Flushing County Park is the go-to Genesee County spot when a Flint-area apartment dog needs a real off-leash run—fenced play areas plus room to walk the wider park.
Rules can change—verify with Genesee County Parks and posted signs before you go.
What to know
- Address: 4417 N McKinley Rd, Flushing, MI 48433 (just west of Flint).
- Off-leash: Fenced dog area with separate small-dog and all-dog sections (completed 2017).
- Elsewhere in county parks: Dogs generally need a leash 6 ft or shorter; no dogs on beaches/swim areas or at For-Mar Nature Preserve.
- Vibe: Trails, ball fields, tennis, and a pavilion near the dog area—easy weekend outing without downtown parking stress.
- Pin: ~43.0728, -83.8605.
Tips
- Bring water and bags—don’t count on every station being stocked.
- Great “big run” day when city sidewalks feel too tight.
- After zoomies, a quiet puzzle toy at home helps neighbors stay happy.
What to pack: A sturdy harness for the walk from the lot. See our elevator-and-city harness guide.
