Fairlawn Dog Park

Small dog park in Fairlawn memorial park. Park gas astroturf and sand. Water, bags, and trash were available. Separate sections for large and small dogs. Small dog section was crowded, but no other pups in the large dog section. Not hugely impressive, but seems like a decent park, especially in a city environment

We had a very positive experience there in the early spring and returned yesterday. The artificial grass is a great way to keep paws clean. However, it really reeked yesterday. The dearth of rain the past several months has created the need for a regular power wash. As often is the case with dogs, the humans are the larger issue. I also speculate that lazy dog walkers bring their clients there. They simply cannot properly oversee three or four dogs at once. When we pulled up, a woman took two dogs that were much too large for the small-dog section out of the area and put them in her car with out-of-state plates. She stayed with those dogs in the car. It immediately became clear that she should have taken King the intact Boston terrier out. King very quickly aggressively mounted our neutered male. I repeatedly used the handle of the harness of King to pull him off our dog and verbally admonished King only to have King immediately jump back on our dog. The woman witnessed from her car but let it go on for several minutes before removing King. The woman stayed in her car with King and the two large dogs while her good boy client Teddy, a shaggy cutie, nicely played with our dog and us. Roughly, 15 minutes later a mean-looking intact pit bull and his two equal tough-looking human companions came into the park. The dog being a vicious breed and still being intact should have kept him out of the enclosure at least when other dogs were there. We cut our visit short by grabbing our dog and leaving before something happened. I believe that there already is a Barker (Bob, not canine) Law about spaying or neutering your pets. The park should ban them and all pit bulls as well as limit dogs to two per group. Especially at the beginning of regulations, the park also should post someone at the park on the weekends.

Park is power washed ONCE in spring..every inch of that astro turff has been peed on pooped 💩 on..DO NOT ALLOW your dog to put ""random " dog park tennis balls in their mouths!!!!! DO not let ya dogs leash drag!!!.you have zero idea IF other dogs have been vaccinated, parasites, parvo etc .ALWAYS. irresponsible dog owners,,constantdog fights .walk the park and exercise!!!,,this place unfortunately is a septic leach feild..stay away.

Great park for dogs to be free . Fresh water,clean,perfect spot. It also has trash can and poop bags. The only thing it really needs is a shade spot for us to cover from the sun, but to be honest it's better than nothing. Thank u

Started going there a couple of summers ago and it's awesome. All the dogs are friendly. My dog has so much fun and looks forward to going there! Try it out! There's a yard for small dogs and a yard for big dogs. All the dogs are spayed and neutered.
