Read more about Sundet Off-Leash Dog ParkNot much to this small park space, one of those old fashioned city center parks that is mostly lawn with a few amenities. There are walking paths, benches, swings and partially covered shelters. Also the historic statue. And the large trees provide plenty of shade Some lore about this park is that when I was in college in 2006, we filmed a short film here that screened in a few small film festivals. Had a great time as one of the actors Beautiful spot in historic Water St neighborhood that is worth a stroll
Read more about Randall ParkBest off-leash dog park in Eau Claire/ Chippewa County with access to Chippewa River, great for dogs that love to swim, cant wait for summer when they have the land graded and mulched. Looks like a trail is being made running along river. There are also multiple sand dunes/beaches for easy access to water. I hope more dog owners learn about this park as the weather gets warmer. I would say it is comparable to the twin cities Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park that runs along the Mississippi River. There is a fee so make sure you bring $3 or file the dog license and dog park application paperwork online. I did the latter.
Read more about Southwest Dog ParkGreat place to allow your dog to run. Usually other pet owners are respectful, although like everywhere, there's sometimes that one guy who has a dog with zero training or manners. Overall, this is a great park for your dog friends.
