Newark Street Dog Park

I don't know why they have gravel instead of grass. The concrete sidewalks leading up to it were cool enough to not burn my dog's feet (the temps was in the 70s), so I thought the gravel would be the same temperature. So my dog and I stepped into the park and she was acting like her feet hurt. I put my hand down onto the gravel to feel it and it was too hot for my dog's feet! I was already apprehensive about the gravel being rough and sharp, but in addition it gets hotter than the sidewalks! No wonder there were no other dogs there! Please replace the gravel with grass!
In addition, I then took my dog for a walk along 39th St. and when I came back to the dog park area and where my car was parked, I saw 2 very shady and thug looking young men go up to the park and jumped over the fence and were looking around. It appears that they were up to no good. Thank goodness my car was close by so I got in quickly and my husband and I quickly drove away. So safety is a concern too.

Huge but can you believe it that there is no working water station for dogs?! Unbelievable, they have 2 or 3 tab water stations and non of them wirk for a long time.

Great dog park! I take my dog here all the time during the MORNING and EVENING. Although, I have had my dog mildly attacked by irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs to bark excessively (5 or more times in a row) and nip at other dogs to “play” during the mid day. But overall I have had good experience here.

This is a nice little dog park with separate small/large dog areas. There is a small gazebo with lighting and several benches for seating. Solar motion-activated lights help visibility at night. There's also a water fountain and hose for filling drinking bowls if you have a thirsty pup.

Great park with lots of area and lots of great owners to meet and chat with. They have water for the dogs. It’s a gravel park. I go often with dogs I watch for neighbors and I’ve never had a bad experience there. They even have lights for when the sun starts setting earlier.

The dogs and I went there during the week, and it was empty. Nice setting, but no dog play equipment, almost nowhere for humans to sit, and all gravel surface which can’t feel great on the dogs paws made it a less desirable visit than I had hoped.

Super fun playground with interesting installations! Dog park and gardens nearby as well!
