About Bernard Dog Run

This dog park offers a well-maintained, spacious area for pups to enjoy off-leash play time. Located in Lawrenceville, it’s divided into separate sections for small and large dogs, ensuring a safe environment for all. The park is bordered by trees, providing ample shade on hotter days, and there’s fresh hay laid down to help minimize mud, making it pleasant year-round.

Accessing Bernard Dog Run can be a bit tricky; many have found navigating the entrance challenging, often opting for a shortcut across the railroad. It’s advisable to park nearby and take the trail under the bridge for a scenic stroll to the gate. Once inside, dogs can run freely while their owners appreciate the stunning views along the river.

While water stations are readily available, be sure to bring your own cleanup bags, as they can be hard to find here. The park tends to get busy during the evening hours, so visiting outside of peak times is recommended for pups who may feel anxious in large groups. With its friendly atmosphere and engaged owners, Bernard Dog Run is a great spot for socializing and enjoying the outdoors.
