My dog raven has been going here for a while and loves it!! Most owners are very attentive and most of the dogs are very friendly! There’s also a swimming area my dog is loving this summer!! There’s a lot of dogs here that are regulars so my dog has been able to form friendships and has learned great dog manners!!
A very popular dog 🐕 park! There are toys and a small tunnel available. Just make sure your dog 🐶 is sociable and please clean up after your pet. Thanks 👍!
I highly recommend this dog park!! 😍🐕 There is also a boat ramp where your dog can go into the water and a short walking trail that is well maintained behind the dog park! It is called the river walk trail and has lots of benches and bridges!!
I absolutely LOVE bringing my dog here!! Rexi loves it too!! There is almost always other dogs to play with, especially at night and on the weekends! I love how there is the double gate, plenty of poop bags hanging up, water & bowls, balls and ball throwers, and lots of space to run around!!
I have been visiting Hooksett Dog Park consistently for the past week, and while I was initially excited to have a space for my dog to run and socialize, I have serious concerns about safety. On two separate occasions, I witnessed the same pitbull attack another dog, showing clear signs of aggression. Unfortunately, the owner did little to intervene or correct the behavior, which made the situation even more alarming.
One day, I brought my dog and was cautious but didn’t want to cut the visit short in case I was overreacting. Within ten minutes, that same dog pinned a German Shepherd to the ground, thrashing and pulling at it aggressively. It was a chaotic and distressing scene, and again, the owner made no real effort to stop or discipline the dog. This kind of recurring behavior makes the park feel unsafe, not just for dogs but for their owners as well.
While the park itself is spacious and conveniently located, and most owners are responsible and friendly, the lack of accountability for aggressive dogs is a major issue. Without any enforcement of rules or monitoring of problem behavior, it’s hard to feel comfortable bringing my dog here. I want to love this park, but unless something is done to address safety concerns, I won’t be returning anytime soon.
Nice park.. there was only one other dog there at the time so we chose to do the riverwalk. Beautiful area
