Paws Place Dog Park

"It's a nice large dog park. Great dogs and people"

"The dog park at Ward Acres Park is the biggest and best dog park in the region. With both a large area for big dogs and a segregated area for small dogs, the pens have double doors, bins at each of the three exits, and a very friendly community. Please observe there are rules which are afixed at the main entrance for who comes into the large dog pen from the school side of the park."

"I wish I live around that neighborhood! My spoiled dog and I really enjoyed dog park Clean and friendly!! Will be back again"

"Racial Discrimination Officer #: 10097 Look at beautiful family! My partner and I took our well mannered, professionally trained dogs to Paws Place in New Rochelle on January 26 at around 1130am. Our dogs play respectfully and nicely with all the other dogs, causing no disruption. Around 12pm we decided to head home-- while walking out of the dog park a policer officer approached us and asked if we had permit for our dogs and that all dogs need park permits to play in the park. We told him we were unaware of that policy and that we have been to this particular park a ton of times and has never been asked if we had park permits. Which is totally fine, as we respect the park and its rules. It's what happened after...The officer proceeded to ask us if we read the signs around the perimeter of the park (in a rude sarcastic tone) so I asked him if someone called and reported 2 black unfamiliar faces in park and that I will stick around to make sure he asks every person in the dog park if they have the proper park permit for their dogs. He proceeded to ask for my partner his name and information as he started writing up a city code violation warning. My partner and I both left our wallets in the car. He asked my partner "are you going to give me the right name and address or do we need to go to the car and see your license?" Why would you assume my partner would give out the wrong information? Because we are black? After the officer issued our warning. He continued to walk into the park asking 1 or 2 persons for their dog permit. One person had it and the other didn't -- he DID NOT write a warning for the other (white) person without the proper permit. We were targeted and racially discriminated against. A white man witnessed the entire ordeal and offered to write a statement if we decided to write a complaint. Which we DID!"

"My dog Logan loves the park and his friends Shamus, Leo, Dash, Buddy and all his girlfriends Cassie, Athena, Magnolia, Trixie, Deliliah and Saddie."
