Plymouth Pillars Dog Park

I love this park because Millie, my dog, loves this park. I would give 5 stars but I have one complaint. The water being shut off! Why? The first time I went was somewhat warm and very sunny. There was no water for any of the dogs. I had to take a special trip to Starbucks to get water for all of the dogs. I don't get it. Anyway, great dogs with their people. Millie has a great time!!

Only gave it three stars because they need to fix the dog water station. Wasn't working and looked gnarly. Other than that, plenty friendly dogs.

Went near at Plymouth Pillars Dog Park. Was driving near by so I took this picture and it is absolutely stunning 😍! Great place for your pets and a great place to get some alone time aka self care kind of thing. Also, outstanding customer service!!! Highly recommended!!! Love love love it 😍!!

My dog has a great time here. The park is fenced with east and west entry gates using quarantine style entries so leashing can happen away from other dogs to prevent power struggles due to one dog becoming restrained. There is also trees to provide shade near each entrance, a water fountain near the east entrance and the south side of the park has a raised ledge so people can place things out of reach (of most dogs) or have a seat. The biggest problem is the ground, and it is a big problem. The city has chosen a pebble pit as the ground of this park as mowing and grass is too much costs. This means on hot days any space outside of the shade is hot pebbles scorching our dog's paws. If the dogs eun around too much their pads can take some serious damage. Many dogs find walking in these pebbles awkward, and will disengage from playing. The other problem, and this is more a personal bias, is the benches just outside the park on the southern boundary. These are comfy benches that are usually occupied by local homeless persons that are aggressive, mentally ill or physically ill. They find comfort and entertainment in watching the dogs play, but listening to a guy hack, cough and spit for the duration of the dog's playtime sucks. Same with being threatened by people that are fighting with imaginary friends, and think you're one of them.

Great little park! Be aware that overnight people will open the gates and leave them open, if you're one of the first to show up make sure all the gates are closed! The space is mainly filled with pebbles and dirt, when it rains a lot it can get muddy, but when dry it is a great place! The pebbles also help keep waste from getting stuck to the ground as it does in other parks! The dogs that come are extremely friendly as well as the owners. Have fun!!!
