🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions
If you’ve spent time at an off-leash park, you’ve probably seen it:A parent strolls in with a stroller 🚼 or […]
Edgewood Park Dog Park is a pet-friendly destination in New Haven, CT, perfect for dog owners seeking a safe space for off-leash play and socialization. The park offers separate spaces for large and small dogs, each area fully fenced for security. Amenities like picnic tables and proximity to kid-friendly spaces make this dog park a versatile choice for families and pet parents alike.
Though the park features a solid fence and a double-gate entry system for safety, visitors have noted that some gates may need repairs and certain areas can be overgrown. Dog owners will appreciate the mix of grassy and dirt terrain, shady trees, and a conveniently located dog water fountain near the adjacent skate park. This dog park is not only a green getaway but also a hub within Edgewood Park, which offers on-leash walking trails and open spaces for both exercise and relaxation.
This place looks like it’s from Chernobyl. Overgrown, and completely intact. It’s very strange. But its still a place to let your dog room free.
This place needs a recent review. Double gate with large & small dog areas is great but front gate is broken. Everything is overgrown and the enclosed space isn’t that big. It could certainly be a bigger dog park considering there isn’t even a path to get to it. There should also be a sign to beware of ticks.
Went there for two yrs straight while my pup was growing up. Stayed outside more than inside as all the people with rescue dogs and zero knowledge how to deal with them would just go in and release. Great for walks on leash all around but be careful in the fenced area depending on who’s inside and what handle do they have on their dog.
Love being my dogs here very nice , open area 🙅 closed area offered as well!! Also took pictures close to area sake park Winter ❄️ looks great
If u haven’t been here please add to bucket list 😜
This is a surprisingly good dog park. In my experience, most people pick up after their dogs, so you’re not too likely to wind up stepping in poop (or having a dog who rolled in it 😖), but still watch your step because there are a lot of holes dug by dogs. There’s a small area for small dogs, but it’s pretty boring and I’ve never seen anyone in it. The big dog area is pretty solidly fenced in, has some grass but a fair amount of dirt, some trees, and a picnic table. Nothing fancy, but my dog loves getting the chance to run free and chase her friends.
There’s also an orange water fountain nearby, on the edge of the skate park, with a bottom fountain for dogs. I included a picture.
