There are plenty of benches and tables for the humans to sit, water bowls for the dogs, and owners are generally good about picking up after their dogs and watching that they stay out of trouble.

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.

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.

What a fabulous community resource! Reviewing because it didn't come up on my first search for dog…read moreparks in this area, and now it's the one closest to where I am staying! 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.

The newest dog park in town is awesome! I happened to find out about it this morning and went right…read moreover with my new dog to check it out. Learned that it was funded by the nearby Corsair apartments and that it just opened within the last month. I wish I had known about the grand opening they had earlier this week. This park is slightly closer to my house than the Union Street dog park (where I usually go), is clean and a perfect size (spacious for the dogs but small enough to keep an eye on them) with 2 benches, lots of trees/shade and shrubbery, as well as a dog and human water fountain. There was also a dispenser fully stocked with poop bags. The park is made of small pebbles and there is a small dog area adjacent to the main park. I've seen the name referred to as Mechanic Street Dog Park and East Rock Dog Park, but a flier posted also stated they were looking for suggestions for a name, so time will tell. This will be me and my dogs' new spot in town!

In those 8 years I have had 3 different dogs and all loved East Shore Park. My current dog thinks the park is all for him: he would go there multiple times a day if I let him, but we usually aim for once or twice a day at most. There are multiple areas to explore including tennis courts, a playground, several ball fields and overgrown bocce courts. Unfortunately the sewage treatment plant smell still lingers. Definitely a down fall to living in this neighborhood. But the water views and park itself can't be beat.

Made a quick uturn and spent the next two hours enjoying this completely paved and awesome park. There is about a 4-5 mile fully paved path, with mountain biking paths adjacent to it, as well as wooded paths. You'll see VERY friendly swans, geese, and ducks (please don't feed them), plenty of squirrels, and the occasional tiny bird running away from you. The are several grass lined bridges that make you feel like you're inside a fairytale, but be careful as they run very low to the water, and are extremely soft in some places. There are steps at various points that lead you back up to the main road at random points, and at the very end you'll happen upon a cool ass skate park. Lover this park so much and will use it as my walking spot going forward!

I would not recommend this "park". When I first arrived to New Haven I thought I'd explore all the…read moreparks (since I love nature), but this wasn't a good call. I went in winter and not only did it look barren as one might expect, but it felt really sketchy!!

On the way home from this park outside The Little Black store I even literally saw the man who had stolen my amazon packages the day before, in plain sight and not apprehended by police. Very dangerous area.

There's a real sense of community, and I appreciate that they provide dog bags for everyone!
