Beautiful day at 2PM and the park is locked up. Great park but our pups need access to it to utilize it.

Really nice park, I bring my own stuff, but they do have metal Bowls and some toys there under the benches. It's a big area as well. There are some spots where the fence is up and a determined pup can get under. Definitely will be back!

Beautiful park to visit. Water level was very low in the 2nd weekend of October 2025 but still gorgeous for photos and relaxing near the water. Not wheelchair accessible. Would be slippery if snowing or raining. Multiple trails for hiking. Clean bathrooms. Two parking areas that hold about 20 cars each.

I have lived in the Abingtons since 2017, and for some reason or another, this was our first visit and we were thoroughly impressed! We came as a family with both our dogs, and they took their time sniffing around, and when they became comfortable- began greeting other's furry friends. It was a real hoot watching our 6mo old shepsky acclimate to all the other pups 🤣 One moment he was intimidated, and the next moment, wanted to play. Almost everyone cleans up after their pet, and most folks set up puppy playdates and meet up once or twice a week. Kind folks in the Abingtons, so a real great place to let the dogs roam free. There are two large corrals, one bigger than the other- with doody bags in abundance, and to unleash your beasts in peace. Very highly recommended!
