Bunker Hills Dog Park

I was nervous about dog parks because of all the horror stories I've seen and heard but my pup LOVES playing with other dogs. So we went and observed from outside of the park (through the fence.) I didn't feel comfortable yet and there was a ton of people there (Friday evening end of summer. ) So after more obedience training and confidence in my end, we tried it. We loved it. Most people seem very responsible and keep an eye on their dogs. There were a few who you could tell visit a lot, felt like owners were too relaxed and didn't supervise their dogs and their dogs seemed to have so much ownership of the park that were a bit territorial. But that was mild and few and far between. I have had only good experiences there. They also have a small dog park that is separate from the other side. There was poop bags in case you forgot your own and shared water dishes and coolers of water to refill if needed. Not too shabby.

Every time we camp at Bunker Hills Campground, we bring our pups over to this beautiful dog park. I love the paved trail the human companions can walk on while your dog follows you and can be playful with friends along the way. I encountered some pretty nice humans here, as well as their pups. Enjoyed some nice conversations with strangers or just walked alone. So much space for dogs to run free. Water jugs were at both ends of the park but were both empty on all of our visits, so bring water for your furry friend. The rules say no digging, but there are some decent sized holes under the picnic tables where the dogs have tried to find a cool place to lay down. Lots of trees, well maintained, bags and buckets for doggy doo. On one occasion there were gunshots at a nearby shooting range that kind of spooked my pups so just be aware. Otherwise, our dogs were so excited to hop in the car and know they were coming here. You can also walk the trails, but it's a hike from the campground and our pup was tired out just walking to the park. Plenty of parking, though traffic can get heavy entering if arriving when the nearby dump opens.

Great place to take your dogs for running. They discourage ball tossing as it can make the dogs aggressive. Asphalt walking path which I'm not crazy about. Actually, I like it more rustic. This has been such a dry summer, be prepared for alot of dust and dirt.

Amazing dog park. The fenced in area is perfect for all dogs. Paved trails and some that are sandy. My dog who's only 5 months old got to meet so many new puppers. All the visitors were friendly and they helped clean up others people's dog mess. Super fun place for my dog. He was tuckered out before we left.

I love coming here with my two dogs. The paved trail around the perimeter is so helpful. I love being able to walk my dogs off leash. I wish it was more groomed though, there are a lot of stickers , but I try to keep my dogs as close to the path as possible. They still get to greet people and other dogs and chase. They should consider putting some mulch in maybe. The small dog area is quite large.
