Runway Dog Exercise Area

Best and largest dog park in Milwaukee County. They have 26 acres for dogs to run and play! They have beaten paths for owners to walk, a small dog play area, and TONS of dishes for water along the way (be sure to bring a gallon to fill up as you go). They also provide poo bags and mow frequently. There are benches and picnic tables throughout the park to take a rest or watch the planes above as they take off and land from MKE. It can get windy and noisy, so bring an extra layer most days! Everyone that comes is very respectful and dogs are well behaved. Last winter we had a dog get out of the fence (to no fault of the fence just a very eager puppy — yes, it happens!) and everyone at the park helped out to get the owner over the fence and get the pup back!) Could not say better things about this park. It is a short drive from our house and we love it. Please be sure to check your «kids» for ticks when you get home, as it can get quite grassy and everyone loves to romp off the beaten path!

Good size park! This was the first dog park I had taken my dog to. I was a bit concerned at first about how she would do around other dogs but the visit went very well! The park is so open and big that there are plenty of places for a pup to explore. There are fenced in grassy areas for smaller dogs and then walking trails and fields for larger dogs to pounce around and play in. There are several water bowls along the trails but the few times I have taken my dog here it seems that the water bowls were empty. My advice would be to pack a portable bowl and quite a bit of water because your dog will certainly need it after running about and playing at this park!

Runway is a pretty solid dog park! It’s very open, has several trails of varying lengths and picnic tables scattered throughout. For the most part, it’s very well maintained. The grass was a little long when we went so it was hard for our lil pup to play in it — but we managed! the little dog area seemed very well maintained and is a great size for small dogs. It’s off just south of the airport (hence, «runway») so it’s pretty secluded. The other dogs/​owners were very nice and we’ve all had a great time! Would definitely recommend!
tip — go to the golf course at the entrance to the park to get your tags instead of driving allover everywhere to get them. Will save you time!

Greatest dog park in the area. Huge trail for big and small dogs to run around and have fun! Plus so close to the airport you get to see planes fly close overhead! Every owner we met has been nice and responsible. Only dog park we’ll take our little guy!

Friday is too soon. Bring a showering/​bathing tank of water with you most days, not just the iffy ones. Having said that, it’s a place I would live in again if I could with my 2 dogs lost to relocation in the Milwaukee area, and I, to somewhere else. Courteous park goers, minimum of dog fighting, maximum of free play and running. Lot of tennis balls and water bowls dot the landscape. I wish dog owners would be more responsible about picking up their dog litter.
Truly enjoyed being a part of the community here. You will too.

Has anyone been out here recently? Wondering the conditions of the field. I have 2 little buddies dying to get out and play. Was think bing about Friday. Too soon?

Great place, lots of room, fences, trails, its a great park. It is kind of hidden, the sign is right next to the golf park entrance so it is a bit confusing. Just drive into the golf place and ask. They also sell the tags for using the park.

Great huge park for your pup to run like the wind!
Really well kept, lots of water bowls throughout.
Of course there will be people who look down at your bully breed dog (like my pit) and who scoop their dog up as soon as they see your bully coming. But then there are some very nice people who want to know about your dog and don’t judge at all.
My pitty loves it here, especially all the long grass she can barrel through!

I have big dogs that love to run in big open spaces. They also do better with other dogs with big open spaces. That’s kind of what this place is all about.
It’s a great, stress free place for my pups to get some exercise!

Great place to take the dogs! Huge fenced in areas with trails, lots of room to run and play. A few picnic benches to take a rest. Bowls all over for dogs to stop and take a drink. They even have poop bags for you to use if doggie has to go. I also actually enjoy being near the airport and seeing the planes land, it’s kind of cool!
Warning, some areas are muddy so be prepared! Many muddy dogs leave this place and I’m always amazed at how my dog seems to find the mud that I don’t see! I bring a towel to wipe the dogs up and cover my backseat with blankets.
