You can exercise your dog at the City of Plymouth's off-leash dog area at Egan Park in northwest Plymouth.
The park is on the south side of Co. Rd. 47 about two blocks west of Dunkirk Ln. at approximately 17105 Co. Rd. 47. The park includes a mowed open play area as well as two mowed trails.
The 10-acre off leash dog area is not fenced, but native plants have been allowed to grow to create natural barriers to discourage dogs from straying off the property. The mowed trails and large play area also encourage dogs to stay in certain areas.
Because water currently is not available at the park, owners should bring water with them for their dogs. Future development in the park may include a watering pond.
Owners should also bring plastic bags to clean up after their pets. Pet owners are encouraged to bring extra plastic bags to donate for others to use. Trash containers are provided at the site.
