Matthewstown Harmans Dog Park

Great park. Usually the best times to get there are 4-6 on weekdays, that’s when most dogs are there. This park has a water supply and bowls. Only thing that’s bad is there isn’t any shade unless you go later in the day, then there is a small patch of shade from the tree line. All dogs that go here are well behaved.

At the dog park specifically there are 3 large fenced areas with water spigot, bowls, and trash cans. One area is for small dogs. Everything is in good shape. Parking is always available.

Okay park to let your furry friend get a few sprints in. Enclosed area is mostly some times is grassy and as of this posting pretty muddy. My wife prefers now to just walk the park trails as she encountered a gentleman with 2 dogs one being a beagle. She said he is always monitoring everyone’s else’s pets, dictating rules, socially awkward and being extremely cocky with remarks. I haven’t encountered him but would enjoy giving him a good lesson on the rules, regulations, municipal codes and laws that govern public spaces and dog parks. No one likes a bully, especially one who thinks the dog park is exclusively theirs, “Sounds like school yard, b/s and childish”. I definitely will be speaking to local officials about possibly having video monitors installed especially at the dog enclosure, people tend to act very differently when being recorded.

Grassed area surrounded by a fence. Dogs can run in it. They are happy and not negatively impacted. 5/5 would dog again.

This dog park has 3 different fenced in areas, one for small dogs and 2 for large dogs. They have poop bags, trash cans and water bowls with a working water spout. The only thing missing when we were there were the dogs lol my dog was so excited to play with other dogs but none showed up while we were there. Seems like this place is rarely busy.
