What People Are Saying

Nice sized park! Mostly grass, with a bit of dirt showing through in places
Love this dog park but some of the owners need to own their dogs issues and not place blame on others and definitely not bring your unfriendly dog to a dog park!!
New dog park opened in Sep 2022. Well designed and maintained, plenty space for both large dogs and small dogs

About Newington Dog Park

Nestled in Newington, this dog park opened its gates in September 2022 and has quickly become a popular spot for both pups and their owners. The park features distinct areas for large and small dogs, allowing for safer playtime. While it boasts a nice size with ample grass space, users have noted a bit of dirt peeking through in some sections, especially after rains. Though there are trees along the back, shade can be limited, so plan accordingly during those hot days.

Despite the overall positive atmosphere, some visitors have experienced challenges with certain dog owners. Incidents involving unfriendly dogs have been reported, leading to uncomfortable confrontations. While many of the dog parents are friendly and respectful, there are tales of a few, like one particular “Karen,” causing disruptions that have even involved police interaction. On the positive side, the community spirit remains strong, with plenty of friendly faces around.

Do keep in mind that the park lacks water stations and waste bags, so it’s best to come prepared. Street parking is available, but be mindful during peak hours. If your dog enjoys fetching, consider bringing a ball along—just be cautious of potential interactions with other pups! Overall, this park offers a good mix of playful energy and space, making it a solid choice for your dog’s day out in Newington.
