Tremont – Clark Field Dog Park

Best dog park option for west siders. The open fields are amazing. My dogs love it here and so do I.

Let me start by saying, a dog park that has an open space for my dog to run around is a-​ok by me. And this place definitely has it. It’s got a fenced in area with gravel (I’m not a big fan of the gravel) that also holds a trash can for dog waste. Next to the fenced in area is a semi-​fenced in area with grass. Surrounding both lots is a lot more open field, which doubles as field space for intramural football teams throughout the year. I also once saw larping done here and that was some great entertainment (if you don’t know what larping is, you should google it).
The park seems to be kept up well — I’ve never seen the trash overflowing or dog poo spattering the grounds. The worst part about this place is not the park itself but the road leading into the park. There are more potholes in this one road than the entire city of Cleveland, and that is saying something! I wish the city would fix this!
The long and short — if you have a dog that needs to run around and be free, this is a great place. I just hope your car can make it through the pot-​holey terrain!

I so wanted this park to work out for my pooch, but there is no separate small dog area, and my 10 lb. mutt got mobbed immediately by bigger dogs. That would have been OK, except they were repeatedly aggressive with him. A few times one snapped and tried to bite him. I think this is a great park for bigger dogs, but not littles.

The park is all gravel/​rocks, which my dog was not a fan of. She walked really slow. Instead of exploring/​running away, she just sat on the bench with me. The park I thought was fine otherwise. There are eight benches, two benches at the four corners of the park. A water foundation in the back.

I love this park. It’s huge, has seating, has hand-​sanitizer, and is well located (I live in Tremont).
Thing is, no one else seems to go there! I’ve never been there where there are big packs of dogs, it’s always just a dog or two and when they leave, it’s not just my dog that’s sad… I am. It’s no fun to be at an empty dog park!
Beware of reviews that are based on a single bad experience with another dog. It’s a dog park. Dogs can be bad, owners can be bad… when you go to a park, you take you chances with that. It’s not the parks fault, and it could have happened at any park.

We will no longer be back! this is the 2^nd time in 2 weeks a Pitt attacked a dog! This time mine! I have nothing against them but if u know ur dog is aggressive leave it at home! Muzzles should be required here as they are in Lakewood! Damn shame! im am heartbroken! i will miss bringing him here and he we miss as well im sure! we will be finding a new location!

Awesome people! Awesome dogs!

Great park. All the dogs and owners I have encountered there get along great with others. Take my dog there to run for an hour or so a few times each week and have never had one complaint.

Good location. Now I just wish they would open a CAT park now… yeah that would be sweet. ;)

If you’ve got extra poo bags and hand sanitizer, then I’m a fan. And the Tremont Dog Park has-​a-​plenty.
In fact, they even have a special receptacle bin for the poos, which I only know because my boyfriend almost disposed of a baggie in the wrong one. This makes me think that they have a special way to dispose of the waste, which can cause toxic runoff in our water. I appreciate that!
This was actually the first dog park I’ve ever been to, and now that I’ve experienced a few I decided that I really like this one. It’s not the biggest, or the most glamorous, but it’s got plenty of open space for running. There are toys, water bowls, hand sanitizer and a separate area for small dogs.
Archie walked in and immediately made a friend with what seemed like a breed of sheep dog. What I loved about this park was that it wasn’t packed with folks who were sitting on benches with their coffee and not watching their canines. Tremont seems to attract owners who want to interact with their dogs and play with them while they’re here.
Since this was my first doggie park experience, I was a little worried about Archie running off or misbehaving with other dogs. The owner of the sheep dog quickly informed me that he wouldn’t get out and to relax and let ‘em all play. Great advice.
One thing I could do without is feeling like I’m playing next to a radioactive power plant. I kept thinking I was going to leave here and develop a third eye from the toxic waves. Not a great view. I also wouldn’t come down here alone at dusk, but during the day I don’t think that would be a problem.
Lastly, we didn’t bring my boyfriend’s son with us this time around, but we plan on it next time. There is a huge playground right next door for kids and since I know he’d get bored in the dog park within 10 mins, it would be a perfect situation for an energetic 6yr old.
