Dog walking in Alpine

Hospital/Pascack Brook

It is a six-mile drive west of Alpine to Westwood. Here, a person with a pent-up pup will find the West Woof Dog Run. This dog park has two fully fenced enclosures for off-leash exercise. One section is set aside for small dogs too. Those paws will run on a ground of mulch and dirt. Yes, sometimes dirt on those paws will happen! A sign of a very good time. A hose is available for a good rinse off. Kiddie pools show up in the hot months so remember to bring a towel. Human companions will find several park benches.  In the main park, a hike on an almost mile-long loop trail will give both person and pup a good stretch. A leash is required in the main park areas.

Paramus

A journey of ten miles west of Alpine will take a person and pup to Paramus. The Van Saun County Park has 146 acres of fun space for people to enjoy. It includes a zoo, picnic areas, a fishing lake, and a 1.5-mile hiking trail. Dogs can't go to the zoo but can walk on a leash with their person on the hiking trail. The best feature, of course, is the dog park. This fully fenced playground for your pup lets your pup rid the leash and exercise with other canine pals. A separately fenced area keeps the smaller dogs safe while they play. The surface is gravel covered so pups stay relatively clean here. Waste bags are provided.
