  Make small area larger please!

  Three areas (newbies, small dogs, and large). Small area is too small. Overall was nicely maintained grass, shaded areas, water fountains, and restroom. Parking lot could be larger, but I've seen worse. Three stars due to small dog area. No complaints though! Thank you, city workers!!

  New Favorite Park!

  This dog park is delightful! Solid turf for running and fetching, plenty of shade and benches and poop bags, an obstacle course area, double dog water fountain, nearby people bathrooms, parking, plenty of places to explore and nice people! We will be back!

  Many Options

  Park has 3 sections: large dogs, small dogs, and newcomers. We appreciated the newcomers section as it was less overwhelming than the other 2 which are much larger areas. Park is well taken care of and we enjoyed our time there.

  We Love It Here!

  Actually found this park to be very nice and delightful! Just loved the small dog area! Everyone there picked up after themselves and so there were no accidents! We plan to come again!

  Favorite Dog Park

  Love this park. It’s got three separate areas, small dogs, first timers and the main area for big dogs. During the week the best time is mid day, they upkeep the park really well. The main downside is they keep it closed after it rains even when it’s sunny in order to preserve the grass. That’s when pups need to get the most energy out cuz they’ve been cooped up during the rain!

  peaceful & well maintained

  Love this newly found park. Grassy with gorgeous landscaping, lots of shady areas to sit, like an oasis for pups and humans. You have to drive all the way in to the community park and follow the path...

  Never on Weekends

  During the weekdays, during the day, this is a great park, but after work hours and on the weekends-it can be really crowded, and, in this instance, there is no safety in numbers. There is often one bad apple who neglects an aggressive dog attacking your dog while chit chatting during these times. Avoid these times unless you have vet insurance

  A review from man's best friend!

  I love when mom takes me to Maggie Houlihan Dog Park. It's so big that I can really stretch my long legs when she throws my ball. I love that there are places where I can drink water on a hot day so mom doesn't have to lug my container around. There are benches for her to sit down and I can snuggle her while catching my breath. There is so much room that I am able to run around with all of my dog friends without running over other people. Mom says this is the best dog park in Noeth County and boy of boy I agree.

We dug up a dog picture at Maggie Houlihan Memorial Dog Park.
