So far, we have only been here twice, Labor Day 2023 and 2024 after moving to MA in 2023. We wish we didn't live 40 minutes away by car. We would be here much more often! Since our only times here have been on probably the busiest day of the year, please take that into consideration with my review. The not so great: Parking is a bit tight, but not impossible if you got a bit of patience. There are no public restrooms, this year (2024) there didn't seem to be any bins for dog poop or trash, there is only one water station at the front. The good: With the exception of one family not checking their dog's resource guarding, every other dog we saw was so well behaved with responsible owners. Between the beach, the walking path, and the hill, there's so much opportunity to run out your pup! While we were a bit bummed that high tide took away the ability to walk the entirety of the peninsula on the beach, the water was clearer than it is during low tide, so we'd definitely recommend a high tide visit. After a little over an hour there, our German Shepherds were completely wiped out and even after the 40-minute ride home where they napped, they were still conked until dinner time. read more

Best dog park ever! And with a tiny beach where dogs are allowed all time! My pup loves this place! The water looks dirty, but he doesn't mind and had a great swim. The hills and greens on the island is huge and there are so many dogs on the weekend! My dog had a blast playing with other dogs and running up and down hills chasing balls! Best play to tire out a dog while give him a good time! read more

The perfect paradise for dogs! Beaches and lawns and woods and plenty of space to run around!

We LOVE this dog park!! I come about once a month and my dog has the time of his life everytime. It's a peninsula, so I don't have to worry that he's going to run away or get too far since he plays off leash. This place is great because they have grass, hills, trees, and swimming-- really a little bit of everything. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Stodder's Neck - Parks Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Wowser!! I pulled in here yesterday to get outside and get some exercise and I ended up in doggie heaven!! Since my beloved dog passed away a few years ago I have a hard time being around other dogs but she would of loved it here! What an incredibly beautiful place to bring your pooch! Tons of dogs. Big and small. Old and young. I wanted to play with them all. There's a big hill to run up and down and enough trash bins so don't forget to pick up your dogs #2. A couple benches and a few picnic tables (but only like 2) but the scenery is gorgeous. The only thing I would maybe complain about is the parking. It was packed on a Saturday in January so I can't imagine what it's like in July. Still, a must see for your dog and all dog lovers. read more

I'm obsessed. So are my dogs. They MAKE me bring them here twice a day. So I've been going for just over a year now and here's what I've learned: 1. The weekday morning crowd is regular and quite well versed with their own dogs behaviors so if you're going for the first time I'd advise you to go during this time. It's never crowded at this time. If your dog likes to party there are some fantastic dog walkers who bring the ruckus, but it's big enough for walks in solitude as well. 2. Weekends are chaotic. Lots of dogs and first timers and it gets a little wild. If your dog is bulletproof with other dogs, people, kids, babies then go for it. But you'll never catch me there after 11 am. It's just too much. Later in the day after 4 pm tends to be calm as well. 3. It does have a water station that is currently turned off. If this is due to covid/seasonality/just not having the right tool to turn it on, I don't know. Some stodders angels bring gallons of water and leave it there for all but it's best to rely on yourself to bring your own water. 4. If you bring a kid, please make sure the little one is well versed in how to approach dogs. Just because they live with one dog doesn't mean they're a pro. This is a dog park. That means when a dog arrives to stodders it's like disney, Times Square, your birthday, holiday of choice, all rolled into one. They run in packs. They can and will topple your baby. Maybe I am emphasizing this because the other day I saw a mom and dad take their baby out of the stroller and put it in the middle of the path. Don't. Do. That. I had a wall of dogs behind me and the "not like regular parents, we're cool parents" ignored them. 5. The park is beautiful as is. It does not need litter. Currently there is one dumpster as you enter the park and that's it. Why? DCR took away trash cans because of covid and though other parks (I'm looking at you castle island) got theirs back, DCR tends to drag its feet when it comes to stodders. 6. There is no proper shutting gate. There is a fence with a zig zag kind of entrance. There is a stone wall with a pass in it. Dogs do get out occasionally and sometimes there is a bad end. It's rare but it can happen. Please drive carefully in the lot because not all people leash their dogs in the lot (I know, I know!) 7. Lots and lots of space. I am a loving helicopter parent to my dogs so I follow them around but if your dog has recall why not let them roam a bit after first walking around together? There's interesting trails (check out the Christmas tree trail!) and lots to sniff. The main part of the park is a wide dirt road with lots of little places to dip into for shade/breaks. Outside of that is the beach which is so much fun. Lots of little trails to get down there some are more dangerous (to humans) than others but DCR said they were going to make them safer (circa 2019!) Your best bet is to look for a wide opening to the beach. 8. Just enjoy it! You're among dogs and their people! All in all it's a very unique space to this area (probably the country actually) and it's well worth reading up on, enjoying, and protecting. read more

Amazing place to bring your dog. Most dog parks are just gravel pits, not this one! Lots of space, with plenty of grass and landscaping, beautifully surrounded by the harbor on three sides for those pups who love a good swim! Pet owners are respectful and the pups are well behaved, great place to socialize for pets and humans alike. Not a good place to bring your dog if it has aggression issues since most dogs are off leash, but I haven't seen a dog fight ever there. read more

This is a fabulously fun dog park managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Set on several beautiful acres on the Back River you and your canine pal will have a great time with the many other dogs that are here on any given day. We don't get here nearly as often as we used to. Our 15 year old Husky is now like an amiably eccentric but still most beloved family member who looks on at all the ruckus with bemusement but with little energy or interest in joining in any longer. We sometimes just bring him here for a change of scenery from our yard and because he seems to enjoy watching his younger companions cavort as he lolls contentedly on the sidelines maybe daydreaming about " the good old days." These recent very warm March days have been perfect for outings. When our dog was younger there was a time he had more energy than we could possibly match no matter how much we walked or ran with him, so time spent here off leash would do the trick. He'd come home tuckered out and content. Like most Siberian Huskies, our dog prefers not to get wet so the Back River was never a lure to him. But for loads of other dogs the availability of a swim or a game of fetch in the water is another great reason for a visit. If you have a sociable, non-aggressive dog that will follow your commands, this is one of the best spots to visit for some fantastic off-leash playtime. Just be sure to bring drinking water and a water bowl, towels for your dog if he gets muddy or wet and waste bags to pick up what Fido leaves behind. If you don't have a dog but wish you did, this is still a great place to visit to watch lots of great animals having fun in a lovely setting. You can get some exercise too walking the harborside loops. read more

This place is a *jewel* of a dog park. Found it on Yelp!, went to check it out, and am so glad we did. Smaller than Bare Cove, but so darn pretty. Ocean views, clean sea water, green hills, rocky shoreline, benches, friendly people and dogs off-leash ... just terrific. Definitely going back. read more

Dog paradise. Bring a water bottle so you can fill it up for your pup, also bring a couple poop as they seem to always be out. But if the one negative thing you have to say about a place is they run out of poop bags then I think your in good shape. As for the place itself it had it all, trails for the dogs to run through, water so if they swim they can. They have one water station right when you walk in to the right so make sure you fill up your water bottle as if you go in the back of the park you wont be able to fill up. The place is amazing read more

This park is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, with a very sturdy stone wall at the entrance. It is a haven for dogs. Everyone let's them run wild, off leash. I even let my dog off leash here even though my wife gets anxious and upset. She lives her life in a state of constant fear. read more

I went there before it was known as a dog park. I will not go back. Too many people who don't pick up after their dogs and too many people who have no control over their dogs . I have always had a dog but won't go back. If you have a mean dog, it needs to be on a leash. I've heard so many times, oh, my dog has never done that before. I saw a dog jump on an elderly lady and knock her down. I have seen numerous dog fights. Sorry, pit bulls are all not bad but if you have no control , the dog needs to be leashed. read more

Stodder's Neck - Penny at the Neck - Parks Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

This park is amazing and such a happy place. It totally is a dog heaven for dogs and dog lovers.The area is huge with a mixture of open field, woody area, small hills with a nice view, and a long beach for walking and dog swimming.All the dogs and owners I've met so far are friendly. To cap it all, parking is free and ample. A Petco Unleashed is only 5 mins drive away and offers a great deal for self-wash. Perfect to get Fido cleaned after his time in the park. read more

I am writing this review from the perspective of a Long time boat owner in the Weymouth Back River. Non stop dog barking. Sound travels far over water, but it goes on and on and on all day long. If your dog barks nonstop for and hour, you are self centered and inconsiderate of others period! On busy days I have seen packs of twenty dogs roaming and terrorizing people and pets. I get it. You lock your dog up all day. Dogs needs to run. Ill leave the dog poo rant for another day read more

Remember this past weekend when it was like 1000 degrees on Saturday? Remember that feeling of not being able to cool down? You know what else was fun, body parts sticking to other body parts. Whine. Whimper. Pant. Think it's bad for people, try being a good sized, long haired, black dog on a day like that. What to do for the poor dog on a day like that, keep him in an air conditioned house? Sure, if it's air conditioned and mine ain't Soooooo take him come place cool. Like where a shopping mall? Orange Julius? Pottery Barn? Home Depot? Get the picture, DOGS NEED NOT APPLY. Oh, right, take him to a beach. Good luck, NO DOGS ALLOWED MAY-SEP. What to do? Research. Consult the internets. Explore. Discover Stodder's Neck in Hingham. This is about 25-30 minutes south of Boston, not too far past Quincy. Plenty of stops on the way if you are traveling down 3A and there is plenty to see. Old Navy yards. Crazy bridges. Decrepit shopping plazas. Sketchy porn shacks. Decrepit South Shore shoppers at said plazas and shacks. And then you find the park. Small little jetty sticking out into a little part of the harbor. Off the beaten path. Dogs and dogophiles only. That distinct smell of dog poop in the air. I remember that smell from childhood before it was 'cool' and 'the law' to pick up after dogs. it's not like the place is a mine field of poo, but the trash barrels are near the entrance so you do get that odor on arrival, sort of an X marks the spot. The place has a big herding gate at the parking lot to keep the pooches in the park - awesome. Once you get in it is, well, a park. A little reclaimed bit of paradise with shade trees, birds, wild flowers and lots of rocky beaches more fit for dogs than people. Dogs everywhere, dogs, dogs, dogs. You can swim here too, the water is fine just where some water shoes or keep your flip flops on. No broken glass or medical waster ashore, I promise. Fido will thank you for throwing the ball for him all afternoon into the calm, clean, cool waters. And, pssssssst you didn't here it here but if you were to bring a contraband beverage into the park and if you were sneaky about it you might get away with it (no rangers in sight the whole time we were there at least). read more

This is coolest dog park I have ever hit up before. Its pretty much everything you could ask for in a dog park. Its large enough to actually go for a walk. The loop is about a mile long gravel path plenty wide for multiple people and dogs to pass in both directions. There are little side paths that go down to beaches. There is a wooded hill in the center. At the entrance there is a very large grassy field where the main doggie play action seems to happen. The beaches are not pristine sandy beaches for people, but sort of gravelly with some sand and stuff that drifted in from the harbor. In some spots the beach is very wide so the dogs can run around like crazy. The water itself starts out pretty shallow and seems to stay that way for at least 10 feet out or so and then gets deeper. So you need to toss the ball or stick out there if you want to get your dog to really go for a good swim. The hill in the middle of the loop is mostly wooded with narrower trails that lead up it from the sides. From the main entrance of the park its a pretty wide open grassy trail that leads up to the top. The view from the top is not very impressive, but it does make a for a good uphill run to get your dogs extra tired. There is also a smaller grassy field on the top for an additional play area. for swimming and a wooded hill on the inside of it for exploring or of course you can just stick on the loop trail. There are also benches for taking a break and picnic tables if you wanted to stay a little longer. The people and dogs were both very friendly and fun. I talked to a number of people while there who all were just as excited about how awesome this place was as I was. All the dogs were super playful and well behaved which was a huge plus. I also liked that the place was well maintained and very clean. There were trash cans placed around the park and there were also stations with poop bags too. So you didn't have to worry about forgetting yours or having to carry around a full one and bring it home to throw out. All in all this place is everything I could want in a dog park. The only downside is that its about 45 minutes south of Boston with traffic and even longer if you get stuck at one of the lift bridges like I did. Definitely worth the drive though. My dogs and I will certainly become regulars here. read more

Not my favorite park. Stodder's Neck is pretty small - there aren't many trails or places to explore, it's pretty much a peninsula based around one big hill. This is the place where all the locals bring their dogs and let them run amuck. If you aren't a dog person, do not go here. Plus, as much as many dog owners try to clean up after their pooches, there is dog poop everywhere! Not exactly a place to bring the little ones if you're looking for somewhere to bring the kids. My family's veterinarian actually told us to avoid this park because of the number of dogs and the risk of exposing our puppies to parvovirus or something else that could be bad for them to pick up. We always take them across the street over to Bare Cove - tons of woods, trails, and neat places to explore. Much nicer, and there is more room for the dogs to run uninterrupted. read more

How can a dog park that looks like a cartoonish "thumbs up" get anything less than five stars? There isn't a pooch out there that'll be left bored at the Neck: direct water access along the rocky beach of Weymouth Back River for swimmers and escape artists, wide wooded pathways for explorers and sniffers, vastly steep hillsides for sprinters and chasers, and endless numbers of like-minded mutts for socializers and hind-sniffers. If nothing else, the wrought iron gate that marks the entrance bears a tell-tale sign of the park's popularity among pooches: the distinct and pungent odor of a million markings through the years. This one's worth seeking out, even on the most brisk of chilly days. read more

It's no surprise that people drive from Boston and beyond to take their dogs to this park! Located on a peninsula with several acres of land, this park has it all: a three-tiered water fountain for adults, kids, and dogs by the front gate; a perimeter wall to discourage dogs from sprinting into the parking lot; a large, flat area for running; a hill for climbing; woods for hiding; a beach for swimming; and many, many friends to play with! A dirt path winds around the peninsula, which gives us humans a chance to exercise as well. There are some areas that pool with water and become muddy, but if you were looking to stay clean you would have adopted a cat. There are signs that state that all dogs must be kept on a leash - everyone ignores these signs. Stodder's Neck is, by overwhelmingly popular demand, a "leash optional" park. There are no lampposts, which is fine because the park closes when the sun goes down anyway. There are a handful of trash cans around the park for waste. You may still come across the occasional "landmine" (abandoned dog poop), but that's to be expected in such a large and popular dog park. There are also benches and picnic tables strategically located around the park in case your dog has more energy than you do. The people who frequent Stodder's Neck are the friendliest and most compassionate dog owners I've ever met. Forgot your water jug in the car? Someone will have a gallon to share with your parched pooch. Your last plastic bag has a hole in the bottom? Someone will have an extra one. Stodder's Neck is a family-friendly dog park, thanks to the culture that has been cultivated by the regulars. I've never seen a child get hurt (nor have I ever heard of it happening), but most families with young children stay on the path so as not to interfere with dogs chasing each other. As with any dog park, be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty! read more

OMG dog heaven. There's places to swim (ocean), hills to run in, swamps to tread through, sticks to catch, other dogs to sniff, cesspool to swim in, and bowls of water out and about. This place is great for dogs and dog owners. It could be much better with overflow parking in the neighboring shopping centers and a place to hose down the poochies when leaving... but really its a great place to let your dog (even ones who like to run off) run around and play. Almost everyone who comes here knows dogs are going to be dogs, they'll play interact, jump, etc. Unlike some dog parks where dog owners are scared of their pups from interacting. Harper loves going here, hates the mandatory bath required afterwards. read more

I love Stodder's Neck! (Also sometimes called Stoddard's Neck) I've visited at least 10+ times. Here are my impressions: Pretty safe to take your dog off leash-- the park is surrounded on three sides by water and on the fourth by a short stone wall and fence with a small open gate. Your dog *could* get out and the entrance is not far from a busy road. If you feel this is a risk, you should not let your dog off-leash. Most people leash their dogs within 200 feet (or so) of the gate. If your dog is obedient, you will probably feel comfortable letting him/her off-leash. Dog bowls everywhere-- its a good idea to bring your own water since they are sometimes empty or have stale, dirty water in them. Bordatella (kennel cough) vaccinations probably recommended, speak w/your vet. Poop bags-- there are baggies mounted around the park and trash barrels that seem to be emptied regularly. For the most part, people seem to be pretty responsible about picking up for their pets there. I'm sure the park sees its fair share of lazy or negligent owners, but onsidering how many canine visitors this park sees I've been impressed. Topography & environment-- its hilly, there are a lot of small trails and cut-throughs, there are bigger rocks to climb and rocky beaches w/broken shells, there are a few benches (some broken) and picnic tables. The dogs really seem to have a lot of fun. Its not a very large park. Your could probably walk the the main path in as little as 8 minutes. But you could also take your time and explore all the off-shoots, or just hang out in the open spaces and watch the dogs play. Its a popular place-- all year-round, you're likely to see dogs of all breeds, dispositions, ages, etc. And owners of all kinds too! This could be a pro or a con, depending on who you are. For the most part, I've seen surprisingly happy and generally well-behaved animals as well as usually polite and friendly owners. Much busier on the weekends and warmer months. Precautions-- because its so high traffic, it is definitely wise to consider vaccinating your dog against all transmissable diseases. Also, it is hilly and open, so running around at-will could result in any kind of bodily injury; sprains, strains, bruises or broken bones. Finally, there is always potential for an altercation of any kind. It is everyone's right to choose consciously whether these are risks they are willing to take with their dog. Weather & accessibility-- this park is pretty exposed and near the shoreline. On a few occasions I have been shocked at how much colder and windier it will be than a few miles inland. It can be significantly colder, be prepared!! There aren't any real good directions and it might be particularly confusing to find if you're not from the area. Study the map before you go. And I've always been able to get a parking spot in the cramped, partially shaded lot but I can imagine on the busiest days you *might* have trouble doing so. Final impressions-- Its not a perfect park, but its one of the few off-leash options on the South Shore that is fairly safe with regards to cars, and definitely an interesting place for you and your dog to play. Only dog people come to this park so I never feel like we might be disturbing nature-lovers or people who are afraid of dogs. We really enjoy every visit to Stodder's. read more

This place is a veritable doggy HEAVEN. Or at least my dog thinks so! I live in southern New Hampshire, but I drive the hour and ten minutes down there about once or twice a month, because it's worth it! The place is big, grassy, full of trees and shade, has a nice walkway, and is bordered by ocean on three sides. There's lots of space to walk around and play, you don't have to stand all in one place and watch your dogs all go at it, like at most other smaller parks. I wish there was a park like this near me, I'd be there all the time. read more

Absolutely the best dog park I have ever found and probably ever would find. A great giant open space with tons and tons of room for owners and dogs alike to enjoy. Great benches and picnic tables. The best part is that it is surrounded by water, allowing your dog to romp and get their paws wet or go for a swim if they enjoy that. Hands down a must-do for any dog and dog owner. Other dog owners are respectful and friendly. I have never had a problem. Plenty of room so that the dogs don't crowd each other. read more

This place is great! I usually take my dogs here during the week. It's not an actual dog park, its not fenced in and the official rule is that you are supposed to keep your dog on a leash (signs posted) but very few people actually follow those guidelines. Parking can be an issue on the weekends when the weather is nice, but during the week parking is not an issue. There are large grassy areas for the dogs to run and play. Since this park is surrounded by water there is also an plenty of space for dogs to go swimming. Most of the dogs that go to the park are well behaved and monitored by their owners. My only beef with this place comes down to irresponsible owners. Most owners are wonderful and friendly, but there always seem to be a few that are too preoccupied with something other than their dog. It's important that everyone pitch in and clean up after their dog to keep the park a nice and healthy place. The only time I've ever had an issue with an aggressive dog was on a crowded Saturday with a dog that was clearly not socialized enough to be off leash and the dog's owner couldn't be bothered to get off her phone. Overall its a great place to visit if you have a dog. As others have said, make sure you bring your own water, baggies, and towels to dry off your pup! read more

Stodder's Neck is the perfect park for dogs! Let them run and bring your own water. Water bowls are supplied all over the park. There are beaches for the dogs to swim off, walking trails and a cool hill to climb in the middle. With only one way in it's easy to keep track of your pooch and lots of places for them to roam and play. I drive down from South Boston all the time. Another great dog park if you're local is the South Boston Bark Park. Really busy around 6:30 in the Summer. read more

Stodder's Neck - The top of the hill at Stodder's Neck. - Parks Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Absolutely my favorite dog park!! Everywhere we go we recommend to our fellow dog parkers to make the trip to Stodder's neck. We really appreciate that dogs can be dogs here. As soon as you walk through the gate everyone is off leash! Our dog loves to swim and play in the water. This park gives him and us some independence and confidence that his water play wont be bothering anyone. Also the "nature loop" gives him some time to walk with us and dry off before getting back into the car. Water fountains on site. read more

This is a place for dogs. If it were a place for human's, I'd knock it a star for cleanliness. But as it's a place for dogs, 4 stars. Swimming, a big hill to run up and down, squirrels to chase, butts to sniff... what more could a dog want? It's not a place for people to swim or sit by the beach (I was mislead by these reviews on that), but we had a nice time eating a picnic lunch, walking a couple loops around, and chatting with other dog owners. read more

We took the dog here yesterday and it was a pretty good time. There is a lot of open area for your dog to run around off leash and most of the owners are vey good about keeping an eye on their pets. There was one dog (Border Collie) that no one knew the owner and it was a little weird and overly dominant, but other than that one dog it was good. There are little trails down to the water all around the perimeter of the park, but the best places are at the end of the pennisula where it opens up into a small beach area where the dogs can fetch into the water or just run around a little bit. The view from the little beach area is pretty nice and you get a good view of all the sailboats that have anchorage berth out in the river. My main complaints about this place are that there are not many fountains for filling up water bols or bottles and there are not a lot of places for people to hangout. This is a pretty popular 'dog park regular' spot and there are some well behaved dogs here. If the weather is nice and you want to take your four legged friend out for a little adventure, this is the place. Plus there is the benefit of really wearing out your dog so that they just crash when you get home. read more

Stodder's Neck - View right when you walk in. Trail wraps around this main field. - Parks Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Great place to let the pup stretch her legs. One of the cleaner off leash dog parks I have seen. Great view and great walk for humans as well. One thing I will say, the poop bag dispensers are always empty. I bring my own but I've seen a few people leave waste after walking to the dispenser. People are making the effort but the things are empty. Perhaps leave refills out somewhere. If money is the issue put a donation box, a couple bucks goes a long way in poop bags. read more

Stodder's Neck - Parks Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

We brought the pup here on a nice day a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. Though Griffy stayed on his leash (he can't always be trusted not to take off) he still enjoyed sniffing his off-leash buddies that came strolling by. I was amazed at how well-behaved and well the dogs there minded their owners! Could it just be that I'm a bad dog-parent? Sigh. Anyway, aside from a little muddiness in spots, it was great. The loop doesn't take so long so Griffy didn't tire out and there are water bowls scattered about for thirsty pups (though my germaphobe nature steered us clear). It was like a scene from a movie watching doggies frolic and play together and my little guy probably was kind of ticked off he didn't get to run with the big dogs (HA HA)! Pretty psyched to have this place nearby and the best part: the doggie was so exhausted when we got home! read more

This is by far the most ideal dog park I've been to in the area. (I live in Marina Bay, so I happily drive 20 mins to get there.) I love that it is gated and surrounded by water, so as to allow the dogs to run free off leash. There is a wide variety of landscapes and places to go with your dogs. There is a trail that traverses the inside edge of the neck, and a rocky beach along the outside edge. The center varies between large, sloping, grassy fields & woods lined with a few picnic tables. It is fun to bring a picnic there, since you don't need to worry about having your dogs off of the leash. It really is a place of respite & relaxation, and it is very easy to end up staying there hours more than you anticipated. Check out my pics!! read more

Cute park to bring your dogs. Very spacious and great views. There are different paths to take and little hills that you can climb. A lot of owners let their dogs off the leash to run around. Our dog was a bit skittish with the bigger dogs running up to her so we had to pick her up from time to time. Most of the dogs seem to enjoy their time playing and socializing with the other dogs. Water is available from a water fountain. Plenty of parking right by the entrance. read more

My dog loves this park cause he can go swimming. It's a peninsula surround by the bay. The middle of it is a little woodsy for the pups to explore. It's a small park but I started going here to work on recall with my boy given there's really no where he could run off too. If you can get here when it's not completely high tide or low that's the best time. If it's low you'll be walking in the mud and when it's high there's no much beach for them to run on. Be careful of the shells, my dog slit his paw running around here and we had to go to the vet read more

This is a nice area to walk with your dog. Views are beautiful. Down side is a lot of people don't feel the need to pick up after their pets. There are landmines (poop) all over the place. Also, some owners don't pay attention to their dogs which can be dangerous for dogs that are on leash and shy. read more

Great place to walk around with your dog. Not sure of the distance of the circle, but you can go around a few times w/your dog and you both get some energy out. Everyone seems to let their dogs off leash, but confusingly enough there is a sign toward the back which says dogs must be leashed, but obviously no one pays attention to this. This is a peninsula surrounded by the ocean so dogs can swim if that's their thing. read more

I go out of my way to drive here. It's one of the few places my dog can run in such a big open space in a place that's basically fenced off (by water, woods, and a front gate). He gets overly excited and I sometimes get concerned hes going to run too far out of my reach, and never come back. That has not happened ! LOL All the dogs and owners I've encountered have been great. There is a bit of a poop issue like some people have mentioned, but I can look past that because my dog loves it here. We try to come here one a week (at least while the weather is still nice). Definitely worth the drive. read more
