Fun spot to take the dogs. Large areas for both small dogs and large dogs. Paid membership is required. Facilities are kept up and decent.

Huge park with lots of room to run. Very well maintained.

It looked like lots of fun, but unfortunately it costs a lot of money for a membership. Also, if you read on the website that you can try it for a day for $5, that is incorrect. In January, they removed that option, and they haven’t bothered to update their website since. I have two very disappointed dogs in my car at the moment.

This is the best place to have your dog work out all of their extra energy, socialize with different types of dogs, and is quite relaxing for people as well. The park is very well maintained and there are usually a few other dogs there. All of the owners care deeply about their dogs and are willing to help break up the very rare fight.

This is a great open space with separate areas for large and small dogs. There are trees and picnic tables for shaded areas, and water fountains that are accessible to the dogs.

A nice open place for your dog. An area fir smaller dogs and one for bigger dogs. Not much cover in heat or wind. That said I was there when not many dogs were around, and i might feel differently if my dog had a playmate.

I much prefer the park on Windsor over the one in Urbana. Very open land, and seemingly friendlier dogs and people. And I heard that the city is adding a water section to it! I recommend it to any new dog parent in the area. Love it!

My 2 dogs loved it and I cant believe how large it was

Review №12

Big, convenient, and other visitors are generally friendly but its so so so muddy. I took my dog here every day for a week and had to bathe her every time we came home.She also got bullied by a bigger faster dog once and got her face scratched. Other owners tried to help me catch the bully, but the bullys owner did very little to help the situation. Not to mention that its hard for humans to run after fast dogs in mud...I now take my pup to the Urbana dog park, which is much bigger, has more trees, drainage, interesting terrain, and SO many tennis balls. Would love if both the Champaign and Urbana parks had lights.

Dont visit after a heavy rainfall. Other than that, my dog and I love this place. There is a section reserved for small dogs. There are drinking fountains in both parts, and there is a station outside if you need to hose your pup down. They are almost always well-stocked with poop bags. There is one porta-potty on site. My little guy is a runner, and this place is perfect for that.

Great dog park. The large dog area is big enough for the pooches to run and play, but small enough that you can keep an eye on them at all times. There used to be an issue with mud around the entrance, it appears that has been resolved. After rain, the gravel parking lot has lots of muddy puddles, which the dogs track into the car. I like this park better than the Urbana dog park because Urbanas has several, major mud holes. I got tired of having to bathe the dogs every time we went there.

Great dog park! Our Shiba loved running around and getting to play ball in a bigger area! Other dog owners were great!!!

Wide open space for dogs to run around in and socialize with people and other dogs. The grounds are very muddy, which is to be expected with the running dogs and the winter season.

Great fenced in area to let your dog run and play off leash. Separate areas for small dogs and large dogs.

Review №22

Very poor drainage and seems to be poorly maintained. The parking lot was a gravel nightmare. Space was adequate, but was next to a sanitary treatment plant and the wind carried the smell easily. It was a dog park, so my dog loved it anyways.

Review №23

Great place to take your pup! Two separate fully fenced in play areas. One for the big guys and another for the big at heart.

Not much in the way of shade trees.. wide open and exceptionally windy.

Review №26

A great place to take your social dog! There are two sections, one for large dogs and one for small dogs below 25 lbs. Both sections are flat and more than enough space. There are lots of regulars who take their dogs here daily. $35 a year is a fair price especially as they provide bags, tennis balls, and landscaping.

Driveway/Parking completely suck. Its all dirt/gravel with huge potholes everywhere. If it rains or snows your car will be completely muddy.

For the most part, this park is spacious, clean, and well maintained. Nearly all visitors have been conscientious dog owners and we have had very few problems with other dogs or their owners. Agility course equipment is falling apart but functional.

Big open grass field. There is an area for smaller dogs to play thats fenced off. Urbana dog park is more favorable on super sunny days since theres a lot of trees.

Lovely facilities! A great group of owners and friendly wagging tails. Plenty of room to run, and the membership fee is much more than worth it!

This park has a great group of well taken care of dogs that frequent this park. We are regulars. It does not have woods or ponds like some dog parks do, but I can see my dog no matter where she goes in the park. There is a section for pups and small dogs

Great place to take your pup! Weve been going for years and have never had an issue other dogs (or owners). Park staff keep the place looking good. And there are potty bags and water services in the park. Pro tip: in the winter they have to shut off the water but there is the well near the parking lot. You can get your water there and even give a shower if so inclined. Tennis balls are plentiful if you forgot yours at home.
