a news release of Kent County , with added material
Already one of our most popular destinations for hiking and mountain biking, we’re thrilled to be adding our first enclosed dog park at Wahlfield Park. This 10-acre park will feature a one-acre small dog area, a two-acre open activity field, crushed stone walking trails through natural areas, and a one-acre swimming pond with a dog beach and jumping dock.
The park will also include a four-season family-style restroom with a dog wash station, as well as an additional restroom to serve hikers and mountain bikers. Construction is underway, and we’re planning a grand opening in late spring 2026.
Wahlfield Park is named after Fritz and Marlene Wahlfield, who donated the original 50 acres for the park in 1983. Fritz was a longtime Kent County Commissioner and parks supporter, and his son, Fritz Wahlfield Jr., and grandson, Fritz Wahlfield III, continue the family tradition of giving back to the community. Wahlfield Construction is building the two restrooms and has contributed over $200,000 in in-kind work and coordinated donations to the project. In addition, Fritz Jr. and his wife Liz have made a generous personal contribution. A big thank you to the Wahlfield family and Wahlfield Construction for helping make this incredible project a reality!
There are already hiking and mountain biking trails which are open for skiing in the winter.
The first link below shows a conceptual map of the project.
Wahlfield Park is located at 6811 Alpine Avenue, Alpine Township, MI 49321. This is north of Grand Rapids along M-37.
