Crystal's 3 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Mishawaka

Partially Fenced
3 acres

For quite some time now, my husband has been restoring this land as a nature preserve, bringing back shortgrass and tallgrass prairie, along with a small pond and wetland area. It’s been a labor of love—years of removing invasive species and re-establishing native plants. The wildflowers and grasses are thriving, with peak blooms throughout June, July, and August. By September, many of the plants begin setting seed, which is still a beautiful and important part of the natural prairie cycle. The designated trail offers a tidy, easy walk through the nature area. If your dog chooses to roam off trail, they’re stepping into a more immersive slice of Midwest prairie. With that experience can come sticker plants, burrs, mud, uneven ground, and the occasional wet area. If you want to keep your pup clean and sticker-free, we recommend staying on the trail.… because nature! Thank you for allowing us to share this special place with you and for giving your dog a place to explore, enjoy nature, and stretch their legs. Plenty of open space to roam surrounded by a treeline. Also you can use the firepit and seating. There is a large grassy plot, then you can walk a trail on either side of the pond, then there is a large prairie spot in back of pond.
