This is a really nice dog park. Two areas- dogs under 35 lbs and a larger one for the “big kids”. Nice benches in both areas for the pet parents to sit and chat and a few agility objects just in case the dogs want to show off their skills. Double gated entry area for safety and the locker is always well stocked with pick up bags. Both areas have lots of grass. Big applause to the people who bring their pets there because they all seem to pick up after their pooches….. not a lot of poop left lying around here! Nice park although the parking areas could use a bit of repaving.
Great place to take your dog to socialize with other dogs. Separate areas for small and large dogs. Bags provided to remove your dog waste. Always open plenty of parking.
My pup loves, no… LOVES this place. He’s 9 months old now, been coming here on and off since he was about 4 months old. He’s had nothing but excellent interactions with other dogs of all breeds and ages. Just recently I started introducing him to the agility obstacles in the park. The “see-saw” is my one and only complaint. The board is NOT attached to the frame. As Sarge was about halfway up, the board slipped off the frame and he got spooked and jumped off, safely landing.
Won’t be using that until it’s repaired. Not sure who is responsible for maintaining the equipment, but I would assume it falls under Parks and Recreation for the township.
Just take note of equipment security and safety prior to letting your best friend use the obstacles.
This was one of the nicest best-equipped dog parks I have seen. there’s one in southern California that might outshine it, I’ll admit. But this was amazing. It might be the terrain is different, but unlike what we have at my nearby dog park in my neighborhood, wood chips, the entry area of canine Commons is deep in clean small River Rock gravel, rounded, easy on the paws, and apparently over a layer of landscape cloth to keep mud and weeds out. See the photos.
Inside, I believe there are benches, yes. There’s also some informal agility equipment, a ramp and some slalom poles, couple of boxes to jump onto and off of. A trash can and bag dispenser in the middle of the yard, rather than at one far end where it’s convenient to reload. Instead, this is convenient to use.
Overall, it was a remarkably beautiful dog park, and one I wouldn’t mind using again when I’m shopping in the area.
We take our Cockapoo Pinji there always.. There are separate fenced areas for Small & Big Dogs..
