Newhall Dog Park is a popular, well-maintained dog park located in Concord, CA, designed with both dogs and their owners in mind. This dog park features spacious, fenced areas where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play. Separate enclosures for small and large dogs ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, making it an ideal spot for all breeds and sizes. The park also boasts ample seating and picnic tables, offering a welcoming atmosphere for the whole family.
With water bowls available, wheelchair accessible amenities, and a family-friendly setting (including nearby picnic and barbecue facilities), Newhall Dog Park is perfect for social pups and their humans looking for pet-friendly activities in the East Bay. Do note, shade is limited, and geese can sometimes become a nuisance in the play areas. Regulars praise the sense of community and the park’s overall cleanliness, though the lawn has occasionally been impacted by maintenance issues. Special events such as dog costume parties make this Concord dog park a lively spot year-round.
Vary well kept park with big fenced in dog run area.
We love that it’s fenced, and small and large dogs are kept apart in separate enclosures. It’s never too crowded, either: we’ve seen, at most three other large dogs there at any time, even on weekends when we go.
Nice park with lawn. Many water bowls also. I go at the same time so I know the regulars and the pups get along with each other. However, the lawn is mostly dead now due to broken pipes over summer.

There is very little shade and huge geese are pooping all over in the dog play area. It is pretty nasty stuff to get off a dog! ( An out-of-state visitor – 1st week of May, 2025)
