Ruff & Tumble Dog Park

Ruff & Tumble Dog Park is a nonprofit dog park located at 950 Bond Street in Niles, Michigan, along the St. Joseph River. The park provides a 1.5-acre space for dogs to play off-leash with separate areas for small dogs (under 25 lbs) and larger breeds, amenities including agility equipment and water stations, and a community gathering space for pet owners. The park was developed through a crowdfunding campaign backed by MEDC’s Public Spaces Community Places program, transforming an underutilized city park into a family-friendly riverside destination.
