Well maintained off leash areas for large and small dogs. Excellent year round location for your dog(s) to blow off energy and rest when they get back home.

If we still lived in the area, we definitely would have continued our membership. Absolutely worth every penny, assuming you actually bring your dog. The park is gigantic and is split up into two sides. This allows for the grass to heal on one side and not get too muddy. The park rangers do come and check for passes from time to time so if you intend on trying to sneak in for free, be wary that they actually do check. Overall, the park is very well maintained. Owners who go here are responsible and actually clean up after their dogs. We now live closer to a free park which is nice, but the size and quality of Whalon Lake is unmatched.

This park offers open space, bike trails, mowed trails, pavilions, prairie, marsh, historic relics, large and small dog park, fishing, kayaking, wildlife, deer, trees and overall pristine natural beauty. It’s a hidden gem that has different personalities each season of the year and time of the day. Hope you go enjoy this beautiful nature preserve.

I used to belong and take my dogs ... but bad dogs and very nasty owners. I just got fed up with politely asking and getting rude nasty replies. I would see people calling the police on people and their dogs ! This is what I pay money for? I now walk my dog around the lake and do not go to the dog park. One last thing about the dog park ... they do not take any care of tick infestation. Check your dogs often.

A mud pit most days. I’ve asked that they consider mulching the muddy areas and they said they don’t mulch the dog parks. They have, so this person apparently isn’t involved with that. More modern dog parks have rinse off stations - this one does not. So a trip to the dog park becomes a commitment to dog baths and car detailing after a visit. Pass

We stopped by to let our puppy run free. Between socializing with other small dogs and running around, I don't recall seeing this puppy so happy! Beautiful location that's full of dog lovers. Simy devine.

This place is nice but you have to watch your car because of the low life bums that break into peoples car when you go to walk. They still didn’t install cameras or have people on dutie not to mention they don’t have anything special that keeps aggressive dogs out. Just last week three cars broken into I think we’ll go to a different dog park that takes care of their paying customers.

Very clean, well kept dog park. My dogs love coming here!

It was a beautiful day and the associates were friendly as they answered our questions and helped with the rental kayaks.

Large area for dogs to run. Awesome views for the owners. A lot of barking going on.

Bike/ walk trails, picnic tables and grills available, beautiful scenery. A bit of city noise so not a total escape from it but pretty close. We saw herons, geese, ducks, turtles... veeeeeery lively there with animals.

Decent facility. Gates and fencing are run down and rusty. Could use a fountain for the dogs to make it easier to water them.

Glorious large dog park, well kept facilities ample parking and even a clean bathroom. Separate area for small dogs if you like. Be mindful when you arrive though, of my 4 visits over the holiday, two included off leash pit bull aggression.

Plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. Two large fields are rotated between frequently for the big dogs (ensures no major wear and tear on the grass) and a separate section for smaller pets. My only comment to the entrance sometimes gets a little messy because of the small gravel (should be replaced with wood chips imo). But all of the dogs definitely love this park and that's what matters.

This location was absolutely perfect for our little gathering for my granddaughter! The pavilion gave us a place to eat with distance, we used the green space under a big tree to experience some shaded sunlight, and the walking path and lake view were beautiful to the adults and intriguing to the children. We will definitely come again and again!

This park is really big and It's really fun to go with your family, And to go walking 😍😍😍

Love this dog park! Every so often they switch sides which keeps the grass together and keeps it interesting for our dog. Plus, they have a small dog section that is perfect for when we bring our senior dog. The $40 for the year is very worth it!

It was awesome! My wife and I are up here visiting from North Carolina, and we Google to find this park. We took our small dog in and around! Other than being mad at you because of all the snow that's occurred over the last couple of weeks, it was lots of fun and there's lots of open space for him to run around!

Best outdoor place in the middle of busy suburban landscape. Good for canoeing, paddle boat, skate board or just walk/run. A new bridge has made this place even more scenic. A dog park makes it even more attractive for pet owners. Don't forget to take a picture and post it on social media accounts for the park

Nice park Lake has usually been good fishing when I fish. Dog park you need a permit $20 for 6 months according to patron I asked said they don't charge if it is a 1 time visit. This photo is a short walk south of dog park.

My grandson had his surprise birthday party here. Dog park is nice but people also were running,walking and biking. Just on a quick inspection I see little space to fish.

Nice nature dog park

Doggie Heaven!!! Don't forget to bring your own H20!

Great place to walk around your dog.

Great place to commune with nature. Dog loved it. Hoping to see the Eagles next time.

Dog park requires registration

Beautiful well cap space for dogs to run free

Awesome place. People are friendly and dogs have a great time.

My dog’s fave place in the world

I have been coming here for yeeeeears. Nice trails and open areas to play with your dogs, my only concern is that there are some owners who do not keep an eye on their dogs, or will not move them away from the Entrance Gate where they can be a little intimidating and aggressive.

Clean and very busy every time we go my pooch loves it and so do I when he's knocked out after!

don't come here on a holiday without your dog park permit

Nice location to relax and fish

We love this place and are here probably 5 days a week. Huge area for the dogs to run free. Make sure you register and wear your pass!

Great park for everything

Great park. Lots of space. Clean

I love the fact that there is a separate small dog park. My little girl is afraid of big dogs and the small park is still huge enough for her to run and run. The park is very well kept up and so clean.

We drive here every day with our poodles.. we stay in the car because one of our dog's cant take germs from other dogs...a calming place to watch nature and people.

Magnificent large dog park, well-maintained facilities with ample parking.

Nice paths and scenic views

I liked watching all the dogs playing

LOVE THAT THE OTHER DOGS PUR MY PUPPY INTO HER PLACE! SAVES ME SOME MONEY 💰

Great place to hike and exercise the dog

Beautiful walking path around this lake. Lovely little lakes sprinkled along the path also.

Nice and clean even some tall grass spots for the dogs to play in safely. The benches on the small dog side doesnt have any overhead cover

Loved it

Its beautiful, there is NO shade at all so bring a hat. You can bike walk or run there.

Nice place. Great views, great location.

The park itself is beautiful but beware if there are larger dogs there watch your dog closely as my poor dog got trampled by a group of larger dogs and the owners didn’t call them off as she was knocked to the ground. She’s just at cutoff for weight between the two entrances at around 35lbs so we took her to the larger dog side. It looks like a group meetup as they seemed to know each other. I would never let my dog behave that way and not apologize to the owner. We went to the smaller dog side that was empty and let her play and luckily she had a nice time to running around. I will take her to the small dog side on until she is bigger. Geez.

Dogs are so kind and meeting other animals

I love this place. Great time to spend with the family

Love this place

Entrance is on Royce Rd, it has 3 small parks, one for small and for large dogs. The third is rotated out for grass regrowth. Usually not packed, even before Covid-19, overall it's kept clean and maintained. Also walking to Whalon Lake albeit leashed is a nice walk as well.

She loves it here

Nice place to go fishing.

Great space for small dogs. Don't have a large dog so i can't taste that. Large area, well maintained. Might want bug spray.

Power lines make a weird uncomfortable noise but it's a nice long walk around the pond

Amazing scenery. Peaceful

Always a great choice. Big enough that it doesnt get too crowded.

It's so big and lush, and the trail is so exciting to walk! You pass by the lake and then walk by and see the cute dogs!

Very clean open area with a little bit of woods in the back a nice secure entrance I joined Saturday been there every day I might go a second time later today
