Well-needed break from the car for our dog. Good fence, perfect for fetch, and plenty to explore in there. Thank you!

Matthew was super accommodating for our last minute trip with a foster dog to meet her new family. The yard is large with a very secure privacy fence all around it. The resident dog had dug several holes in the yard, but the yard was very clean. Would definitely return.

FAQ About Waterloo Dog Parks
