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.

I'm always look forward to trying a new dog park for my furry friend but was deeply disappointed…read morewith one of the rules being "Community bowls or pools may not be brought to or left at the dog park." and with there being only one source of hydration (a small spicket) and one spot where shade is given (picnic pavilion), this made it difficult for my dog and I to stay. Despite my dog being a high-energy, heat stroke can happen to any one of our fluffy companions and water being poorly accessible is a huge risk. I am happy with how much space is provided not only in the parking lot, but the yard itself. It was well maintained/paved, and owners were diligent in picking up any waste left by their pet. The fencing was in perfect condition with no signs of holes or breakage! Everyone was friendly and respectful. I do appreciate there being rules and discrepancies for dog fights and what to do in the event of one as well as the Madison Heights animal control number being listed.

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!

We didn't have a fenced in yard and my pup just needed somewhere to run. City requirements made me so much more comfortable with the other dogs in the park, knowing that they were also vaccinated and registered. The secured entry ensures that not just any dog off the street can wander in. The other dog owners are friendly and responsible. Everyone keeps a close eye on their pet to ensure that play doesn't get too rough and poo is picked up. If someone misses their dog pooing, other folks will either help find the 'land mine' or often pick it up for them. There are multiple water bowls and a faucet with fresh water to fill them up at (which owners take turns doing regularly). There are two separate play spaces, one that's ~four acres and another that's for small dogs under 22lbs. The facility contains several benches and waste receptacles with free dog waste bags. The many "regulars" at this park form an awesome community. Everyone chips in to keep the park in tip top shape, owners know almost all of the others dogs' names, watch out for each other's pets and share both funny stories and useful info that can only come from another dog lover. There's even a playground outside of the park for the kiddos - dog park outings are fun and active for our whole family!

Good size with two areas, one for small dogs and the other for all dogs. Bowls and water is available, even a port o john for people. Only wish there was more trees within the dog area because shade makes for happier dogs and humans. So far all dog people seem kind, professional and aware of surroundings. Great job FH, all cities should have dog parks!

They have three pickup stations so you don't even have to bring your own bags which is extremely convenient. They're the good bags too - the ones you stick your whole hand in so there's no mess. The only downside (like much of the world) are the people that come sometimes. Some people don't pick up after their dogs for whatever reason even though there's no reason not to. Currently because it's been so cold there are several dog turds that are frozen to the ground. Hope it's better maintained in the warmer months.
