About the Park
Ashtabula sits on the Lake Erie shore in Ohio's far northeast corner, and Smith Field Dog Park gives dogs there a free off-leash place to play. The lakeside location shapes the weather: cool breezes off the water in summer and heavy lake-effect snow in winter, both of which affect how and when the park gets used. There is no charge to visit. Our listing does not confirm whether the run is fenced or what surface it has, so plan to check on arrival. As with any Ohio park where amenities are not posted online, bring your own water and waste bags. It is also worth reading the on-site signage for any rules on supervision or the number of dogs one handler may bring.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Smith Field 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, Smith Field Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
