Kids gawk and look at dogs the way grown-ups gawk and look at cars at the Woodward Dream Cruise. Sometimes the best place to take kids to play is often the one with the most animals. Luckily there are many local dog parks in Oakland County, Michigan and the surrounding areas that are kid-friendly AND pet friendly.
