🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions

Nestled in the heart of Peekskill, New York, the Peekskill Dog Park offers a fun and convenient off-leash experience for local dog owners. Well known among pet lovers in Westchester County, this dog park features separate areas for both small and large dogs, giving dogs of all sizes plenty of space to roam and play. The park’s woodchip surface ensures mud-free paws even after wet weather, making it a reliable spot when other areas are too messy.
This dog-friendly park is beloved for its basic agility equipment, tennis balls, and benches for owners to relax on. During the warmer months, running water is available for your furry friend’s hydration needs (just bring your own bowl!). Recent improvements and friendly patrons make Peekskill Dog Park a welcoming spot where both dogs and owners can socialize safely. With wheelchair-accessible parking and proximity to Main Street, it’s easy to see why this spot is considered a hidden gem for local dog lovers looking for an off-leash escape.
Quiet hidden gem, has a little brigde over a stream and 2 benches.
This is a very good dog park. Two separate areas make it easy to maneuver dogs around to mitigate conflict, and each side is perfectly equipped for your dog to have a great time. Pork Chop has made some really good friends here, and it is our local dog park. Five stars!
Small but nice because it has woodchips that don’t get muddy like other dog parks. So many owners leave the gate open!! My dog got out 2 times and it’s right near a main road. The only reason I go here is last resort when everywhere else is muddy.
Nice enough park with separate large and small dog sections. Wood chips, some agility equipment. Plenty of tennis balls usually available. No running water but bowls if you bring your own.
Edit: running water is available at the park during warm months now!
The park is a little small. It does have a section for small dogs and a section for larger dogs. I find that in this park people are friendlier and more comfortable with larger breeds. There is no running water for your dogs. There are no facilities for pet owners. The park is fairly well kept and there are some toys for dogs to play with. There is also a very basic agility course if you will. If there are more than 5 dogs in the large breed section it becomes a little cumbersome. I do find pet owners here are more aware of their pets and seem to understand when their pet is not behaving well and it might be time to leave. I haven’t found that to be the case and other local dog parks.
