Dog walking in Irwin

Melvin Miller Park

Melvin Miller Park is a green retreat in the western part of North Urbana which is home to Urban Parks and Recreation area, the Municipal Pool and Fido’s Field, which is a 2.5-acre fenced dog park for every canine visitor regardless of size or temperament. The park was created thanks to the local community’s initiative, and now features two designated areas for pups under and over 25 lbs., making socializing experience especially pleasant for dogs as much as for their owners. You will also find some benches, shaded areas and doggie drinking fountains for thirsty canines tired of chasing each other or playing fetch. Don’t fur-get to bring some waste bags!

N Maple St

Marysville is the city “where the Grass is Greener” in Union County. North Maple Street takes its root in the city center, stretching north, going along Schwarzkopf Park and heading farther off US-33. But you don’t have to travel too far to find a good place to bring Fido. Bark Park, a new favorite place among four-legged visitors, is set not far from the city center at 455 North Maple Street. The park is fully fenced and features 4 acres of off-leash joy, offering pawed paths, benches, lots of grass, trees, and hills. The park is naturally amazing, giving pooches a chance to socialize in the two separate areas for different sized canines.

Cosgray Road/Rings Road

Daree Fields Parks is a green recreation area located in the western part of Dublin, far from its downtown. This park features a number of outdoor activities and has a specially designated fenced area for dogs – Nando’s Dog Park. You can’t say that the dog park is spacious, but there is a separate area for small breeds to play and frisk, as well as drinking water, several benches and even a picnic area for having a nice day out or sharing a sandwich together. You will also find some simple agility equipment for exercising! In bad or rainy weather, the park may get muddy, so do take some water with you to wash your bud’s paws off before heading home.

Central Hilliard

Heritage Trails is a unique place to bring Fido, stretching for 7 miles and located in the northern part of the city of Hilliard running from downtown, through Homestead Park to Cemetery Pike. Apart from pawesome walking trails, the place features a 4-acre off-leash area where your mutt can have a blast! Dogs love the exercise tunnels, sprinklers, and splash pad here! This is the only park featuring two separate areas for active and less active pooches regardless of their size. Shaded areas and a number of pathways and benches are available for pet parents.

NE Plain City/Georgesville Road

Prairie Oaks Metro Park is a leafy recreation area in the northern part of West Jefferson with Three Mile Creek and several lakes located off West Freeway. The place is a great spot for hiking, fishing, boating and a number of other outdoor activities to have fun or escape the summer heat. Your lovely mutt is welcome to join you in any activity you choose, except for Bridle Trail, provided they remain on leash. For some off-leash fun, head to the playground near the lake, but make sure to supervise your mutt since the spot is not fenced.
