Additionally, you will find an outdoor workout station with multiple obstacle course sets to get your blood pumping. Just remember to keep your dog on a leash if you decide to walk them through the woods, or else leave them in the pens while you venture out to explore!

Wildwood Dog Park is a nature lovers’ paradise and is a popular spot for local dog owners to gather and enjoy the views and trails together. Do keep in mind that there are no water fountains for your dogs available here, so don’t forget to pack your own water!
