Confirmed from Mequon dog park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park offering trails for dogs that are mostly off-leash, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Mequon dog park
Best dog part around! But, your dog must be able to be off leash and be recalled -- there are no fences in the dog park. The park is a large open field, typical of most dog parks. But, the best part of the park is the paths that wind throughout the park.
This is our favorite dog park but can get very muddy in the warmer months. I wish they would work on the drainage issues on the low areas of the paths and maybe raise the height of the path in certain areas along with putting down wood chips, similar to Lions Den and Grafton Dog Park.
Really nice park with trails to walk with dogs it's very clean and everyone is friendly they have water bowls for dogs and bags to pick up after your dogs in case you forget the only down side is that it's not fenced in and close to free way otherwise really nice park
Tarzan and I really enjoy Mequon Dog Park! We ran into lots of dogs, and everyone got along great! It is great for off-leach exercise and has short trails to adventure!
Trail conditions & character
“This is our favorite dog park but can get very muddy in the warmer months.”
“The lack of containement near the parking lot freaks me out bc some dogs just appear without owners, but alas, that seems to be a pet owner problem.”
“Does get swampy at times and is quite wooded, so prepare for bugs.”
“It's got great trails, though definitely dress appropriately, it can get wet and muddy.”

- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain

- At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
