About the Park
In Farmington Hills, a well-established Oakland County suburb, small dogs have an off-leash area suited to their size. Keeping little dogs apart from bigger playmates helps keep the pace manageable and the play friendly. There is no cost to use it, as it belongs to the public park network. Michigan seasons range widely, with humid summers giving way to cold, snowy winters, so dress for the day and pack water when the temperature climbs. Our records do not confirm fencing, ground surface, or hours, which makes a quick check worthwhile once you arrive. Families in the Farmington Hills area with a small dog will find it a simple, close-by option for exercise and a bit of canine company.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Small Dog Area 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, Small Dog Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
