The Athens dog park is great! There are tons of trees to pitch a hammock and even some equipment for the dogs to play around on. Upon entry there is a double gate system to keep your dog or other peoples from escaping. It would get 5 stars but after a rain, it can get a little muddy (soupy in some areas) so plan around that if you mind muddy paws!

A nice dog park. Plenty of space for them to run around and have a good time. I like that there are obstacles for the pups to play with. My dog definitely enjoyed those. I did have a little trouble finding it initially. It’s kinda tucked in the back side of the park next to the trails leading to the restrooms by the river side trail.

I love this little park but I al and to say that it isnt well taken care of. The grass is very high,the trash cans are running over and someone drove into the middle of the picnic tables and tore 2 of them up.. I dont know when this happened but it still hasnt been cleaned up. The bike bath is lovely so it saddens me to see its not being taken care of.

I have enjoyed this park for many years. The bike path winds around the park, offering sights of the river, the baseball fields, the community garden, and the driving range. Most recently, I have been enjoying the West Side Dog Park. While the park is often muddy, theres plenty of green grass for your dog to run and play. On a sunny day, there are almost always other dogs there and the owners are all lovely too.

This review is for the Athens dog park by the West Union ball fields, not to be confused with the East State Street dog park behind the pool, Holiday Inn Express, and by the waste water treatment plant.All locals with dogs know and seem to prefer one or the other of the two parks, but if you like shade and a slightly more picturesque park, the W. State St. park is for you. It is surrounded by tall pines on 3 of the four sides, and has 3 decent sized benches. It is also big enough, at about 600 feet long by maybe 100 feet wide. In summer there is fresh water on site. Be careful if youre the only one there to check that both gates at both entrances are secured, because sometimes idiots walk through and leave them open. So if you come in one end and dont notice the gate at the other end was left wide open, good by Fido. This is worse if its baseball season, or youre the only one there.All in all, I totally recommend this park. The other one out on East State is ok but it is simply an old baseball field, and it shows.

Its really a nice place to take your dogs to let them run and play

Nice sized park for your dogs to run but tends to get really soggy at times.

Plenty of play space for kids including baseball diamonds, playgrounds, fields, bike path, and outdoor work out equipment (pull-up bars, rope, parallel bars, etc.) Immediately off bike path. Plenty of parking for large groups and pavilions for special events. West State community gardens located within park near bike path. Typically park is not crowded other than evenings during summer when youth baseball is active.

I like bike path in Athens city . Also it reach to The plans city.

Nice, quiet little park. Has basic equipment and fresh water, and I met some nice folks there. Good area in general to walk a dog

Dog owners try to keep some balls in the park for everyone to share, it also is tried to kept tidy. So many people ignore one of the most important rules of the dog park which is no young kids allowed in the park our dog has flipped out a few times because there was a little kid running up at our dog instead of approaching slowly and letting our dog go to him. We even told the kid not to run up at our dog.

Love this place! The bike path is lovely, theres a dog park to visit with your fur friends, and plenty of gyms/pokestops for those of you that play Pokemon go. Its a peaceful area with 2 separate play areas for your kids, and a shelter house they can be used for birthdays.

Clean and welcoming

Great place to take the family, Get out and enjoy the fantastic weather yall! happy warm weather 2019!

Its great but hard to find the first time. Its by a baseball field down the bike path

Nice little park. Plenty of shade and benches.

Love going their with kids. Clean.

Great place for Sandlot. Id give it 5 stars if it werent for the dangerous traffic layout in the parking area by Fenway. Horrible flow and almost impossible to get through when its game day and the lot is full. Please fix it.

Very nice park everyone should visit this place

Great place to watch some baseball or softball 9 ball diamonds a picnic area and 2 small play areas

My favorite of the dog parks in Athens. It is more secluded and more shaded. There is a better obstacle course here for the dogs. There is still a small fountain for them to have water.

Best slow dance to ever have with a car radio and wonderful man

Well maintained ball fields.

Local baseball park, also a great place to play Pokémon go

Very good city park it is on the bike path there is a play ground for children

Fresh air ... friendly fellows... river.... playground.... dog park..... trees

Its at a dead end so its safe for kids to play with little to no worry about traffic.

Nice shady spot to stop while on bike path. Couple different areas for kids to play

The ballfields are spread out and kept neat. The bike path that connects to the east side of town and The Plains goes around it. There is a dog park there. There is also a nice little playground.

Very pretty place with lots of shade

Nice area for bike path access, walking, dog park, and community gardens.

Well kept park on the west side of Athens, Ohio. Lots of baseball diamonds and areas for picnicking.

Relaxed and usually not crowded.
