Middlebury Dog Park

HUGE park, well grassed. No shade to speak of, though. Separate sections for large and small dogs. GREAT view, but the open space possibly also leads to chilling winds in the winter. Bags and trash available -- and the water is supplied from a rain-collection bucket!

Nice location, large areas for dogs to run - one larger and the other smaller for smaller dogs. Went in the summer and there was a little building that gave some shade and some chairs. A volunteer came by and brought fresh water while we were there. Very clean. Would definitely go again.

Bleu (5 mths) and I stopped in around 8:45am. This was Bleu's first time at a dog park. I was not sure what to expect. There we're around 7 or 8 other dogs in the big play area and none in the smaller pen, which shares a fence between them. So, I decided to let Bleu into the smaller pen where he and the other dogs could smell and interact a little between the fence. I wanted to see he reacted being this was his first visit to a dog park. If he had shown any signs of aggressive behavior, then I could choose to just keep him in that pen separated from the crowd. He showed positive behavior towards the other dogs and vice versa. A very nice man came up with his dog and suggested that I let Bleu in to play. This made me feel a lot more confident and comfortable about letting Bleu into play. All the other dog parents were extremely nice and friendly. I definitely suggested going to this park. There's TONS OF TENNIS BALLS, very few other toys, and PLENTY OF CHAIRS for us puppy parents to sit in. I suggested BRINGING YOUR DOG A BOTTLE OF WATER. THERE ARE lots of DOG BOWLS TO USE. I haven't seen any sorce of water. But I've noticed some bowls with water in them and assume it was left by the morning crowd.

Though some visitors have not picked up after their pups, it is a pretty decent little park! I would consider bringing my dog there again.

Always someone there for socializing and letting dogs run and have fun! Clean and well kept by volunteers who care and are friendly to neighbors and visitors. We just need a tree or two for summer shade.
