About the Park
Whistlestop Park is a 59-acre recreation facility in Byron Center that includes a dog park with fun climbing structures for dogs. The park features walking trails, picnic areas, and is located in the central area of the township with two vehicle entrances.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Whistlestop 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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Whistlestop Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
