It has its own parking lot, and has separate areas going uphill. I hear the main area is a bit of a hike beyond the trees, which is supported by the presence of steps. The larger park has an ongoing Frisbee game, picnic tables, fire stoves, pavilions... If your people like the outdoors you could easily spend a summer here.

New off-leash Dog Park in Newington Center. Opened in June 2022! We visited the Park the other…read moreday in the late afternoon heading towards sunset. Beautiful open grounds with two fenced play areas; small dogs 25 pounds or less and large dogs over 25 pounds. Each with seating, picnic table, shade trees, and ample space to chase a ball or another tail. Our 26 pound pup blended in very well with the other dogs all ready there, which consisted of a large variety of other well behaved canine. We stayed for about an hour plus and socialized with the dogs and their human counterparts. Nice time and great place for your Fido(s) - 3 max per owner. Our only concern, the Park does not have a water station for the dogs, community bowls were present and guests provided water to be shared. Next time we'll bring a gallon or two to share as well.

It's fully fenced, and there are various spots of grass, bigger trees for shade, and a few spots of humans to sit. There are also some bowls for water (not sure who fills them). If I lived closer, I'd definitely check it out more often. It's one of the most pleasant dog parks I've seen.

Hoping this will let the folks know! It is situated sort of right behind Yale Divinity School but on St Ronan Street. Ample space. It's summer and it's been hot and dry so a bit dusty at the moment though there are grassy areas. Has benches for humans to sit on. I would bring some water if possible to fill up the bowls for your dog, I do not believe there is a water source on site. Seems like the type of place people stop by to let their dogs run while they are walking their dogs, which I love. Pop in for a little bit and let the dog run, then continue on your walk! My dog has only met lovely fun dogs there so far. Great location- I'll be going here a lot during my time in New Haven.

There are also a couple of agility structures which the dogs have fun with in between playing.

A great dog park.

Such a great spot! It is woodchips, not grass. Shaded and sunny areas, friendly people and puppies! Plentiful supply of tennis balls which was great.

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.
