I feel like our backyard is a little slice of heaven on earth! We have 3 pups of our own and can appreciate a safe place for them to roam off leash. But the pond is so tranquil that people can enjoy the space too. Even without pups!!

Donnas Retreat | 5 Acres Fenced w/ mini pond private dog park

5 acres

Welcome to our home. We have one dog named Donna - Dowanda when she’s sassy, and recently had to say goodbye to our dear Scooby. We want to share our dog paradise with other dogs and dog parents while we're raising our two human babies. Hopefully, years from now we will have 10 dogs to run free here, but for now, we want to spread the love. We do NOT treat the lawn/property with any chemicals. Please enjoy the fields, pond, short trail through the woods, toys, treats, baby pool, and more!

Ashley's 4 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Coshocton

Located on a township road. Very minimal traffic. We don’t see other dogs, but you can hear our neighbors dogs on the hill. Occasionally our older neighbors across the road get in or out of the car or mow the yard. Otherwise you rarely see people. We have the occasional deer, squirrels, birds. The creek is accessible and not deep but leads into our little wooded area. We have an outdoor water faucet that’s accessible at all times for water. Swing set too.

.25 acres of 8ft. Fence! Hammock, Picnic Table, Porch Swing&More

0.25 acres

8 foot privacy fence Covers .25 acres Hammock, picnic table, porch swing and patio seating for you to relax while your pup plays! Feel free to bring some food to eat while they play or some friends to keep you company, make it a friend's time out! Small pond that can be enjoyed or if you would prefer you can borrow 1 or 2 of the stubborn invisible fence collars I have. The invisible fence goes under the privacy fence and around the pond to prevent unwanted swimming. There is a large porch with a patio table and chairs if you want to bring something to eat or just sit. A porch swing is also available on the porch while you watch your pup play. The porch also has a rolling gate at the top of the stairs to allow the pups to or not to access the porch. A hammock is down in the yard if you would like to relax there as well. I do not require you pick up your dogs potty as I also have 3 doggos and theres plenty of yard it has never been an issue. No muzzle, leash, or such requirements as it will just be you and who you bring. All breeds and sizes welcome! All I ask is if you have trash please take it with you so my doggos dont access it. And always latch the gate securely when leaving. Beyond those rules, enjoy the yard with your furbaby(s)!💜🐕

Alum Creek Dog Park

Alum Creek State Park Dog Park Guidelines • All dogs must get along well with humans and dogs of all sizes. • Users of the Dog Park do so at their own risk. Dog owners are responsible for any injury or damage caused by their dog (ORC 1533.18 and ORC 1533.181). • Dogs must be current with vaccinations. Each dog must display current license and rabies tags (ORC 955.10 and ORC 955.39). No puppies under 4 months old allowed because they will not have had all of their vaccinations. • Dogs in heat are not allowed (ORC 955.22B). • All Alum Creek State Park Rules apply and must be observed. • Parents/legal guardians assume all risk for their children. It is recommended that children under 12 stay outside of the fenced areas for their own protection. Children are not allowed to play within the fenced area of the Dog Park. No running, screaming, jumping, or chasing the dogs. All children must be closely supervised. • Dogs must be closely supervised and within sight and voice control of their handler at all times. Dogs may not be left unattended (any unattended dogs will be removed by the Dog Warden). All dog handlers must be at least 18 years old, or supervised by an adult. No more than 2 dogs per handler. • Any dog displaying signs of aggression must be removed from the Dog Park immediately. To discourage aggressive behavior we recommend that dog owners only bring animals that have been spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering your pets is the best way to control pet overpopulation and is healthier for your pets. • Dog waste must be picked up immediately by the handler and placed in the trashcans. This is very important to the success of the Dog Park! • All dogs must be leashed when entering and leaving the Dog Park. Unleash dogs in the double-gated area. Handlers must carry a leash at all times while in the Dog Park. • Keep all gates closed except when entering or leaving the Dog Park. • Digging is not permitted. Handlers are required to fill any holes created by their dogs. • For safety reasons, the following are NOT ALLOWED within the fenced areas: 1. Animals other than dogs. 2. Food of any kind, including dog treats - food and treats can trigger fights between dogs. 3. Retractable leashes - these can get wrapped around dogs or people & cause serious injury 4. Smoking 5. Glass Containers 6. Bicycles, strollers, or children's toys - a friendly dog may knock a child down to get at a toy 7. Prong, pinch, spiked or choke collars -Other dogs can get their teeth caught in a choke collar when playing and cause injury to themselves and the dog wearing the collar. A prong or pinch collar may get caught up on a fence and will be painful if pushed into the dog's neck during play. 8. Fishing in the dog swimming area 9. Humans swimming in the dog swimming area Please comply with all the guidelines. The privilege of keeping the Dog Park open depends on responsible behavior by all users.
