Hartman Rd Dog Park Hartman Road, Albany, NY 12208

"Many dogs. Some owners are in cliques. Others have dogs that are out of control. I used to be a fan of dog parks. I no longer recommend public dog parks. With the increase of dog attacks, I have come to understand that a dog park is a vector of disease and injury. When you do not have control over which dogs show up, your safety and your dog's safety are at risk."

"I came by today. The park gate isn't secured. Next to it seems gardening! Need work done. Surrounding has wide land. It could be good place for neighborhood to bring dogs for socializing. Definitely needs attention for government"

"I come here occasionally with my daushaunds, and everytime I do, the experience is pleasant. The other dog owners there are always friendly, the dogs are well behaved personality wise, and the park is also clean. There is a gazebo and several benches that owners / visitors can occupy. There are also bowls of water placed throughout the area for dogs, occasional dog toys sprinkled about and there are small pools of water for dogs to play / cool down in."

"This is one of the closest dog parks to our house and we go when we can to socialize our dog. The people are always nice who frequent it and it’s usually pretty clean. The only issue we have is that it’s pretty small and large or high energy dogs can’t really run very far before having to turn around, but it’s so cute and the neighborhood garden next door is so cute in spring and summer! We do tend to take our high energy dog to larger parks so he can run longer distances, but we come back here for the nice people and ambiance!"

"Wish something could be done about the easy flooding & mud pits. I mean my dog loves it, but my car doesn’t. Gets very icy in the winter months because of the lack of drainage. BRING BOOTS IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW, YOU WILL NEED THEM!"
