Every pup loves a trip to the park; so why not bring your pooch along to Crete Park in the Crete Village Center?

In addition, the trees at Crete Park provide some shade for your panting pup when it is warm outside.

This is mainly through forested areas, as well as prairies along the way; what a great place for pooches to use their senses! In addition, there is plenty of oppawtunity for bird spotting at Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve! Remember to bring water and treats for you and your furry friend, as there aren't any nearby.
