Hamden Dog Park

Good sized park with separate sections for large and small dogs. Ground cover is mostly dirt with some gravel near the entrance. This is one of the older parks (opened in 2002!), but it's been well kept (although the tree branches need some care after this past winter). "Poop bags" are plastic shopping bags donated by park goers and there is trash. Water spigots for water bowls are set up for non-freezing months. My puppy got done good wrestling in here, although there was a bit of a tiff between a few other dogs - the owners responded appropriately.

Lots of space for the pups to run around, lots of tree so great for shade in the summer and lots of sticks for the pups to play with! Great variety of dogs. Owners are super friendly and personable. Love that no matter what time of day or day of the week you go, there's always someone there. And if not, wait 10 minutes someone will show up!

One of the best dog parks anywhere! Lots of room. Lots of shade. Lots of places for humans to relax. Great dogs and people seem to be there most of the time.

In my opinion the best dog park in the greater New Haven area. Last week was the first time bringing my boy there and right off the bat it's obvious the people involved in developing and maintaining this park are passionate about their dogs and providing a safe space for them to play. The park was clean and provides everything needed for a great time. This is our new favorite dog park.

One of Casper's favorite spots. It's really a nice community for the humans too. I always try to help keep the place clean, but very often someone has beat me to it. We even come during rain storms because it has great drainage and it doesn't turn into a mud pit.
