There are walking trails and ultimate frisbee in the neighboring park. The dog park itself has two sections for small and large dogs. The park has mulch and dirt and not much else. The area is peaceful surrounded by large trees. I imagine in the peak of spring and fall it is beautiful.

Great westside run in upscale area of Manhattan…read more Things it has going for it: - Plenty of shade, between big buildings - Plenty of seating for humans (most I have seen at any dog run) - Great fencing, gates and entry area - Dedicated dog water fountain in large dog run - Hose to clean/cool off dogs - Concrete ground cover will keep your dog cleaner than dirt or that crushed stone stuff - Plenty of room for dog to run - Good drainage - Separate large and small dog runs Things it has against it: - No bathrooms near run for humans - Parking an issue if you dont live locally - No poop bags - No water in small dog run - Can get windy One of the best urban dog runs I have found in the NYC area. Even though it has concrete as the ground cover I don't see it getting too hot for your dogs since there is so much shade. Add poop bags and water in the small dog run and this a 5 star run. Would go to again. Model for future runs. Dog runs/parks I have been to so far: http://www.yelp.com/list/nyc-area-dog-parks-runs-queens-4

I take a quick 20 minute drive to the dog park with my fur babies, Gucci and Prada! They absolutely…read morelove it here because the park is spacious, with one section for small dogs (which is where they hang out) and another for the big pups. It's always so nice to see how clean the park is, as I've noticed fellow dog owners doing a great job of cleaning up after their pets. There's a real sense of community, and I appreciate that they provide dog bags for everyone! I wish I had a picture of them having fun at this lovely park, but I've attached an adorable photo of my two sweethearts instead!

If you have a male dog it must be neutered in order to come to the park.

Many of the locals gripe, however, that the town doesn't hasn't made its upkeep a priority. No clue whether that's true but special places like this are gathering spots enhancing life and community, which is sorely needed in these days of social isolation. Therefore, any projects developing community care ought to be nurtured and expanded for its citizenry to thrive instead of only survive.

Union Street Dog Park was one of the selling points for me when I decided to move to New Haven. The…read morepark is in a convenient location and is a pretty decent size that allows for larger dogs to roam around, sniff, and do what large dogs do. Most of it is gravel but there's still some dirt and grass. The dogs are usually chill and that sentiment goes for the owners as well. There's a group vibe as it seems most of the owners know each other. Maybe if Roscoe (my dog) stops trying to hump their dogs, I'll get in the clique too. Doesn't hurt to bring a bottle of water - there's usually a water bowl there. Oh. One side note: Sometimes you'll run into the occasional "urban camper" hanging out in the dog park sans a dog of their own. They're just usually doing urban camping activities like taking a nap, drinking a forty or whatever. They don't seem to bother people or cause trouble though.

The fencing in areas needs to be replaced and the ground cover also gets muddy after a good rain. Upgrade fencing , bring in a dedicated dog drinking fountain and this is a 3 star dog run.

Simply replace the burnt out bulbs would help us early AM evening visitors. I thought the area had everything possible and done.... Sad to know dog parks in SD, IL and IA are thousands of times better, have volunteer workers AND use tax funds to maintain safe areas. UPDATE: Apparently you enlightened liberal dog owners have very little knowledge of Kennel Cough and other diseases when your happy that others leave toys and bowls in the park. Many praise it and as one who pays attention will ask those happy with this if they are enlightened enough to believe everyone is vaccinating and caring for their pet as much as you do? I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT. If your dog gets aggressive... Leash Up and/or Leave! If your dog bites another dog.. exchange info and call the Police so a report is made. I have witnessed TWO events where the aggressive dog owner leaves and says NOTHING as the injured dog owner is attending to their pet. Hey, but I must be the one with the problem here! At least the park people got off their dead behinds and removed the wire below the first gate and mowed. I guess installing new lights to illuminate the park is to much to ask for and expect! Sad that the taxes paid do not cover BASIC maintenance issues to the over paid and under worked park staff.... keep sitting in your vehicles on your phones and we can start documenting your "strenuous" work day for you.... Again.. I will gladly show up and pitch in to help and I do believe it's time to demand the Park Board, Mayor and City Council start getting outside with us and take care of what the taxpayers have purchased BEFORE another item is purchased or leased.....

This is a nice off-leash dog park located in Norwalk by Calf Pasture Beach. There are usually a…read moregood number of dogs there at all times, so if your dog is off-leash, you'll want to make sure that they act appropriately. There is a small body of water, but it gets very, very muddy, so I would bring a few towels if you plan on letting your dog get wet. There isn't really a trail, per se, but there are a few rambling paths in the wooded area of the park. It's not huge, but it's large enough that dogs will have plenty of space to run and play fetch. It's larger than any gated dog parks I've been to in the area. The only downside of the park is very limited parking and you have to make sure you have an up-to-date Norwalk city permit. They are very strict about enforcing it. I once forgot my permit and I got a ticket!
