Dog Parks In Central Ohio?

Can anyone recommend a good dog park in the Columbus or Dayton area?

There are always lots of people walking dogs on leashes, and good dogs can go off-leash and swim in one particular area of the lake. It's very muddy there so everyone's (dogs and people!) always very wet and messy by the time we leave. But the dogs love it! :); ▶ Reply to This

The dog park is on a 4-acre site along the Alum Creek reservoir near the Alum Creek Marina. The grounds include a fenced area with water access for dogs that enjoy water sports, and two additional fenced areas for small and large dogs.; ▶ Reply to This

And they have an agility course which is great for my Border Collie. The park is right beside the Animal Resource Center.; ▶ Reply to This

I know of the Bark Park in Dayton and of the Dog Park at Alum Creek Park. I have heard that there is a dog beach at the Alum Creek Dog park!

I'm curious about the dog park in Centerville... where is it?; ▶ Reply to This

There is Wiggly Field at the Voice of America park in West Chester off of the Tylersville Rd. exit on I-75. It is big and pretty well kept, but there is no shade.; ▶ Reply to This

There, dogs are permitted off leash and there is a 2.5 mile dog trail that goes thru out the park. There are 3 seperate lakes in which a dog can swim. The only problem I have encountered is some owners not picking up after their dogs. Its a nice place to go, and fishing is permitted.; ▶ Reply to This

It offers two fenced in areas; one for small dogs and one for larger dogs. We were the only people there, so I think it's somewhat of a secret still!; ▶ Reply to This
