Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Located at 100 Legion Dr in Pawtucket, Fairlawn Dog Park is a city-friendly destination where dog owners can let their pets play and socialize off-leash. This dog park features separate fenced areas for both large and small dogs, making it a suitable place for dogs of all sizes. The park is known for its astroturf and a large sandpit in the center, perfect for energetic pups to dig and play. Visitors also mention platforms, ramps, and agility features, providing extra fun for active dogs in a safe, enclosed space.
Amenities at Fairlawn Dog Park include water access, poop bags, trash cans, and seating areas for owners. The entire site is wheelchair accessible and has a parking area, making it convenient for local dog owners. While the park itself is on the smaller side and can sometimes get crowded, especially in the small dog section, it remains one of the top pet-friendly spots for dog lovers in Pawtucket. Families note that the park is good for kids as well, although everyone is encouraged to help keep the area clean for all visitors.
The fenced in area is a bit small, not a lot of room for the dog to run around. There were a lot of platforms and ramps to play on though and a giant sand pit in the middle of the grounds. There were no other dogs in the 30 minutes or so we were there.
There was a lot of dog poop left on the ground. I picked up 4 or 5 piles while there. It’s a bit disappointing the lack of care other owners have in the dog park.
Very nice park which I took my new little boy to today. He is a rescue from Slater Animal Shelter and I was a little concern on how he might get along with other dogs. The only concern I have is with the 3 decorative rocks laying on the ground. While dogs are playing (roughhousing) they don’t notice them and could get injured. Other than than a great place to wear off some energy!
First time there to take our pup to play and exercise. Been trying to find a good one. And we found this one so far that we like and she likes.
Small dog park in Fairlawn memorial park. Park gas astroturf and sand.
Water, bags, and trash were available. Separate sections for large and small dogs.
Small dog section was crowded, but no other pups in the large dog section.
Not hugely impressive, but seems like a decent park, especially in a city environment
Started going there a couple of summers ago and it’s awesome. All the dogs are friendly. My dog has so much fun and looks forward to going there! Try it out! There’s a yard for small dogs and a yard for big dogs. All the dogs are spayed and neutered.
