Red Oaks Dog Park

Totaling a little over 5-acres, the Red Oaks Dog Park makes for a fantastic place to bring a highly energetic canine to run down their energy a bit. Although the Red Oaks Dog Park is open to the public and free to visitors, those who do not reside within walking distance are going to be subjected to a $5 parking fee or will need to walk a long way to get there. 

The ground at the Red Oaks Dog Park is grass and stays relatively green during the spring and summer months. Some of the high traffic areas, like the entrance, can get worn down and turn into dirt periodically. This dirt can then turn into a mud pit after heavy rainfall, meaning your canine will likely leave quite dirty if these conditions are met. 

Although natural shade is missing from this dog park, there is a large pavilion built above some picnic tables that provide some shade and shelter from the elements. The Red Oaks Dog Park offers water fountains at both human and canine height so you and your canine can stay hydrated. The team in charge of maintaining this dog park do a good job. 

The grass is regularly cut, and the grounds stay quite clean. The fence here is tall enough to contain most canines, but a large dog with a high jump could likely make it over the fence. The fence here also separates this area into sections for large and small canines. The small canine part of the dog park can be a bit hard to find; you will want to look for the building adjacent to this dog park and look behind it for the entrance. 

The building itself at the dog park is for the parks and recreations team but does have public restrooms available for you during the spring and summer months. The public toilets are closed during the late fall and winter, and the water is turned off to prevent the lines from freezing. Overall, the Red Oaks Dog Park is a wonderful place to bring your dog.
