Reviews
Nice dog park on the shore of Lake Erie in downtown Buffalo. Lots of parking, a rain shelter at the back and running water for the warmer months. Friendly humans also.
Finally we were able to take cash to checkout this “ off leash “ that I had read about since we moved here and we were not disappointed.Beautiful views and lots of wide open space to run and play, there was only a couple of other dogs there but because our spoiled little baby doesn’t socialize with anyone but us he wasn’t interested in having anything to do with going anywhere but next to us, hopefully we will be able to get out more now and he will become a bit more sociable but this is a great park idea with water benches and more.
Fantastic yet simple dog park! Small and big dog areas. Poop baga available and two covered garbage bins near entrance. Great pup drinking station. Nice chairs and benches set about for resting while the canine party continues.
This is a decent place to let your dog run unleashed inside a fenced-in area within the City of Buffalo. It’s on the waterfront, so dress accordingly for the weather.
The entrance area has a safe area to leash/unleash before entry/exit.
It does get muddy because of use, but it is a large grass area. There is no swimming pool here, but an occasional puddle happens.
Those plastic bags you have stuffed in the corner from shopping are needed here. They have large mailboxes you can put them in so we can pick up the “ya know what” we might step in. There is a “Johnny” next to the parking area if you need it.
There are two sections of the park, big dog & little dog. You can meet other dog-parents, talk about your furkids, and just enjoy the breeze off the lake. You can bring your kid’s fave toy, but don’t be surprised if everyone wants to join the fun!
The water fountain is turned off for the winter, so bring a dish and water for your pup.
For an urban setting this place is awesome plenty of room for both large and small dogs to run and play with each other. has porta potty. also has separate drinking fountains for the dogs. decent parking. right in the middle of a park. what more can you and your little guys want?
