Quarry Run Dog Park offers a unique, expansive off-leash experience in Portland, Maine, making it a favorite spot for local dog owners and visitors alike. This dog park features a fully fenced wooded area with a mix of natural trails and open spaces—perfect for pups that love to hike, wander, or play fetch. With its hilly terrain and plentiful trees, it provides a natural, dog-friendly hiking adventure that stands out among local parks.

Though there are no water fountains, poop bags and trash bins are conveniently located at the entrance. Quarry Run is praised for its friendly community, secure fencing, and abundance of shade. Please remember to bring your own water for your dog and be mindful of the terrain, which may become icy or challenging for dogs with less reliable recall.
Beautiful dog park! Fenced in woods with lots of areas for pups to run and explore. Was there in the middle of the week in the morning and there were other puppy friends for my dog to play with. Some areas that are shaded have stayed a bit icy. Pack in your own water.
We had a great time here at the dog park today! It was nice to be able to go on a small hike in a fenced area. There was also an open area where we could play fetch.
We were mostly alone during the time we were there. The other dogs and people we encountered were friendly! What a great place for Portland dog owners!
This is a great place to let your dog run! It has a fence around the entire park and incorporates trees and a natural habitat. My dog had a blast here and I didn’t have to worry about her running into the road!
We were visiting Portland and wanted to find a dog park where our puppy could get out and run. Quarry run came highly recommended by some locals we spoke with and this park didn’t disappoint. It has an expansive, fenced-in area with a diversity of terrain for the dogs to explore. The community of dogs was friendly, welcoming and playful with our pup. The owners were all great as well. Quarry run is a treasure.
Interesting park. It’s a very large wooded and hilly space with trails around and through.
Poop bags and trash at the entrance, but no water.
Given the space and the terrain, this park is probably not well suited if your dog does not have good recall.
