🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
The Hunterdon County Off-Leash Dog Area is a spacious dog park located at 310 NJ-12 in Flemington, New Jersey. This popular spot welcomes dogs and their owners with both small and large dog areas, providing plenty of room to run and play. It’s a wheelchair accessible facility, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. The park is known for being pet-friendly and kid-friendly, making it a great destination for families.
Unique to this dog park in Flemington, New Jersey are the separated spaces designated for different dog sizes, ensuring a safer play environment. There are benches and even a solar picnic table for owner comfort, and water bowls are available outside the fenced areas. While shade can be limited—especially after some trees were removed—local feedback notes the park is usually clean and well-maintained, though it can get muddy after rain and may occasionally have issues with waste stations running out of bags.
The only thing positive I can say about this dog park is that it was large and there were two sides of it. One side was for larger dogs, and the other side was for smaller dogs. However, Instituting a 20 pound weight limit on the small dog side was ridiculous. How is a 25 pound dog going to safely play on the large dog side with a 100 pound dog??!! My biggest complaint and the reason I will never ever go to this dog park again is that it was riddled with large piles of dog poop even on the small dog Side. I brought both of my dogs there and actually spent the entire time picking up piles of poop into the bags that I brought with me. Thankfully, I brought them because all of the bags in the bag stations were empty! Why even have a dog park if it’s not going to be taken care of?!? The grass was long, and therefore you have to worry about ticks. I was so disgusted when I left there. I had to disinfect both of my dogs before they even got into my car. Gross!
3 star dog park both sides for large n small dogs are very large. The water pump well is outside the park n plenty of bowls that look clean. Benches n a solar picnic table. Very clean, for the most part, there were some dog poop not picked up by the owner. I’m not sure why ppl are so disgusting and don’t pick up after their dog. My only 2 complaints are the weight size of the big n small dog areas as it says small dogs up to 20lbs n for big dogs 20 plus lbs. So not right as I have 2 mini dogs that weigh over 29lbs n they should not be running n engaging with large dogs as they would be stepped on. Also one dog per person is insane to even suggest that as it should be 2 dogs max per person.
Well maintained dog park.
Great place to take the dog,right now very muddy
Nice dog park, wish there was shade over the benches. Some playgrounds have a man made covering. Heard trees were removed, think that was a good call.
