Dog Walkers in Wernert's Corner

Wernerts Corner is a suburban, residential neighborhood located northwest of Toledo, Ohio. Residents of this neighborhood can easily access commercial areas on foot with plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants, and a variety of other services located in their area. Services are located along Laskey Road, on the community's northern border, and the west end of Laskey Road has a large commercial area while the east end has the Miracle Mile Shopping Plaza. 

The climate in this region of Ohio is a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons and walking conditions vary with the time of year. The proximity to Lake Erie moderates the climate somewhat, however, winters are still cold and snowy so warm winter outerwear is required when walking with your doggy pal. Summers are warm and humid and can sometimes become sweltering depending on the weather patterns over the lake. Be prepared with water for you and your pooch on these hot days.

The Wernerts Corner neighborhood is approximately 0.4 sq. miles with a population of about 1674 people not including canines!  The area is predominantly residential with commercial areas along the northern border. Tremainsville Road is the main thoroughfare that runs through the district at an angle from northwest to southeast. Shantee Creek runs along the south border of the community and there are green areas around the creek. Some residential homes in Wernerts Corner are character homes with unique architectures. Many homes are situated on exceptionally large suburban properties with huge setbacks, sprawling lawns, mature shade trees, and landscaping with lots of space between residences. 

The terrain is flat and easy to traverse with sidewalks and grassy berms for pedestrians and their canine companions which are perfect for strolling. Residential areas are peaceful, park-like, and hospitable for walking while commercial areas have heavier traffic and dog owners will need to be more vigilant in these areas.

Shantee Creek runs past Bowman Park which has a paved pedestrian path along its perimeter, running past trees, a creek, and ravine. This is an ideal greenway to take your dog for a run with natural areas on one side and, on the other side of the greenway, you can check out a ball game or some of the other recreational activities in this park. Bowman Park has many amenities such as lighted ball diamonds, basketball courts, picnic sites with barbecues, a playground, shuffleboard, and a soccer field. A greenway running along the other side of Shantee Creek can be enjoyed by you and your pup and separates Bowman Park from Dibble Park.  

Dibble Park has plenty of open spaces and trees to play with your pup and access to the creekside greenway. Other parks in the region featuring paved pathways, access to greenways, and rest areas include Corbin Park, Wernerts Field, and Foxglove Meadow Park.
