My first dog was a beagle named Sully. He was born in 2004 when Snoop Dogg and Pharell came out…read morewith "Drop It Like It's Hot." I don't think I had ever had a cell phone in 2004. Damn! Now, that was a long time ago! Back in those days my young beagle never, ever got tired AND there were very few Milwaukee area dog parks so Sully and I frequented the Katherine Kearney Carpenter dog park. He got tired and I got relaxed. It was a win, win. This park is quite large as far as dog parks go. And, it's stunningly beautiful. There are wooded areas, prairie areas as well as a small creek. Do be aware, it is not fenced in. There are a few benches scattered throughout for a break and there is an agility course for the dogs on the north entrance. Sully was quite noteworthy at The Park. He loves "hunting" which involved baying or howling in a loud, high-pitched sound. People would often hear him before they saw him. His voice was so high-pitched people often worried that he was injured. Nope, just "hunting." Sully passed in 2019. We had such a fun time together and he lived a full, happy life. My current dog Sylvie is now 5 years old and I took to this park for the first time this fall. I reminisced and felt just a bit closer to my sweet boy Sully. And, Sylvie had a blast! She loves to swim! This is a wonderful park to relax, for dogs to get exercise and to be truly in nature. You'll love it here!

I intentionally went looking for this park with my service dog today and I was not disappointed…read more It's a beautiful park that offers clean open spaces, trails, grass, a fenced in area furry large and small dogs, interesting people, and more fun than my little 20 lbs of fur could stand! He's snoring his head off right now after running around like a madman in the small stuff area with his new BFF Charlie the Corgi! He also had fun in the big dog area with Dozer who really wanted to play! It was nice to be around people who were attentive to their fur babies vs walking trails with headphones on ignoring dogs that run wild in wooded off leash parks. I recently had a bad encounter with dogs jumping on me and dashing at my smaller dog. He is my service dog because I have a neurological disorder that causes me to lose my balance and fall. It's really irritating when people let their big dogs dash, run, and jump throughout a park and they are nowhere near to correct the dog. In this park, that can't happen because the area is more of an exercise area. It's enclosed but large enough for the dogs to really have fun chasing, tumbling, and running. The large dog area has a few challenge obstacles inside but nothing to obstruct ball tossing or free play. Within the play area, there are no trees for sugar to hide and dash at the unsuspecting passersby. Every parent can't see his/her baby and hold them accountable for good behavior! Outside the enclosures, there are many trails for those who want 1:1 encounters with their fur babies and nature. I walked the trail first with my dog. We love walking along trails. I give him plenty of time to sniff everything and I let him direct the adventure. Then, we went to the fenced area for some socializing (a.k.a. play). He had a great time and so did I. There are signs up that indicate there are fees to use this park. I'm not sure if that's still the case. So check it out before you go. The gates were up and open when I arrived but if there's a fee, I would say it's well worth it! This park was clean and attractive. It would be a great place for families, couples, singles, disabled, and dogs!!! We felt centered and calm when we left and can't wait to visit again!

Overall, it's a beautiful, quiet place for nature, reflection, and lake views, and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great hike in lovely Port Washington WI, just north of Milwaukee. Ample free parking. Not to say it…read moredoesn't get crowded, but it wasn't bad when we were there on a weekend. There is a paved trail which isn't too long, but is ADA compliant so that's a plus. We did a three mile loop, checking out the bluffs and taking the stairs down to the secluded little beach. Lots of poison ivy....which is normal to the area, but really it's best to avoid it by staying on trail and covering up. Seemed like leashed and/or well behaved dogs were welcome. Worth checking out.

I had a hard time finding the way back to the parking lot yesterday after a wrong turn and would appreciate some signs pointing you in direction of parking lot, it seems like over time with traffic new paths were created that make the park confusing to navigate which caused me some stress because no one else was at the park at around 6:30 pm when I was trying to leave and my phone was broken. Trails are slippery when muddy, wish paths had surface material like wood planks or pavers installed for safety. With flooding and poor path conditions you should leave phone and other devices you don't want to get water on in car, learned that the hard way on last trip.
