Newport Dog Park

A lot of room to run, doggy bags, plus a hose/slicker with a water bowl to fill up. The area is all mulch/dirt, so may want to avoid when it rains. But overall very nice area. Everybody was mindful of their dogs. They have a small dog area as well. Overall, IMO much better than the Fort Thomas dog park which is just a huge hill.

Our first experience with our newly adopted Belle. She had not been socialized with her previous owner, but cautiously explored the space with us there. We limited her first visit to 20 minutes to see how she would react....we will definitely return and I believe she will enjoy it with more freedom next visit....

More than a few owners come here with aggressive dogs and have no control over them. There is no system to see if dogs are registered or have vaccinations. My dog got attacked and the other owner seemed happy about it. He wasn't happy when I stopped his dog, but instead of doing what's right every single person in the park started leaving so the patrons without aggressive dogs are just as bad. Before that there was an intact male trying to get at every female and the owner couldn't care less. I wish I never tried this park out.

Wow what an amazing dog park. I’ve never gone to a busier park and I travel all over. Between 5-8 there’s always at least a dozen dogs. Normally way more! It’s big. Well taken care of. You can bring drinks. The small and big dog have the same toys and decorations. Good water. Lots of poo bags.

UPDATE 3/9/2026: the volunteers who support this park did a great job of putting down new mulch that has vastly improved the safety of the park for our pups. Thank you!! UPDATE 8/4/2025: This park is in disrepair recently. They haven't delivered any new mulch or done anything to regrade the surface and there are a ton of jagged rocks embedded in the dirt everywhere. Our dog has now broken a nail and torn two of her paw pads over the course of the last three weeks. We will not be back until they do some desperately needed maintenance. Great little park, convenient and mostly well behaved pups in our experience. My only complaint is people who consistently don't clean up after their pets. Particularly with the new mulch bedding, it is hard to see, and I leave with crap on my shoes more often than not. If they poop it, scoop it! The bags are free!
