Whenever we have clients that have recently moved to Milwaukee County and have utilized our daily dog walking or pet sitting service, we are often asked for local dog park suggestions. Milwaukee County has 7 off leash dog exercise areas, ranging from as far south as Oak Creek, to as north as Menomonee Falls. These parks are all open from sun up- 10:00pm, 7 days/week. In order to use these parks, you must get your dog licensed in your municipality and purchase a Dog Exercise Area permit (daily or annually). You can find more information at http://county.milwaukee.gov/Dogs9203/DogExerciseAreas.htm regarding “Rules and Petiquette” for the parks.
