My dog really like this park. The people and dogs were friendly towards us. It is clean, with plenty of benches to sit while you pet 🐕 enjoy themselves. I have been to parks where I notice I had to keep and eye on him so he doesn't try to get out the area through a hole in the fence. There's nothing to worry about here, brand new and looks like it.

Nice and clean but small compared to the size of the park. It could have been a little bigger. Also, there are no trees to shade the benches for the dog owners to sit on. The water fountain on the small dog side was either not working or not turned on. Although there's a park entrance near the dog park you have to drive a long ways to get to exit the park because it's one way traffic on the road near the dog park. I think the fencing should be taller like at Brookdale's Dog Park. All in all I'm happy Newark has a dog park.

Excellent place to take your dog!! Nice friendly place for your baby to get exercise an become getting used to being with other dogs.. safe an secured place to be for you an your pet. I was there again today, ,,,,it's a great outing for your dog..But sometimes some people bring bigger dogs in the small dog part,,, and I don't like that,, cause the smaller dogs be afraid!! Well I know my pomeranian do..They need to enforce the rules.

It's a nice dog park most the people are great and most of the dogs are well behaved. Some of the dog obstacles are broken and the fountain in the big dog side does not work
