Waterman St. Dog Park

This dog park is outstanding and easily one of the best you will find anywhere in the state. The large dog area is truly massive, giving dogs plenty of space to run freely and play without feeling crowded. There is a trail-style layout for owners to walk, plus wooded sections that dogs love to explore. The terrain has natural elevation changes from the entrance to the far end, which keeps things interesting and gives energetic dogs a great workout. Multiple benches are placed throughout the park so owners can relax, and there are shaded areas that make warm days more comfortable. Small walls and structures provide fun obstacles for dogs to jump on and off. The park is well maintained and offers poop collection bags and trash cans, which helps keep everything clean. There is also water access for dogs to drink, which is a huge plus. One of the unique highlights is the beautiful dog sculpture named Reggie, which adds charm and character to the park. The trails are covered with mulch, though boots are recommended on wet days as the ground can get soft. The people who visit are friendly and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Parking is available on the same street as the park with sidewalk access to the park so no walking on the road is necessary. If you are looking for a spacious, scenic, and thoughtfully designed dog park, this place is hard to beat.

Nice combination of woods and open area with enough trails to keep them running. So far everyone and all dogs have been friendly and well behaved. A welcome spot to get my French Brittany we’ll exercised.

Great woodsy, safe, central dog park with fun dogs and their friendly parents!

Wonderful and well-cared-for canine oasis at the river's edge on the East Side of Providence. Mulch filled paths to walk and a field to run in and play fetch. Poopy bags available. Private small dog area.

LARGE space for a city park. Interesting design for a dog park. It's mostly overgrown and wooded with trails through the space and several clearing where chairs have been set. It may be difficult for people to pick up their dogs' poop if the dog goes out of cleared sections. Large areas seem to have been taken over by weed trees/bushes. Definitely needs to be trimmed back. Water, bags, and trash are only at the entrance. Separate section for small dogs, but that section is nowhere near the size of the main section.
