Whilst I do like the park in it's entirety, the best part of Jamesville Beach Park is it's huge dog park. One thing I noticed about this park is that dogs are in general better trained here-- and that is because they have to be. This park is not fenced in like other dog parks. Instead, it is a huge open set of areas, including a path through the trees. You need to ensure your pup has good recall, likes to stay around you, or you'll need to make sure they are on a leash. I have only had a few hiccups here is with people not being the best trained. One person, without a dog, was just giving treats to all dogs that came up to them which was a bit frustrating and a bad behavior to teach. Also, people are terrible about picking up poop. You'll find dog poop and bags of dog poop everywhere--some of this I will blame on the park as its huge and there are only 2 places to put it. However. Its a huge place for my dog to run and he enjoys it-- and so do we, and as a bonus, he sleeps the rest of the day. read more

Jamesville Beach - My dog after a trip to the dog park - Boating Near Me - Jamesville, New York

The dog park at Jamesville Beach is a special place for me and my dog! We have been taking her there consistently since she was a puppy and it was an excellent way to get her used to other dogs from day one. She has built a lot of independence there and she knows our walking route by heart. It's beautiful, well maintained, the trails offer a variety of difficulty, and there are several swimming spots for the dogs. It's a great place to take a nice walk after work to help yourself and your dog unwind. read more

Me and my family got our first puppy and we just started talking here there and doing the off leash on the trail and 10 out of 10 recommended for dogs that need or can handle socializing and other dog not all part of the trail a disability friendly but a good portion of it is witch is good and there is a river so you're dogs can run and swim in it so you get nature on one side than water on the other side read more

Since it's a smaller beach it tends to get crowded, but it's not so bad. Lifeguards are attentive.

I've lived so close to hear for years but had no clue how amazing this place is! We came off season but the park was beautiful. My daughter loved the playground and chasing seagulls on the beach. There's lots of picnic tables and grill areas. We can't wait to come back in the summer and utilize all of the amenities to their fullest. Great place! read more

This is our favorite park to bring our dog! They have a large off-leash dog area with a large field and paths that lead to swimming areas. My dog has a blast and always leaves happy and tired! read more

I prefer this dog run over the wegmans dog park in liverpool. I think some of the poor rating is due to this park not being fenced. However, if you have a well trained dog good at recall, this place is quite nice. It reminds me oft this open dog run just outside of boston that my dog and i used to go to. This is a very spacious dig run with access to water. Depending on when you come, the trail can get muddy. The main trail on the field is paved. The people here are friendly and helpful! What's great is you and your dog can both get a great exercise. There are even benches to sit at. No poop bag available, they do have poop bags at the entrance if the park in parking area. To find the off leashed area, when you are at the ticket booth, make a left, the parking area for the off leashed park is. Graveled parking lot to the right. read more

This is the review for the beach/park. It's $7 for parking. I didn't see any dogs here inside the park itself though the reviews here say it's a dog park. I did see one off-leashed dog playing with a frisbee around the entrance of the park by the main road. Perhaps I didn't go to the same side. There are lots of picnic areas. There were three lifeguards on duty at the beach area (2 on the shore and 1 in the water on a kayak by the floating dock). The beach area is sectioned off by buoys so that you can only swim in a small defined area. It's great for kids. They have a floating dock you're allowed to jump off of (but not dive). The sand is very fine. They have boat and kayak rentals that close at 5:30PM. The park itself is open until 8:30PM. There is plenty of parking and there's a playground for kids. I saw volleyball nets and frisbee tins (? is that what they are called). The water isn't too cold. The hot air balloon event takes place here. There were lots of small bugs/gnats by the grass area but they weren't too bothersome. I saw folks bring their hookahs here for their picnic. read more

Best Dog Park!! Great open off leash dog area with hiking trails that go down by the creek so the pups can swim! Love the freedom it gives them and the large area to run and play! And there are always other people and dogs there so it's great for playtime and socialization! We used to go multiple times every week, and since moving out of state we have yet to find anything like it...we miss it and all the fur friends that we made there like crazy!! read more

Went with my dog and had so much fun. Military discount for entrance fee was great! Very nice dogs that were off leash and would go back.

Nice, clean beach area with lifeguards. Great for young family members and tweens. Some grills and usually a Vendor on weekends which can be a plus. The dog park located at Lot #1 is a very nice non fenced in large area with trails and limited seating to watch your dog(s) play and get their energy out. We visit offend and Lilly loves it there. A must go if your dog is trained to be off a leash and can play well with other dogs. read more
