Fort Lee Dog Park

I love it! It is kept very clean and I like that it is not dirt but gravel! The 3 star rating is because of the massive amount of tiny berry’s in the small dog park area with bushes growing into the small dog park area. Alot of bugs like to hide by the bushes and small dogs can easily consume the berries which may be dangerous. Eeek! I do like that it is never too crowded that I am able to use the large dog area since I have a little rebel that likes to taste things on the floor. Now. The poopp. in the large dog area. if I did not have to clean up dried poop everywhere that owners had left there for someone else to clean I would definitely give all 5 stars! Besides that this is the place I’d take my dogs always because they never get little bugs stuck on them when I check them before leaving the park. However the berry bushes growing into the small dog park area needs to go and owners need to clean up after their own dogs.

I liked the parking in front. The park itself although very nice, smelled of urine and there was no escaping it without leaving the park. I’ve been to may dog parks and this is the first time I experienced this problem. I may go back at some point to give it another chance. It’s possible it was just bad timing.

This is a really cute dog park. It’s a square versus a rectangular space with a hydrant, a few toys, and two tubes (which I never see dogs go through and mine is deathly afraid of it).
They have water (though it shuts down come winter time), which is nice.

As a dog walker I love this run. It’s always clean and very nice people with good dogs tend to come here. I like it that it has water so you can give your dogs. Also it has a separation of big dogs and little dogs. There is parking lot so if you wanna drive there you don’t have to worry about parking.

A cute, well-​kept dog park. Plenty of parking in front.
Apple maps will have you believe it’s located at Center Ave and Guntzer St. Don’t believe it! There is a construction site and a big sign that says NO DOGS ;)

I’ve been meaning to try this dog park for a while and finally brought my dogs here today. Overall, it’s a great little park. They had fun enjoying one of our first nice days. I really have nothing negative to say, except that the gate latches are not very secure, so you need to watch out for that.
Here’s the scoop – all good:
* Convenient parking. Unlike the Overpeck dog run, parking is right in front of the run. It couldn’t be more convenient. When you have small dogs with little legs, you don’t want to wear them out before they even get a chance to play.
* Small and large dog areas. It’s nice that there’s a safe area for the little guys.
* Tunnels for the dogs to run through.
* Small pebbles rather than wood chips. I can’t say for sure, but I suspect the rock, along with the flat terrain, help to keep mud at a minimum. This is much better than wood chips, in my opinion.
Thee other dogs and owners seem nice too. We’ll be back!

I love this quieter option for my pretty big freak of a dog who is skittish when even a chihuahua barks at her. This dog park has fewer dogs which is ideal for my dog but not be for a puppy whose energy you are trying to expel. They even have a station for water to be refilled (closed in the winter though).
Right now the big dog park the door is broken.
