Dog walking in Butler

West Milford

West Milford is located eleven miles north of Butler. West Milford Dog Park lets you buy some dog food, pick up a few treats for your furry pal, and lets your pup enjoy the one-acre dog park provided by the Pequannock Feed & Supply Store. The dog park is fully fenced and has an enclosure for large dogs and another for small ones. The dog park is grass and mud, so your pup could get dirty playing here! No worries, though -- a hose lets you give your dog a rinse off before heading home.  The dog park is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated and help with maintenance.

Beverwyck

Parsippany is located fourteen miles south of Butler. Cameron Dog Park gives pups some grassy fenced space for running and playing. A separately fenced space lets the smaller pups play safely. The ground has some hills and a few dips here and there. Dogs navigate it without a whimper, but people with mobility issues should watch their step. Water is available at the dog park. Waste stations are fully stocked with waste baggies. A few benches and some limited shade keep the human companions comfy while their furry family member has fun. Visitors must register with the city and pay a small fee.

Bellevue Ave

Montclair is located eighteen miles south of Butler. Brookdale Dog Park receives five barks of approval from most of its canine visitors. This pupular place has two fully fenced enclosures for off-leash exercise and play. Small dogs have their own dedicated space just for them. The surface is a gravel mulch, which keeps your pooch fairly clean even on a rainy day of play. Water is another convenience. Various pieces of agility equipment make Brookdale a destination for training or just add to the excitement. People are able to supervise their furry friends from shaded benches. Waste stations provide ample stocks of doggie bags for easy pick-ups.

East Ridgewood

Ridgewood is located eighteen miles east of Butler. Ridgewood Bark Park gives dogs a place to shed the leash and play with other furry friends.  This dog park features separate fenced spots for big and smaller dogs.  The ground here is a snifftastic combination of grass, dirt, and a gray mulch. Pieces of agility equipment entice those curious hounds and a few herding types to climb and explore a new exercise game. Mature trees give great shade for people who need to relax while their four-legged friend finds a new buddy or two. A trek around the nearby duck pond makes for a relaxing stroll for human and a leashed canine.

Morristown

Morristown is located twenty miles south of Butler. Lewis Morris Dog Park gives pups a pawfect way to start or end a day. This fully fenced dog park is one of the amenities to be found in the scenic Lewis Morris County Park. It has a section reserved for small dogs as well as a large dog area. The surface of the dog park makes some of the two-legged folks uncomfortable because it is paved and not soft mushy grass or dirt. It keeps those paws clean and those nails polished, though! Water is not immediately available but the county park has many restrooms in case you leave without a water bottle. Shade and benches are at a premium.
