Midland's only dog park, established in 2005, is located within Chippewassee Park and encompasses approximately 4 acres of lush, fenced-in space. This accessible area was made possible through a generous donation and represents a commitment to enhancing the city's Parks and Recreation offerings. The dog park features a blend of wooded and open areas for dogs to run freely, with specific sections designated for smaller breeds. Amenities include water access during warmer months, agility courses, and a gravel parking area for pet owners, ensuring a pleasant and functional environment for both dogs and their handlers.
