Ferndale Dog Park (Membership Required)

Great park! It’s changing a lot the years. In the past 3 years (since 2015) they have added a dog park, tore down a school, built 20 homes, removed a roller skate rink, not about to add a skate park. You can still go there and have a great time with the dog and Slackline!

Cute fenced area for the dogs to run and play in. Public restrooms. Picnic area, playground, and soccer field. One star off because I found a bag of poop and a used ear swab. Bring hand sanitizer.

All star ratings are for the bathroom, not the establishment. The Ferndale Dog Park was the closest Google had to "Wilson Park". The bathroom here is a pretty common luxury outhouse. I have seen worse, but this is nothing special. The good thing about it is that people are already expecting it to be smelly... so if you can brave it yourself... go for it.... good luck.

It’s a mediocre park at best. The biggest issue is just that there aren’t many people bringing their dogs here so there’s not much of a good experience for your pet to socialize. Also my dog was once bit on the face while she was there, so that wasn’t very cool. Overall, it’s a pretty underwhelming place. Mark Twain dog park is just 15 minutes north of here and that park is always busy with so many dogs, responsible pet owners who are super friendly, and it’s huge. Maybe this place will improve over time? But anyone who thinks this is a great dog park probably has just never been to an actual good one.

This is a really nice dog park. It has a dog fountain, dog courses, trash cans with doggy bags and even some toys laying around. It’s divided into 2 sections: 20 lbs. You do need a key fob to get in. You have to take an online course and pay $50/year for the access. Unless someone who’s already there it’s nice enough to let you have access to it.
