Ferndale Dog Park (Membership Required) - Dog park in Ferndale - 1280 Hilton Rd & University St, USA

My dog loved it there. But we weren't supposed to go in it's only accessible to city residents. The only time we did enter some doggy parents saw her peering through the fence and whimpering because she wanted to play. They allowed us in. And she played til the others left. We are transplants from Arizona where dog parks are staples. We now live in Oak Park, and what they have here is a muddy UNFINISHED mess!!

Never in my life have I lived in a place where you have to be a “member” to go to a dog park. Entirely not normal that because I don’t live in the town of the park, I have to pay more or pay at all. Wild how there aren’t public places I can take my dog in this weird suburban hellscape

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.

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.

Requires a membership. I'm visiting from out of town and no one has time for that. It's an okay looking park but nothing I'd pay to play even if I lived closer. The one dog in there though I worried about. Very unfriendly. Attacked the gate when we came up. His dog mom took him to the small dog area but wow should be not have been there.

I have lived in 12 states in the USA, in many beautiful areas and always with a dog. I have never had to pay to visit a dog park. The situation here in Ferndale is an elitist impulse and makes me very sad.

Great place to gather. Everyone handles their dogs and is very friendly. Park is well kept.
