Olson Park Dog Park is a fenced, off-leash area just under an acre in size, located in the south-central portion of Olson Park at the northeast corner of 1505 Dhu Varren Road. It is one of three designated dog parks managed by the City of Ann Arbor, requiring an annual permit for access. The park is part of a 54-acre recreational area featuring wetlands, woods, Traver Creek, and Traver Pond.
Olson Park Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Olson Park Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
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
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Annual off-leash dog permit required; dogs must be licensed; maximum 2 dogs per handler; open during park hours 6 a.m.-10 p.m.; leashed outside designated area; no professional training allowed.
