10:00 am – Kaukauna Dog Park
303 Farmland Dr., Kaukauna
Start the day off with letting your pup release some energy! The Kaukauna Dog Park has 13-acres of grass covered areas which include a small dog area, a large dog area and a fenced in pond where dogs can swim. If you’d like to get some exercise as well, take advantage of the walking trail around the pond. The park is open year-round and is the perfect place for un-leashed play!
Other area dog parks: Outagamie County Dog Park and all parks in Neenah
Insider Tip: Make sure to watch the weather, especially in the Spring. Willow and her brother got a little muddy, so we went to a self-serve wash station called Shiny Dog Wash in Appleton!
