Reviews
Not impressed at all. I had read such great things about this park – and was excited to go. Very little shade and pea-stone? Explains why it was empty. My dog didn’t like walking on it.
If you are on the Cape – the Brewster Dog Park is much nicer and more dog friendly!
This is a nice park. Bags, trash, water… ground is peastone and sand. Separate sections for small dogs. There are cute “statue” around the park that serve as obstacles as well as decoration. It seems very well maintained.
The one downside is that there is very little shade.
No shade and pebbles in middle of park is a terrible decision for dogs feet and yet it takes up half of the park acreage. During the summer, they should install a doggy pool or fountain.
I went at 11am on a Tuesday morning with my pug and there was just one other dog there who stayed to himself. There is barely any shade at all anywhere. Great that they have two areas, one for large dogs and one for small. There are a couple of water fountains. Left in about 10 minutes because my dog was looking to mingle.
Cute little dog park! The dog park itself would better be described as a dog run, as it’s one of those kinds that’s a long, open space surrounded by a fence that’s mostly got room for dogs to run around in, with less actual things for a dog to interact with. There’s a large and small dog side, with the small dog portion being a little smaller than the large dog one. That being said, it suits its purpose well, and is an interesting place for humans to go as well as to take your dog to get some free reign time! Around the park are several interesting sculptures and a little memorial to dogs who have passed on, which I found to be honestly very cute and sweet. In the park itself there’s water fountains both for humans and dogs, but these were closed when we came by due to COVID. Speaking of, the park is a mask-only zone, so be prepared to sweat your mask the entire time you’re there! There’s parking in a somewhat small lot out front, but when we came at 5pm or so there was plenty of space. The park is relatively accessible, though the gravel may be somewhat difficult to traverse. Lovely little park in total, good for a quick outing for your dog!
