Big trough for splashing and water was on all winter! Somewhat covered picnic table for sitting, and good parking too. The regulator man across the street who runs the RV park will come shut the dog park gates before dusk if he feels like it, and kick everyone out. An hour before dusk, and he was yelling for us to leave.

Has poop bags and a active water area including a dog bowl, and a couple kiddy pools for the dogs on a hot day. Plenty of parking and turn area. Trees in the NorthEast end of the park for shade. Was a bit shocked that the park maintenance entrance wasn't locked. Bathrooms across the street at the Riverfront Park and campground.

The dogs and owners were very polite. We had a great time. There's ample parking. Also, lots of trails around, if you fancy a hike (on leash) before or after your dog's play time. We could be regulars if we weren't on vacation.

Posting a bit of an update to address a few complaints:…read more 1. There is now a lovely handicap accessible porta potty complete with pave stone pathway immediately to the right of the entry for the large dog area. 2. Yes, a few folks do sit in their vehicles while their dog is in the park. At least a couple of these people have health issues and cannot be with their dogs the entire time. We are a small community. We look out for each other. Please be understanding that sometimes there is more to the story than what you see. 3. I see more tourists not pick up after their dogs than residents. And let's face it, sometimes it's easy to be distracted speaking with friends, playing with other dogs, or engaging with visitors. If you find yourself at the park during a lull, there are several scoopers available. Grab a scooper, take a walk, and log some karma points. The smaller scooper is easier to dump into the bagged trashcans than the larger one (which requires a bit more talent). Or if you see a nearby singular poop that got missed, pick it up with a poop bag. We have a fantastic resource here. Cherish it. Take care of it, even if you are just visiting, And remember, with a little TLC m maybe we can hold onto this little doggie paradise for a long time.

Fairhaven Dog Park makes use of the hilly terrain to provide a natural, enclosed area with a cliff…read morethat wraps around half of the park. This isolates it from the street traffic and probably provides a nice noise-free barrier for home owners in the area. The other barrier is a fenced industrial building that you hardly notice because of the trees and shrubs that obscure it from view. If your dog likes to wander off and is not good with name recall, you might not want to take your dog off-leash here because this is not a fully fenced/gated park. There are about 5, free parking stalls on 4th Street. This is also the beginning of a flat trail to the park which winds along a shaded canopy of trees with lush greenery on either side. The short, dirt trail leads you to a wide open area with tall grass. On the perimeter is a crushed-gravel loop that is probably about a quarter of a mile long. Park benches can be found along the way...some in the sun and others shaded by trees. There is another entrance further up the hill on 4th Street, but you have to find street parking. Plus, the dirt trail is steep at this entrance and descends at a 30% grade into the far-end of the park. Not a problem for young spry dogs, but something to consider for seniors with achy joints. There are usually just a few dogs here at any one time, and I've not yet ran into any aggressive dogs or unconcerned, dog owners. Some dogs play with each other in the tall grass, but there is plenty of space for dogs that don't want to play to enjoy exploring the smells in the flora and fauna along the path. I love that this park takes advantage of the natural landscape. The dogs seem to like it too because it provides a nice break from suburbia with an opportunity for both physical and mental stimulation.

The only downside is that it's almost always muddy and the terrain is covered with pools of fetid-smelling water that has nowhere to drain. The park is situated at the bottom of a steep ravine that catches all the rainwater. Which might be ok once in a while if you have short-haired dog, or one who enjoys baths! My Romanian Mioritic Shepherd fits neither of those qualities! Archie LOVES running around in the mud or just laying down in a cool mud pool, hanging out. He had a great time but he's heading off to a bath--which he Hates--after playing at Fairhaven Dog Park!
