The only issue is that some people show up with dogs who are not socialized and are aggressive and they do nothing when their dog is attacking others. I'm not sure how often they go, but some other dog owners mentioned that it has gotten worse. If you get there and it's empty take advantage of it. The best days are the sunny days when it's early morning or evening!

When our friend told us he had to go to California for a week and needed someone to watch his dog,…read morewe decided this would be the optimal opportunity to "test drive" being doggy daddies. After spending a couple of days at home with our little visitor, Scout, we knew we needed to get him out to run and play so we took a visit to the Danbury Dog Park. This park has a lot of space and has two fenced in areas; about 0.8 acres for small dogs 20 lbs or less and a larger 1.1 acre space for bigger dogs. There is water available as well as bags to clean up after your dog. Each play area is double gated so you can safely take your pooch in and out. We went to the big dog area and the dogs who were playing immediately came to the fence to sniff the new guy. We let Scout sniff through the fence for a couple of minutes to get acclimated and then took him in. The dogs (and owners) were all friendly and well behaved. We went to the back area of the park because Scout loves to chase tennis balls and we didn't want to distract the other dogs up front. There was plenty for him to run and chase the balls without bugging the other dogs. We'll definitely be back before we have to return him but we have a feeling he will have good memories of his time at the Danbury Dog Park.

Although I use this park for flying my drone and scenic photography, this park has it all. It's a…read morequiet park on the shore of the Hudson River overlooking Bannerman's Island, Breakneck Ridge, and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. This is a very safe park which is frequently patrolled by the village police. As far as droning, this is one of the best spots I've ever flown out of. It's legal per the village codes, so long as you're not flying in a manner that would alarm other park-goers. Fly respectfully. With high-end drones, you can fly over Bannerman's and Breakneck to achieve great pictures. Dogs often bring their owners here for a walk or run in the large, open field bordering the river. Some dogs even bring their owners in for a swim in the shallow water. I believe there is a leash law, but not really enforced if you're playing a harmless game of fetch together. The park features a large, white gazebo, which lights up at nighttime and is frequently used for weddings. There are plenty of charcoal grills and picnic tables. All summer long, couples or families can be seen here picnicking or BBQing. Many people tend to lay out in the sun and sunbathe, while others relax in the shade under the large trees. The people who use this park are very friendly. People will almost definitely approach you and strike up a conversation (as with any park, some of the people are lonely and they can try keeping you talking for hours), but they're often respectful of your space and you can sit quietly by yourself. There is also a boat dock, which requires a permit from Village Hall. The boat ramp is a cement slab with a small dock (staging area only). There is no room to dock here to enjoy the park or to stay overnight. This is only for use with the ramp. The ramp isn't in the greatest of conditions - oddly, poverty-stricken Newburgh's ramp is much better than Donahue Park's. There are only a few parking spots in the back end of the park for vehicles with boat trailers. Vehicle parking is aplenty, but beware -- this is paid parking. Either you must have a parking permit (from Village Hall), or you can use a cell phone app called ParkMobile to pay $5.45 for the day. This is all electronic - once you pay, your vehicle info shows on the police car computers and they know not to write you a parking ticket. There is also a porta-potty located at the far end of the park, which is removed during the winter months. Beware of the Cornwall Yacht Club located behind the village porta-potty. The snooty members drive like maniacs through the park, tending to blow their horns at people who are walking or moving too slow within the park. Unfortunately, the park is their only access to their little clubhouse. Their rowdy behavior sometimes takes away from the peacefulness of the park, but fortunately, it's only for 4 or 5 months out of the year.

This is a village park which contains a big field with some hills and gravel that does a big circular loop around the main building. The nice part about it is there are a lot of trees to provide shade. There are also benches that are provided throughout the park along with trash cans. It's a great place to go to if you need a day's rest or finding new places to enjoy nature. There is also a museum that contains the history of the two Dutchmen who settled here during the 18th century. Due to COVID, it is currently closed.

Since the property is big, there are also trails to explore, which are very scenic in the woods for the most part, and a nice view of the pond called Furnace Pond. This section is very enjoyable and a pleasure to look at. Definitely got to check out the other trails. Worth the visit in the 845 and Hudson Valley, trust me.
