About the Park
Active dogs on the northwest side of Akron have a second free option here at Riverwood Dog Park, an off-leash space in the 44313 area of Summit County. The name points to the riverside greenery that runs through this part of the city, where the Cuyahoga and its tributaries shape the landscape. There is no fee to visit. Our records do not confirm the fencing, surface, or hours, so plan to read the posted signs when you arrive. Northeast Ohio delivers humid summers and cold, snowy winters, so the ground can be dry, muddy, or frozen depending on the day. Bring your own water and waste bags, and check locally for any rules on supervision or how many dogs you may bring.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Riverwood Dog Park 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, Riverwood Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
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.
