The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Colonia

Sewaren

Less than five miles from Colonia is the small town of Sewaren, which is where you will find the Sewaren Dog Park. This dedicated dog park features separate areas for smaller and larger dogs, as well as a water fountain, a doggie bag receptacle, an agility area, and even a gazebo for owners to wait at while their pooches play. Sewaren also provides access to the 126 acre William Warren Park, with sports facilities, picnic areas, playgrounds and mini theater. If your pup would prefer a smaller park, there are a few options available, including the Buffer Strip Park and the Captain Carlsen Park, both of which offer scenic river views.

Madison Hill

About an eight minute drive from Colonia is the Madison Hill neighborhood of Clark, which is home to the famous Rahway River Park. This historic, well-maintained park was constructed in 1926, and is best known for its open fields and panoramic views, with a paved trail to help you and your pooch explore it all. If Fido is still not tired, head on over to Esposito Park, where you will find sports facilities, a playground, picnic areas and a skating area. There is also a beautiful walking path here, winding its way for half a mile around the freshwater wetlands, although you will need to keep your dog on a lead at all times.

West Rahway/ East Clark

The Rahway neighborhood of Madison Hill Rd/ Stone St is just two miles from Colonia, and is where you will find some pawriffic parks. Milton Lake Park, with its sports facilities, playgrounds and more, is one of the most popular, and although it can get quite busy at times, its riverside setting and well-shaded lake still exude an aura of peacefulness. Madison Avenue Park is also in this neighborhood, and is home to sports fields, picnic areas, and a walking path that will take you and Fido around the park. Since both of these are urban parks, a lead is essential, and you will also need to bring doggie bags and drinking water.

Tremley/ Tremley Point

Just a ten minute drive from Colonia lies the Linden neighborhood of Tremley/ Tremley Point, which is home to quite a few pawsome activities. Begin at the scenic Memorial Park, which is not only home to sports facilities and picnic areas, but also to the Linden Dog Park. This fenced-off park is the pawfect place to let Fido have a run off the lead, but while drinking water is provided, you will still need to bring your own doggie bags. If the two of you need to cool down afterwards, the dog-friendly Menchie's Frozen Yogurt is just a short walk away, and serves up 100 rotating yogurt flavors alongside more than 70 rotating toppings.

Chain O Hills Rd/ N Hill Rd

The Chain O Hills Rd/ N Hill Rd neighborhood is always popular with pooches, as this is where you will find the 179 acre Merrill Park. This is one of the largest parks in the area, and is home to sports facilities, picnic groves, playgrounds, and even an animal haven with several farm animals to see. The paved walking trail here is just under a mile long and loops its way around the park, ensuring that you and your pup are able to see all of the park's highlights. For a sweet treat afterwards, take your pup to the dog-friendly Carvel Ice Cream, where the two of you can sample everything from sundaes to shakes.
