Dog walking in Perry

Center Tyler Industrial Park

In less than 20 minutes, you and your dog can drive to the City of Mentor Dog Park in western-central Mentor, Ohio. This beloved off-leash dog park is open during daylight hours, and it has a section for big dogs, as well as another area just for the little pups. There's also a double-gated entry system so you can leash and unleash your dog safely. Within the park, there are water fountains, waste disposal supplies, picnic tables, and plenty of toys for your pup to play with. When you need shade from the sun or shelter from the rain, you'll also love that Mentor Dog Park has a few pavilions with seating areas.

Sunnydale

The 18-mile drive to central Eastlake, Ohio will take you just over 20 minutes to complete, and this trip gets you to the Eastlake Dog Park. This off-leash park is part of Woodland Park, and it sits on about 3/4 of an acre. Rather than being separated their weight, dogs of all sizes can interact with one another at Eastlake Dog Park. As an added safety measure, Eastlake Dog Park has a double-gated entry system, benches, a parking lot, and waste disposal supplies. There are often bowls set up throughout the park, but be sure to bring your own drinking water for your dog.

This off-leash park has not one, not two, but three separate areas for your dog to explore. There's a 2.57-acre big dog area, a 1.84-acre swimming area, and a 1.02-acre small dog area. Your dog will have to enter the big dog area to access the swimming area, and the dog park is open from dawn to half an hour after sunset.

This spacious dog park has different enclosures for big and small dogs, and there's also seating to keep human visitors comfortable. Both sections have bright red fire hydrants and tunnels for dogs to run through, and there are tennis balls for your pup to chase, too. Euclid Dog Park provides waste disposal supplies, but bring your own drinking water in case the bowls are empty.

Monticello Blvd/S Belvoir Blvd

The northwestern corner of South Euclid, Ohio is less than 30 miles from Perry. This area is where you'll find Quarry Park North, a great city park with playgrounds, a splash pad, sports fields, and the city's only dog park! The South Euclid Dog Park has plenty of room for all dogs to play, and it doesn't divide dogs into separate sections by their weight. There are water pumps and bowls at the park, as well as seating areas and waste disposal supplies. If your adventurous dog likes to show off for their friends, they can also put their skills to the test on the various pieces of agility equipment in the park.
