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).
