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.
