    I have a 5 year old Great Dane and was so excited when I heard that Waukee was opening up a new dog…read morepark this Spring! We went to check it out yesterday and we loved it! It has its own parking lot with 21 spots so good parking. There are apartment buildings on both sides and I believe you can park there or on the street if the parking lot is full. What I really love about this dog park that is different from all the ones I've frequented in Des Moines and Ankeny was that they have bathrooms (for humans)! It's to the right of the dog park entrance and clean and convenient. They also have drinking fountains available in between. As you walk into the park, there is a large dog area and a small dog area which is great. We obviously checked out the large dog area. There is a height limit for the small dog area as you can see in the pics. The whole park is about 4 acres and has concrete walking paths that go around the park and also to the back entrance (yes, there are 2 entrances!). Each entrance has a water fountain and there's even 1 in the middle of the park so your dog doesn't have to fight for water and you can keep them very hydrated! There's also a shade structure right in the middle and a couple benches. Dog waste stations and bags are provided too. You do need to pay for a pass that can be found on the website but it's very easy to sign up. Overall, the park isn't as big as Raccoon River Dog Park or the Ankeny Dog Park but it still has plenty of green spaces for the doggies to run around, play, and do their business and still has some good extra ammenities. We will definitely come back again!

    This is our 78th dog park and we love it.

What it has: Double gates Two large dog sections (big/all and small) Water fountains (3 of them w/ multiple spouts) Benches Shade And all grass (except for walk ways) Parking is crazy easy One Port-o-potty in parking lot Provisions for composting dog waste ..... great dogs, great people! Rules are enforced between the people and animal control who show up within minutes. What I would fix. First front gate has a big gap and my dog got out on my second visit, second lock the gate between the small section and the large dog section. My dog almost got out and into the large dig section when I did not want to commit to 8 acres of time and fun. There is zero reason to not walk around if you want to switch sections, and double gates should always be in place before someone comes or goes. Comment. Where I'm front you have to get a dog license and go get it you prove you have current rabies vaccinations. Here you only do that to use the dog park. This leaves much of the city not covered for rabies, no income to that dept, and stress to dog park staff to enforce the required permit to use the park. If I were the city I would investigate how the majority of other parks do it. Amazing place! I was very pleased with it.
