The first official Dog Park on Cape Cod, Fresh Pond Dog Park is part of the town's Fresh Pond…read moreConservation Area. A rugged-looking area that features wire-fenced enclosures and an easy walking trail through the woods. During the summer, its one of the very few legal places that dogs and their friends can swim and play without disturbing two-legged beach-goers! There are no fees and trash-barrel service may not be available (pack it out). There is ample parking for 8-10 vehicles. No restrooms. The park is an effort of the Dennis Natural Resources Department, Animal Control, the Conservation Commission, and the Board of Selectmen. Additional site improvements were donated by Cape Cod Kennel Club, Derbyfield Kennel, Eagle Fence, the volunteers of Americorps, and the Dennis DPW. Cape Cod Kennel Club supplies most of this information. Directions - Route 6 to Exit 9A and Route 134 SOUTH - Stay on 134 South through 3 traffic lights - Fresh Pond Dog Park is on the right (west) side of Route 134, one half mile past the lights at the Upper County Road intersection

This place has been here forever but somehow I've always just gone past it. Since I've been on a…read morewalking kick over the last year, I'm spotting many places that I have zoomed past without ever really "seeing". That's one of the advantages of walking a ton - you slow down and see things that have always been there but you've missed. Part of my intentional consciousness of really viewing my surroundings. The Meadow on The Cove is exactly what it sounds like - a giant meadow of wildflowers overlooking the Orleans Town Cove. Very pretty and worth checking out. Not much to do here but there are two clearings with park benches, so you can sit & rest and reflect or read in peace. There's a small parking area when you first go in (room for 5 cars) but I had the place to myself the entire time I was there. A lace like this is part of the charm of a small town like Orleans. And don't forget the bees! TONS of big, friendly, fuzzy black & yellow Bumble Bees taking full advantage of this massive field of Wildflowers. There's something very zen about watching them make their rounds. (Full disclosure: when I wrote 'black & yellow Bumble Bees' above, it made me think of the metal band Styper! And Michael Sweet, the lead singer of Stryper actually lives on the Cape. Yes, I know I'm a weirdo. But still, Stryper Rocks!)

There is a connected playground with areas for 2-5 year olds and 5-10 year olds. Really fun and interactive features like pirate ships, spinning features, and slides. The entire play area is rubber so you don't have to worry about falls or wood chips. There is a nice grassy and shaded area in the middle to set up chairs and a picnic. A few tables are available but with no shade. You are also next to a dog park, hiking trails, basketball courts, baseball fields, and tennis courts. There is something for the entire family. Highly recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous FENCED IN playground/splash pad with bathrooms and plenty of shaded areas. Please note the splash pads don't start splashing until 10 am. We travel to the cape every year and i'm so thankful we came across this spot during our annual visit this summer. We spent almost 4 hours here. Bring a packed lunch, a dry set of clothes for the kiddos and a book to read while your kids live their best lives. Also, a lot of the local moms frequent here often and they were very friendly! We will be back :)

Anyway, the park itself is exactly the same to the other ones on Cape Cod. (I believe the same contractor has built all of them with the exact same specifications). There are 3 pens. Small, Older dogs. Large dogs & Docile, Shy, Training Pen. All the areas are clean & the people seem friendly enough. There is plenty of parking too. Make sure you have/bring a Gallon jug of water for your dogs from Oct 1st - May 1st. The Town shuts off the Dog water fountains in the park. Definitely recommended.

It's different than what my dog is used to (gravel, concrete, & sand instead of grass/dirt) but she definitely didn't mind. It has two sides (small dogs under 25 lbs and all dogs). Unfortunately most of the dogs were on the small dog side, but my dog still enjoyed racing the small dogs from the other side of the fence. The only downside is that there is very little shade, but that's a common issue at dog parks. We plan on returning before our Cape vacation ends!

There is also a playground as well bringing on the energy for the youngsters. The park even has a path, branching and beginning right off the CCRT, leading to the playground, and then past that, loops around the baseball and soccer field, with another trail branching off, leading to the entrance and the playground once again. The walk is quite enjoyable, with nice views all around. The bathroom though needs to get touched up, in terms of it being dirty.
