Bring your leashed dog along and walk south though the park to reach access to the northern end of the Soldan Dog Park.
Scott Woods is good for children because it has manageable trails and plenty of acres to explore. There is also a playground at the entrance of the park.
There is wheelchair accessible parking. There are no public bathrooms on site.
If you don’t want to drive to Scott Woods, hop on your bike. You can access the park via Lansing's River Trail.
