Katherine Kearney Carpenter Park

This is one of my favorite dog parks to bring our boy. It has a great terrain for them to rip and roar and ample trails to get around on. If your dog doesn’t listen to commands this isn’t the place to bring them as there are no fences. Other than that the place is prime. We usually come in the summer but anytime is good when it comes to getting the puppers out!

My FAVE dog park in the area. Period. I just wish it was a tiny bit closer but for me it is worth the drive. It is NOT fenced in, so if you dog is naughty and runs off, probably not the best spot. I love it because I can actually go for a walk and get some exercise in addition to my dog. They have a nice fetching area in addition to some pretty cool trails. It is well maintained with bags and trash cans along the path for what the dogs leave behind. There is NO FEE – it is not park of the Milwaukee County Park System, which is even more reason to respect the park and leave it cleaner that you found it. I love this place and so does my dog.

This is the best dog park in the city. The people are friendly and considerate (which means you generally won’t step in a big steaming pile, although you should usually watch where you’re going at any dog park). Also, people are responsible to not bring aggressive dogs to the park. There are wide-​open spaces and great trails. Don’t forget to find the bridge that runs over the creek. It’s a great place to let your dogs lap up some muddy water and wallow in their own filth… you know, all the stuff dogs like to do. Bring boots though, it can be muddy sometimes.
