The "large dog" side of the dog park

Good: that it's in the neighborhood. And quiet. Bad: the water for the dogs is aerated and hard to collect to fill the water bowls.

When i first reviewed this dog park i wasnt aware of the "clique" of owners who dont really watch their dogs while they're there. It can definitely get a little hectic, and god forbid you ask one of them about their dog they look at you like you're crazy. If you do decide to visit this park, definitely go at off peak times, and NEVER on weekends.

The new fountain at the park makes my girl happy!

Love this park! And most of the people are great that bring their dogs! We all watch out for each other's dogs & most of the time there aren't any incidents

The park is a fun place to go all year long. The park has several sections to visit. In the spring and summer months there are plenty of things to do from picnicking to golf. The children's playground is a fun activity area for kids of all ages with lots of activities. There are plenty of picnic tables and a few grills to use as well. The other side of the park has a dog park where your pet can meet up with their buddy as well. Close by is a small pond which has an exercise area with different cardiovascular equipment to use outside. Several times In the summer they also put up an inflatable movie screen where they will show movies while you relax in the grass on your blankets or lawn chairs. In the winter it's a great place to go snow tubing. The snow tubing is expensive in my opinion, but the benefit is that you won't have to walk up the hill since there is an automatic line that you grab and it pulls you up. If you want to save some money and don't mind walking you can sled 10 feet away on the side of the hill from the paying snow tubes for free.

Bench under the canopy. Great shade.v

This is a very Nice park to take your dog. There's a small dog area for dogs under 30 pounds and a big dog area for dogs over 30 pounds. The park has benches to sit on and free doggie waste bags to dispose of your dog waste in the trash bin. There's Plenty of parking and the best part it's free. I recommend coming here during the weekdays as the weekends can get crowded. However even on weekends you find plenty of space for your dog to roam and play. If you're in the area come by and enjoy the beautiful scenery and take Fido with you.

I'd never been to the Middletown area before, but I'm glad our friend decided we should walk her dogs here. The lake is so picturesque, it was the cherry on top at our picnic. We went to the arboretum next door and loved the arrangements, decorations, and general vibe of the place. Definitely worth a visit on a sunny day.

Beautiful upkeep small and large dog park beautiful pond where dogs can swim In (at least I think it's allowed). Overall beautiful place definitely recommend going.

Beautiful spot for a picnic. And if you have a dog, he'll have fun in the spacious clean dog run. Highly recommended.

We love Bowdoin Park for so many reasons. The park is so spacious with so many nooks and crannies…read morethat there's something for everyone. Multi use sports fields, swing sets, toddler play areas, great spaces for picnicking, and for my purpose, Dog exploring. My black lab mix has to sniff frequently to feel gratification. So our trips to Bowden Park happened roughly once a week so he can read all the "Social PEEdia.". Regardless of what time or day it is, you'll always find people enjoying the trail, walk, quiet, picnic, entertaining children, or using one of the several permanent gazebo structures to host a celebration. I think it's still possible to rent out the lodge for overnight stays and private parties. I would defer to them to confirm that There's a little chapel on site and I've never been inside, but it looks absolutely adorable. This could be a great place for a casual country wedding celebration and picnic in place of those high priced extravagant weddings. This is our third visit this month and I have failed to report in two other times. If you have a dog, this is a great place to visit but make sure you bring your 6 foot leash. It is mandatory Like all parks in the county, the park closes at dusk. Be respectful and carry your trash out with you if you can't find a receptacle of which there are many. And by all means, clean up after your pet and your children. Keep the Park beautiful for everyone. The location of Bowden Park is on the edges of the Hudson River. You can't see the river from everywhere but you know it's there parallel to the train path to New York City and up to Poughkeepsie

Bowdoin Park is one of those parks where "I wish I discovered this place many years back." Driving…read morein leads to many things to do, a playground for the kids, and two big fields with one providing a baseball and soccer field. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the park along with pavilions. The pavilions are in great shape and in use. Bathrooms are provided in the main building. Also, be on the lookout for upcoming mini concerts, which are performed on the hilly field just as you enter. There are a total of six trails that are assigned a color, starting at one point and ending at a different location (with some reconnecting with the same path), except the blue trail, which does a loop, and also the Wappingers Greenway Trail, which passes through. I've enjoyed exploring, with decent views and scenery. The intersections of different paths need to be marked clearly, and instead, the sign is further in. Reading the map is key to not getting lost, which Bowdoin Park provides. There's a lot to offer for all ages, and it's a destination anyone won't regret along the Hudson River with a touch of nature.

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.
