Great dog park. I have a dog who loves to run very fast and far. This dog park is very open and big. There are plenty of bags to pick up poop and the park is very well kept.
Nice clean park, my dog loved being able to run around without a leash. They have water, poop bags, and lots of areas to sit. Great place to have some fun. Just follow the rules and clean up after your dog. Definitely returning soon.
One of the best dog parks I’ve ever been to in NJ! We were visiting from out of town, and was pleasantly surprised how clean it was. Beautiful, open space with areas of shade. Plenty of water provided. Poo bags all along the fence. Everyone was super friendly, too! Our pups had a blast! 🐶
This dog park is wonderful! The grounds are beautifully maintained, there is always water in several of the dog bowls no matter what time of day we come (though it is always helpful to bring some water to help refill), and the dog owners and dogs are friendly! It’s a good vibe all-around. Our pup is always happy to visit his pup pals here.
I have met so many wonderful people at this dog park. My dogs have made many new dog friends. There is so much space for them to roam and play. Other people are always great about bringing extra water, just in case for the dogs. The area is well maintained and is beautiful if you are looking for somewhere to bond with your pet and get away for the day.
