Dog-Friendly Things To Do in Mason, OH

Mason is one of the best places in Greater Cincinnati to live with a dog. The city operates a network of green spaces with plenty of leashed and off-leash options, the Little Miami Scenic Trail runs right through town, and the surrounding Metroparks add hundreds of acres of additional space to explore. If you are searching for apartments in Mason, OH, here are some of the best dog-friendly destinations to put on your list, along with the two HILLS Properties communities that make it easy to enjoy them.

Top Dog-Friendly Spots in Mason

Pawmyra Dog Park. Mason’s newest dog park sits on roughly 4 acres in the lower section of Mason Sports Park at 3400 Mason-Morrow-Millgrove Road, about a 10-minute drive from the center of town. This inclusive, off-leash park includes gates, concrete pathways, a dog water fountain, seating, and separate play areas for large and small dogs. Direct access to the Little Miami Scenic Trail next door makes it easy to combine a long leashed stroll with off-leash play in a single outing.

Voice of America MetroPark And Wiggly Field. Located about a 10-minute drive west of Mason in West Chester, this 435-acre MetroPark features a 35-acre stocked lake, miles of paved trails, and the popular Wiggly Field off-leash dog area, which has separate sections for large and small dogs, shaded structures, benches, and water fountains.

Pine Hill Lakes Park, Heritage Oak Park, and Makino Park. Mason’s larger neighborhood parks welcome leashed dogs on their trails and open green space. Mutt mitt stations are placed throughout, and Heritage Oak Park’s amphitheater area is a relaxing spot for evening strolls.

The Little Miami Scenic Trail. This paved trail runs more than 70 miles north and south through southwest Ohio, with a convenient access point right at Mason Sports Park. It is one of the best long-distance leashed routes in the region for runners and casual walkers alike.
