Hamden Dog Park
Hamden Dog Park, established in 2002, is a well-maintained and popular dog park in the New Haven area with separate sections for large and small dogs. It features wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, picnic tables, and a friendly community atmosphere. The park is appreciated for its cleanliness, ample shade, drainage, and spaces for both dogs and their owners to enjoy. Water spigots are available during the non-freezing months, and while poop bags are provided by donations from park goers, trash bins are present to help maintain cleanliness.

One of the best dog parks anywhere! Lots of room. Lots of shade. Lots of places for humans to relax. Great dogs and people seem to be there most of the time.
The best dog park we have ever been to .. just a little bit of a ride for us but that’s okay ..
One of Casper’s favorite spots. It’s really a nice community for the humans too. I always try to help keep the place clean, but very often someone has beat me to it. We even come during rain storms because it has great drainage and it doesn’t turn into a mud pit.
In my opinion the best dog park in the greater New Haven area. Last week was the first time bringing my boy there and right off the bat it’s obvious the people involved in developing and maintaining this park are passionate about their dogs and providing a safe space for them to play. The park was clean and provides everything needed for a great time. This is our new favorite dog park.
Good sized park with separate sections for large and small dogs. Ground cover is mostly dirt with some gravel near the entrance. This is one of the older parks (opened in 2002!), but it’s been well kept (although the tree branches need some care after this past winter).
“Poop bags” are plastic shopping bags donated by park goers and there is trash. Water spigots for water bowls are set up for non-freezing months.
My puppy got done good wrestling in here, although there was a bit of a tiff between a few other dogs – the owners responded appropriately.
