Confirmed from Norman Swanner 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.
Large and small dog park featuring separate areas for big and small pups.
What runners say about Norman Swanner Dog Park
“Park is clean and well kept with ample parking, covered seating, obstacle course, doggie fountain and separate areas for big and small pups.”
“My dog absolutely loves running around playing with other dogs.”
Big enough for small dog and my dog had amazing experience since he was so tired of riding in my car all day every day while working. Very quiet and not much of visitors with dogs. So he got to run around and chilly lol.
Love the park. Great atmosphere. Parking can be enforced. To many park that don't have pets. They park to walk or for business across the street
Very nice park located next to the warren harang municipal auditorium. Huge pond loaded with turtles,fish,ducks pigeons and walking track
My dog absolutely loves running around playing with other dogs. And it's gated so well I don't have to worry about her running off.
