Barstow Woods
location_onMidland, MI
Midland, the mid-Michigan city best known as Dow's hometown, is home to this off-leash area at Barstow Woods. Dogs are free to roam off-leash, and the park costs nothing to use. The name points to a wooded setting, though our records don't confirm the surface, fencing, or hours, so treat those as things to verify with the city before you go. Central Michigan weather cycles through humid summers and cold, snowy winters, and shaded woods can stay muddy after rain. Bring water and cleanup bags, and keep your dog leashed until you reach the off-leash zone. If you need an enclosed space, ask the parks department whether any part of Barstow Woods is fenced.

Choosing the Right Park in Midland
With 2 dog parks in Midland, you have options. Consider what matters most to you — fenced areas for off-leash play, water features for hot days, or separate small dog sections. Each park has its own personality and regular crowd, so try a few before settling on your favorite.
Off-Leash Safety
Some parks in Midland offer fenced enclosures, which are ideal if your dog is still working on recall or if you simply want peace of mind. Always check the fence condition when you arrive — look for gaps at ground level that a determined digger could exploit.
Water Play
Water features are available at parks in the Midland area. Bring a towel and consider a dog life jacket for deep water areas. After water play, rinse your dog off to remove any bacteria or algae.
Best Times to Visit
Dog parks in Midland tend to be busiest on weekend mornings and weekday evenings after work. If your dog prefers calmer environments or you're working on training, try visiting during off-peak hours — mid-morning on weekdays is usually the quietest.
What to Bring
Pack fresh water and a collapsible bowl, poop bags, and high-value treats for recall practice. Even if the park provides waste stations, bring your own bags as backup. A basic first aid kit with styptic powder and bandage wrap is smart to keep in your car.
