Youngs Pond Dog Run is a spacious official off-leash dog park in Branford, Connecticut, situated between Youngs Pond Park and Pine Orchard Golf Course. It offers a grassy expanse ideal for dogs to exercise and play. The area is part of Young's Pond Park, which features trails, woods, and a pond, but deed restrictions prohibit benches or additional structures.
Youngs Pond Dog Run is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Youngs Pond Dog Run 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 reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
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: Certain amenities like seating and water fountains might not be clearly available. Adjacent trails require pets on leash.
