About the Park
Fully fenced and free, Swift Run Dog Park is the kind of place Ann Arbor owners can take a dog with unreliable recall without sweating it. The enclosed perimeter is the park's documented selling point, and off-leash play is the whole purpose. It sits in the 48197 zip area on the city's southeast side, toward the Ypsilanti border. Michigan weather handles the rest of the programming: expect mud during the spring thaw, green months from May through September, and snow-packed ground in winter, all of which dogs tend to enjoy more than their owners do. There is no fee to use it, so it works as an everyday stop. Posted rules at the entrance cover the specifics worth knowing before you unclip.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Swift Run Dog Park 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.
Best of all, Swift Run Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
