About the Park
Pleasant Ridge Dog Run is a fully fenced, membership-only off-leash dog park located at the north end of Gainsboro Park in Pleasant Ridge, MI. The park features designated areas for small and large dogs, grassy spaces for play and socialization, and amenities including waste stations, water fountains, and seating for owners.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Pleasant Ridge Dog Run 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Pleasant Ridge Dog Run is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
