The West Bloomfield Dog Park
|
The West Bloomfield Dog Park is located in Karner Farm at 5911 Halsted Road. This property is shared with our Community Garden. Entrance into the park is controlled by a keyless electronic system. The park has drinking water, seasonally, for dogs and bags for waste disposal. The park is open daily, year-round from 8 am to 8 pm except on Wednesdays when it closes from 8 to 11 am for maintenance.
The Dog Park offers nearly 4 acres of fenced-in area and is divided into 3 sections – one for all dogs, one for small dogs up to 25 lbs and one for people with physical limitations (ADA Accessible). |
