Located in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, Egg Harbor Township Dog Park is a well-maintained, membership-only dog park designed with safety and fun in mind. This dog-friendly spot offers separate areas for small and large dogs, plus a unique introductory run to ease your pup into social play. Visitors appreciate the secure double-gated entrance (accessed by a key fob), the requirement for up-to-date vaccinations, and annual membership ensuring a friendly, well-supervised community. The park surface is soft sand, gentle on paws and perfect for dogs who love to dig and roll, with the added benefit of easy maintenance.
Amenities abound, from fresh water and shared toys to benches, gazebos for shade, and a shoe-cleaning area. There’s covered shelter, wheelchair accessibility including parking, and a regularly cleaned space supported by member contributions and thoughtful upgrades. Egg Harbor Township Dog Park stands out as a safe, clean, and vibrant destination for pet owners—one of the best dog parks in Atlantic County, ideal for both play and socialization close to home.
A great dog park! It keeps evolving and new upgrades are added every month. The policies are updated regularly too and all people I met so far were friendly and respectful. I’ve met only few aggressive dogs so far(in 15-20 visits), but their owners were quick to prevent accidents. Hats down to the people that are managing it, the donors, the members, the website admin and the sponsors!
Great place for your furry baby. A place for small dogs separate from the large dogs. A run area in between to introduce your dog to others. Toys are donated, benches, gazebo areas, and a small area to clean up your shoes and shake off some of the sand before you hop back in your car. The area is well kept and maintained. Can’t recommend enough.
This is the perfect socialization spot for us and the pup. We have met so many lovely people and their dogs. Sure it’s not free but it’s only NULL/year which is completely affordable. In addition I appreciate the safety measures such as a locked gate (requires a key fob from membership), up to date vaccinations for dogs, and there are different sections based off of dog size. The land was donated by the city but it’s the memberships that keep the park safe and managed. The park grounds are sand which is kinder on the dogs paws. It also allows for them to roll and dig without destroying the park since you can just fill the holes. So happy to be a part of this community!
Great place to wear your pup out. It is well run and maintained, making a fun, safe place for your pet. Just a note; you must register and join (NULL) to use facility.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN OPEN ACCESS PARK, THIS IS FOR MEMBERS ONLY. Dogs must have their shots and be registered. You have to fill out an application and become a member. A key fob is required for entry. The park is open from dawn to dusk.
I enjoy this dog park! It’s clean, water and toys are provided and shared, and there’s lots of space! The people are friendly and there are lots of dogs who want to play. There is a large dog side, a small dog side, and a middle run for dogs to get used to the park. There is also a porta potty on site if needed.
