Two Hearts Dog Park
location_onWausau, WI
Two Hearts Dog Park sits at 224 S 4th Street, a few blocks from downtown Wausau, which makes it one of the easier dog parks to reach if you live or work near the city center. The run is fully fenced, so dogs without reliable recall can move freely inside. Hours are generous — 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week — late enough for shift workers and for summer evenings when central Wisconsin finally cools off. There is no fee; it is a free public park listed in Marathon County's facility directory. Winters here are serious, with deep snow from December into March, and many owners switch to short midday visits once temperatures drop. Small-dog separation is not noted in the listing, so verify on-site.

Choosing the Right Park in Wausau
With 4 dog parks in Wausau, 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 Wausau 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.
Best Times to Visit
Dog parks in Wausau 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.
