🐾 Bark Out Loud: The Ultimate Guide to Milwaukee Dog Parks 🐶🌳
Hey MKE dog parents! Looking for places where your furry bestie can run free, sniff new scents, and make some four-legged friends? Whether you’re repping a rowdy Retriever or a chill Chihuahua, Milwaukee’s dog park scene is next-level—and we’ve sniffed out the best of the best just for you.
Grab the leash, fill that treat pouch, and let’s hit the parks! 🐕💨
🦴 1. Runway Dog Exercise Area
📍 1214 E. Rawson Ave, Oak Creek
💥 Vibe: Big, bold, and BEAUTIFUL.
This former airport runway turned dog haven is like the luxury sports car of dog parks. Huge open fields for off-leash sprints, small dog zones, and even benches for dog parents to chill. It’s a fan favorite with a solid community of friendly pups and proud humans.

🐕 2. Estabrook Park Dog Exercise Area
📍 4400 N. Estabrook Dr
🌲 Vibe: Forest retreat for urban pups.
Nestled in one of Milwaukee’s most scenic parks, Estabrook is where dogs get their off-leash wilderness fix. There’s shade, trails, and even a spot near the river for splashy paws. After your pup plays, stroll over to the nearby beer garden (yes, it’s pup-friendly!).
🍺 Estabrook Beer Garden + happy tired dog = perfect Saturday.
🐾 3. Granville Dog Park
📍 11718 W. Good Hope Rd
🌳 Vibe: Chill, woodsy, and full of good sniff spots.
If your dog is more about zen than zoomies, Granville’s peaceful nature vibes are perfect. With wooded trails and gentle open areas, it’s the low-key spot where you and your pup can decompress in nature.
🌿 Bonus: You’ll get your steps in without even noticing.
🐩 4. Currie Park Dog Exercise Area
📍 3535 N. Mayfair Rd
🏃♂️ Vibe: Zoom zone!
This one’s for the dogs who live for fetch. Big open field? Check. Super social pups? Check. Room to run like a wild thing? Triple check. It’s conveniently located and perfect for a spontaneous park run.
🎾 Bring extra tennis balls… you’ve been warned.
🐕🦺 5. Bay View Dog Park (Community Bark)
📍 2430 S. Kinnickinnic Ave
🎉 Vibe: Urban, cute, and café-adjacent.
This small but mighty doggy hangout is connected to Community Bark, a coffee shop/dog spa hybrid. Your pup plays, you sip your latte—it’s giving “bougie dog parent” in the best way possible.
☕ Latte in one hand, leash in the other? Iconic.
🐶 Hot Tips for Cool Pups
✅ Bring water & poop bags (some parks provide, but don’t chance it)
✅ Know the rules—most require permits from Milwaukee County Parks
✅ If it’s your dog’s first time, go during quieter hours to ease them in
✅ Always watch your pup—it’s playtime, not Wild Kingdom
✅ Bring treats. Always.
