Was unable to go into the park, even without the dog, because the gates are key-fob locked. Pictures are from over the fence. Peastone ground cover, trash, and bags. I couldn't see water fountains... pathway has bollard lights. I believe that dog parks should be available for public use, not restricted, and I'm always disappointed when we can't visit a park because of pay-to-use restrictions.

Public city park, BUT, you need to buy a key fob at city clerks office. They ensure dogs are licensed and rabies vax. NO KIDS. 18 + only. Lots of big dogs running and playing hard is no place for little kids. I don't want to watch your kids and don't want liability if they get nipped, hurt, or trampled because you weren't watching them. City doesn't want liability either. They have playgrounds for kids...THIS AIN'T IT. Peastone keeps everything water and mud free. Irrigation system comes on every evening to wash down any urine smell and keeps the dust down. Well thought out system. Two large separated yards in case you have a tiny dog or someone needs a time-out. Most of the tiny dogs run with the big dogs without a problem. Owners are mostly attentive to goings-on and mind their dogs behavior to avoid problems. The dogs figure out the rest! Great place to socialize your mutt. Seasonal park events at Halloween, Christmas, open house days, summer water parties etc. Best money I've ever spent on my dog. We go every single day. Great place for you and your dog. You want to bring kids, smoke cigarettes, deal with a muddy mess.....go to the other local dog park where no rules apply, and it shows.

You have to be a member. You sign up at city hall. The dog members are well behaved, and their owners are friendly and pay attention to their dogs' behavior. No children are allowed for safety reasons.

Beautifully designed and big. I like the two gated sections between “smaller” dogs and “all dogs.” The one downside is that the access gate from the larger play area into the smaller lot was pad locked - being able to switch lots quickly and from inside would have helped to avoid two dogs that came in charging fast and aggressively at my two dogs.

Great park designed with crushed stone base and sprinkler system to keep it clean. Large and small dog areas, members only access with key fob. Annual membership available at New Bedford town clerks office for minimal fee. Proof of Spay/Nueter and current vaccinations required. Happy 🐕!
