Granville Dog Park

Our dog loves to romp here, rain or shine! I have noticed people don’t like to clean up after their dogs, and the agility area is a joke, but the open feel and the opportunity for my pup to run herself out is worth the few lackluster aspects of the place.

Granville dog park is a hidden gem. The terrain that lay hidden here is stellar for dogs exercising and romping around. There is a river that runs through the back area that is perfect for Ralph to run through. The hill that sets in the middle is steep and provides perfect terrain for any dog to run up and down and tucker themselves right out. So glad we found this place and we will be enjoying hiking through here time and time again. Ralph was ecstatic as he ran around in the water, through the woods, and frolicked with any dog he could find. Bring a towel when you come cause if you’ve got a dog that loves to play they will get dirty. We were frequent at Mequon but I think this will be our new go to.

This place was so difficult to find. It’s ridiculous! I noticed Unilocal does not have the actual numerical address associate with the park. Type in 1175 W Fon Du Lac Ave into your gps and you should find it quite easily. I’ll have to update my review once we actually do some exploring but again, this place was not easy to find.
My review stands as it were before. This place appears neglected and it’s sad to see. Dog poop was found all over the trails, the «agility» area is run-​down. I would never feel safe letting my dog use any of the equipment. Poop bag stands were empty. People failed to maintain control of their dogs. We won’t be back.

This dog park makes my dog so happy! We love coming here. I specially love that it’s all wooded and trailed so it’s not a traditional square fenced dog park. And the dogs can go swimming if they want in the Menomonee river.
Be warned its not 100% fenced in. If your dog has a great recall I still wouldn’t take them off there leash. Unless your dog has an excellent recall then you can trust your dog with no lead. My husky mix has an awesome recall. But if sees a bird or a dog he’s gone. So he’s kept on a long 30ft waterproof leash at all times for his safely.
Also hard to find the park, if you miss the turn you have to go on the freeway for a few miles then get off and turn around. So watch where you’re driving if it’s your first time coming.

loved it! the dogs can be off leash and the river is fun for the dogs!

This place has the potential to be a great dog park. I’ve only been bringing my dog here for a few months now but because of its tucked away location, I’ve never seen more than 3 – 4 cars in the parking lot. The wooded trails are great because I get almost as much exercise as my dog and I can see my dog loving the river once the weather gets a little warmer.
I could not give this place 5 stars though because of the poop situation. It seems that people are not picking up after their dog as much as at other dog parks I’ve been to. On more than one occasion I’ve also seen the poop bag dispensers empty and the garbage cans overflowing. A little maintenance could go a long ways at this dog park.

Our dogs love this park! Not a place for children though, as big dogs are happily and freely running around.

A hidden gem (Literally. It took me 45 minutes just to find it!). This park is well-​kept, and it’s off the beaten path enough where it’s usually not crowded (probably because nobody can find it…). There are rest stations with picnic tables and plastic bag dispensers so that you can pick up after your dog. There is also an area with agility equipment! There are beautiful trails, hills, a river for the dogs to play in, and it’s big enough that you’re not running into 50 dogs every 4 minutes. I dislike dog parks that look like a fenced-​in playground at recess –tons of dogs milling around and nowhere to have a little quiet time. Granville Dog Park is just about perfect for us!
Please note that this is only partially fenced in, and there are plenty of woods your dog can disappear into, so your dog should have a pretty solid recall if off-​leash.

Warning — This dog park is not fenced in all the way around. So just be cautious if your dog is a runner.
This is not like your typical dog park — a fenced in field. It’s a huge area with tons of trees, trails and hills. It also gets VERY muddy, so make sure to bring boots if it has rained.
We had a lot of trouble finding this place too — we aren’t from the area so I can’t even remember how we got there but I know I googled it! Have fun!

Beautiful, huge dog park with hills to run up, lots of trees, even a river to play in.
