Newtown Park & Bark,

21 Old Farm Rd, Newtown, CT 06470, United States

"I used to take my dog here almost every day. He got both giardia and conjunctivitis from the dog park, we stopped bringing him after he kept getting sick and when we encountered a few overly dominant dogs. We met some very nice people here, but also some very arrogant people. Many do not pay attention to their dogs or correct them when they misbehave. Also, there should be a rule about not allowing intact males...there's a rule for females, but why not intact males? I have seen my share of aggressive and dominant intact males here. It's not a matter of if a fight will break out, it's a matter of when at the dog park. Too many inexperienced people. Not worth my dogs safety."

"My schauzer was cornered by a group of dogs, bitten and shook like a toy. Never have i returned there and never before or after has this happened and we've been to many parks in the area. No owner of said dogs came forward to even ask if my dog was ok. I am sure that there are nice people and dogs that come to this park but I'm equally sure there is a dangerous element there as well. Not worth it look elsewhere for your dogs sake."

"This dog park is beautiful and clean! It's a large fenced-in area with a little spray area and a little plastic pool to encourage water play. Plastic bags are provided to clean up after your pup, and mostly everyone who goes there is courteous and respectful towards others. There is a little roofed over area where one can sit in the shade but otherwise, its whole area is in the full sun. There is also a secluded play zone for tiny pups that is fenced in, that borders besides the regular dog play area. Dog treats aren't allowed there to avoid fights over food but also due to food allergies. I have seen that on occasion people break that rule, but if your dog is sensitive, I suggest you scan the area before you let your pup play..."

"One of the nicest dog parks I’ve been to in CT! It’s a massive, fenced off park that features a paved section with fountains and sprinklers. It also has a large grassy area with ramps, hoops and tires for your pooch to play with and in. If you’ve got a smaller pup, they also have a separate fenced off area specifically for small dogs. Enjoy!"
