Project Overview
In response to demand for an additional dog park on the City’s west side, Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation has been piloting a pop-up dog park at Veterans Memorial Park Field #4 and collecting feedback from residents and park users. To provide feedback, please take a moment to complete the Community Survey (Spring 2026) below.
The Veterans Memorial Park Pop-Up Dog Park is back for its second season, open Nov. 20, 2025–March 2027 at ballfield No. 4 (northeast corner near Dexter Avenue). This temporary, fenced-in space offers dogs a safe place to run, play, and socialize off leash. The pop-up park is free and open to the public—come enjoy some tail-wagging fun this winter and beyond! The City anticipates a community engagement process in late summer 2026 to explore the possibility of a permanent dog park at Veterans Memorial Park.
The first pop-up took place in the summer of 2024. For more information on the survey results from this pop-up, please see Community Engagement tab below.
