1st The name is The Johnson Park Dog Run (it is City of Racine Park )The map as shown is not accurate, shows the south end of it as park but is actually private land that has a fence accross it since it was bought last fall

Great dog park! Lots of nice trails with pretty scenery of the fields, woods, and the nearby river. My dogs loved swimming in the river. A few benches available along the trails to take a rest if needed. Would give it 5 stars if the park was fully fenced in, but it's only fenced in certain places. So it's very important for dogs to know how to come when called at this park, for both dogs' and human's safety. Good recall is a must. Overall a great park! Will definitely return. (Bring mosquito/tick spray!)

One of the best off leash dog exercise areas for pups that enjoy room to run and swim. A water feature includes a frog pond, fast moving river that breaks down into a slower stream. Lots of wildlife, native prairie grasses and trees including apple and walnuts growing along the trails. Easy to walk, loads to enjoy.

If your looking for sidewalks ,fences and like to have your dog on a leash this park isn't for you. I love this place and take my dog at least once a week. There's rivers to play in ,ducks to chase, and hills valleys to roam. Walk on wood chips or venture out on trails.
