The Princeton Community Dog Park is a 1.7-acre fully fenced off-leash area in the southwest corner of Community Park South, converted from a baseball field. It features separate areas for small and large dogs, providing space for play and socialization. The park is a temporary installation while permanent plans are developed.
Princeton Community Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, Princeton Community Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Dogs must be licensed with license displayed on collar/harness and up-to-date on rabies vaccinations. Aggressive dogs, females in heat, and puppies under 4 months prohibited. On-leash until inside first gate. Max 3 dogs per adult. Pick up waste. Unsupervised; use at own risk.
