Minooka Dog Park — Attraction in Village of Waukesha

Our little pup loves this dog park, a lot of space to offer. There is a small and a large breed exercise area, and she can fit in both. I do agree with another review, they are closed far too often. This is the closest dog park to us, and we would like to frequent the park much more often and just give the dog a bath when we get home, but it is often closed because of weather conditions. You should always be able to check online though, which is a positive. Water for the dogs would be nice, as I have seen that at other parks, but other than that, no real complaints. Great space to take your dogs, but dog parents, if your pup isn't as friendly, please walk them around the trials of the dog park rather than letting your dog roam free. My pup got bit for walking by the park bench that a dog had a ball under it and was possessive of just other dogs...

A lot can happen weather-wise before the weekend. And yes, you could venture a guess based on the weather but that doesn't always pan out. If its dry, go. Otherwise, take a few more minutes to drive to...

It’s a lovely layout for dogs to run, explore, and play with other dogs. We’ve only been in the large dog area (my dog is 40lbs) and every human we’ve encountered seems very level headed and also very happy to be there. It really helps to keep the tension at bay- tension which can cause unpredictable behavior in dogs. But again, that has not been an issue at all when we’ve gone 😊. The terrain can be a little rough in some spots, but it’s natural, not manicured, so it’s in pretty good shape when that’s considered. I do understand it’s meant for dogs, but I wouldn’t mind if it had a little more for humans, such as a nearby bathroom facility and another couple of benches would take my...
