Thomas Stafford Dog Park is a fully fenced off-leash area behind the Alpena Post Office at North Riverfront Park, offering stunning views of the Thunder Bay River. It features benches, a water spigot, mutt mitts, garbage receptacles, tunnels, play space, a hose, water bowls, a pool, and dog toys. The park fosters a community for dogs and owners alike.
Thomas Stafford 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.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Thomas Stafford Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
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.
