About the Park
Part of Miami Whitewater Forest, one of the largest properties in the Great Parks of Hamilton County system, the Simmonds Family Dog Park sits near Cleves on Cincinnati's western edge. Because it belongs to a major regional park, it is professionally maintained, and Great Parks publishes current rules and hours online. Keep in mind that Great Parks generally requires a motor vehicle permit to enter its properties, so check that before you go even though the dog park is a public amenity. Our record does not confirm the fencing or surface, both worth a look on arrival. Expect the humid summers and cold winters typical of southwest Ohio. Bring your own water and waste bags, and read the posted signs when you get there.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Simmonds Family 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, Simmonds Family Dog Park 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.

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
