   #2 North Royal Oak

   Nearly 60,000 people live in Royal Oak, Michigan, and the city is just south of Clawson. In northern-central Royal Oak, there's a place called Quickstad Park, and it's only one mile or a two-minute drive from Clawson. Quickstad Park is a 2.54-acre park that was dedicated in 1955. In addition to the park's many trails, there is also an off-leash space in the park. The Quickstad Park Off-Leash Dog Area is a designated section of the park where dogs of all sizes can interact with one another off of their leashes. The area isn't fully fenced, however, so if your dog's recall skills aren't up to snuff, it's best to keep them on a leash.
