Arlington-Arkwright Dog Park

Off-​leash dog park — our chihuahua mix loves it.

It’s a close neighborhood dog park. Easy and fun for the dogs! Everyone who comes to this park is nice and the dogs are also well mannered too.

This big green space is tucked back in the middle of housing and has plenty of street parking available — be prepared to do some walking – there are soccer fields that are in decent shape and some playground equipment — mostly open lots of dense green grass — good place to take your city kids and them burn off some energy. I did not go into the «dog» area or see any dogs as I stayed on one side of this massive park

This is a great park for a short jaunt. Compared to Battle Creek park this is tiny.
My lab loves running through the woods, up hills, saying hi to everyone. I try to keep up with my dog; some people don’t. Hmmm
Lots of poop bag stations, well maintained trails.

This is a really big dog park. You’re supposed to park in the lot so the neighbors don’t get pissed about the on-​street parking, but they ARE public streets, so do what you want. There are hills and trails and basins and forest areas. You should bring some water to share, because even though there are regulars there, they don’t always bring enough. It’s nice this whole place is fenced in and dogs can run freely. There are mailboxes full of dog bags and trash cans that are no ordinary trash can. They are thousand dollar receptacles that are dug out underneath. I think it’s just a way to waste money. Anyway, I used to come here a lot, but I was there and some dog bit mine (I have a pit bull mix, theirs was a black lab or something) because my dog got the ball everyone was chasing. A lot of people just let their dog run freely while they chat, and have no control over their dog. A lot of people don’t know dog park etiqutte. A lot of people are judgemental or get attitudes about what happens there. One woman brought a tinnny dog and got upset when the huge dogs were chasing it. I don’t really go here so much any more. There are a group of people who really do care about the park and are responsible dog owners, though.
