure you bring your own!
Totally worth the 20ish minute drive to get there. Kiko loves it and we will be back!

My dogs loved this park! It was awesome! They have 3 areas 1 for small dogs (under 20lbs) 1 for over 20lbs and the last is the pond area! They have a bucket of community toys which was super nice and trees planted strategically for the dogs enjoyment ! It was really great!!! My dogs played and played! I will def be coming back! We give it 3 paws up!!!
