About the Park
Dogs needing room to roam off-leash have this spot in Kalamazoo, listed as the Cambridge Dog Sanctuary. It runs as a free public park in southwest Michigan's largest college town. The record notes off-leash use but leaves fencing, surface, and hours unconfirmed, so a call to the city or a look on-site is the safest way to plan. Lake-effect weather gives Kalamazoo snowy winters and mild, green summers that shift how the grounds hold up. Bring water, waste bags, and a leash for getting to and from the off-leash area. New visitors should confirm the exact location and any posted rules before arriving, since our listing carries only the basics.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Cambridge Dog Sanctuary is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Cambridge Dog Sanctuary is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
