Dog walking in Windsor

Northwest Park

In this small Hartford County town in Connecticut, you can find a cute little doggie park at the Northwest Park called Windsor Dog Park. Your dog will enjoy an off-leash experience here with their new doggie friends! The park is fully fenced for extra security, and it's not very big, just one-third of an acre. Moreover, the park includes separate areas for small and large dogs so you don't have to worry about security. Although the park offers water bowls, there is no water fountain in the vicinity, and you have to walk a while to get water, so it might be a good idea to bring your own.

South Windsor

If you cross the Connecticut River east of Windsor, you'll find the South Windsor Bark Park, located in South Windsor. The park is fairly new and is fully fenced for extra security. It offers separate zones for small and large dogs. This medium-sized park doesn't allow toddlers and children to play with the pups for their own safety. The park is very clean and includes benches, chairs and waste bags for cleaning up after your pooch. Don't bring food to this park, though; it's against the rules. Water and water bowls are available for the pups, and they also have some port-a-potties for the human visitors. Outside of the fenced area, there are many trails that you can walk on with your leashed pup.

Southington

Around 26 miles south of Windsor is another dog park called Southington Dog Park, located in -- you guessed it -- Southington. It's a very clean and dog-friendly park that is properly fenced for an extra secure experience.The park is pretty large so you can tire out your pup. It has separate areas for small and large dogs. Children under 12 are not allowed in the park, and it's against the rules to bring food. There is water available in case your pup gets thirsty here. There are benches in the park so you can rest up and look over your four-legged fur baby. Aggressive dogs are not allowed into the park, so keep that in mind.

Glastonbury City

If you go further south, down the Connecticut River, you will find the Glastonbury Dog Park, located in Glastonbury. The park is covered in mulch and is properly fenced. It has separate areas for small and large dogs. It also offers benches and picnic tables to ensure the comfort of the dog owners. The park provides a water bowl, but doesn't have a water source, so you must bring your own water. The park is partially shaded. It's generally well-maintained and is a spacious park where your pooch can stretch his legs and meet with other pups. Dogs must be licensed and up to date on vaccinations to enter. Hungry? If the weather is nice, you and your dog can dine on the outdoor patio at Bricco Trattoria nearby.
