This dog park is directly off Junkins Ave, right next to the Mill Pond. There is an entrance into…read morethe park via a gate. You walk in with your dog, close the gate behind, unleash, then let go through the second door. In the park there are tennis balls on the ground and a section where there are water pans. I'm not a fan of the still water in the pans, and usually empty and refresh when I arrive. There is plenty of space in the park for dogs to play with each other. There are also obstacles in the park for training. A picnic table with a roof above for you to sit down and relax while watching your dog(s) have fun. Certainly a place I recommend for a quick exercise and social activity for your dog.

We were on vacation from CT and were thrilled to find a dog park so close to Kittery Maine. The dog park was clean and I love that they have dog bowls there. They have the coolest fire hydrant that has a hose hooked up to it, to fill the bowls. We stayed for 2.5 hrs. and Logan had a blast. I was so happy that there were so many dogs at the park. Everyone that we met here was super friendly and so were the dogs!!

Wanting to stretch our legs on a spring day, we came here because it was another green space close…read moreby to where we live that we hadn't explored yet (and it had ample parking). Even after doing my research, though, I did not know fully realize that the 40-acre Hinckley Park in South Portland was FOR dogs. Like, it's not just a trail that dogs are allowed on, which is what I assumed. It's a straight up dog park where leashes aren't required, and apparently neither is picking up after your canine friend. So, if you don't mind the occasional poo pile or the incredibly frequent dog interaction (read: being sniffed in awkward places, being jumped on, being growled at, or being rubbed on after a pup has taken a swim in the muddy water) then maybe this spot isn't for you. Which is too bad, because it really does offer very nice, relatively short walking paths - all very level and accessible to all kinds of walking abilities. There's also plenty of bird call, flowers, a tiny waterfall, two ponds fed Kimball Brook that you can apparently fish at, wooden bridges to cross them, etc. And did I mention lots...and lots...and lots...and lots of dogs. So, as a human: I probably will never come here again. But, if I were a dog: YES, PLEASE. Let's go for a double-u aye ell kay here EVERYDAY.

Both canine and human. Now if u and your dog are the out doorsy, fit fanatical types.. This is the place for you. Choices of trails. An amazing pond for the pups to swim in. I hear there is a second pond too. I did not find just a lazy enclosed off leash area (although all trails are off leash) which is why i knocked off a star. Its gorgeous too. If u can walk a 1/4 mile and ur pup can do its a must visit.

Maybe that's worth it if you actually live in manchester, but even if you do, i read reviews of various drama. I started doing research, and found that nearby in hooksett, derry and merrimack have dog parks. I decided to give this place a try. It was kind of a loopy drive if you are coming on the highway from manchester. But this park is quite nice. -a small and large dog area - good for humans too! There is a river right by the park, you can enjoy a nice walk after a fun play at the park with your dog, or take your dog to swim! -there is a dog house that is like the size of a small barn that has a lost and found, lots of cute pics of the dogs that come here. Plenty of water jugs already filled up with clean water - lots of chairs here to sit -quite clean, i didnt find much poop -some agility items here, very basic -some owners have left toys here

Wow. I've been coming to Rockport to go to the adjacent beaches for half a century and I never knew…read morethis meadow and playground and pond was here. It's a calm, quiet oasis, filled with beautiful flowers and bushes and greens until it isn't. The playground here has a full swing set, and a decent sturdy slide and climbing platform. Plenty of places to sit in solitude or among others. Tons of hidden nooks and crannies with seating including a Lilly pod pond. Huge space for dogs to run. Hidden and on up high is a larger pond that must be filled with fresh water fish. Lots and lots and lots of shade. Perfect area for a picnic. Very very clean and safe.

Next year I'll need to enter him in a contest for sure. To be honest, I thought we'd be there 10 minutes tops as it was a hot day, and Newman gets overheated easily. Plus with tons of other dogs there, he would work himself into a frenzy. However, there were countless water bowls and sprinklers for the dogs to stay cool and we ended up being there over an hour with no trouble at all! The dog owners were all very pleasant, and we didn't run across any 'unruly' animals anywhere. I will definitely be making this an annual event.
