East Rock Dog Park
East Rock Dog Park is a community-friendly dog park located next to a school in New Haven, CT. It features a small fenced-in area with peastone and dirt ground, and an additional open field area for larger dogs to run freely. The park is wheelchair accessible and offers amenities like water fountains, trash bins for waste disposal, and some shaded benches. Parking is limited on weekdays due to proximity to the school. The park fosters a good mix of dog breeds and sizes, making it a great spot for socialization, though caution is advised as not all dogs interact well off-leash.

Go here all the time. The dog owners are excellent, a lot of the same people every day. Great mix of dog breeds and sizes. Nice facility and in a great location. Awesome water fountain as well, and plenty of trash for waste disposal.
Great dog park. Good people, too. Unfenced area down in the field next to the park.
Great little spot to bring your canine and let him loose. However, just behind there is a giant field that is better for bigger dogs.
I was very excited about this park, there seemed to be a great sense of community with lots of dogs even in the winter! The fenced in area was on the small side, but very nice; however, all of the dogs were in the open area down the hill. Love that there’s a nice space to run my large dog. I wish it would’ve worked out, but unfortunately my dog was attacked by an aggressive dog. Will not be returning to this park.
Small, but decent sized for a city park with peastone and dirt ground cover. This park is set next to a school, so parking would be extremely limited on weekdays.
Bags, trash, and a water fountain – a few benches and the trees provide some good shade one they have leaves.
