Dog walking in East Orange

Watsessing Park

Bloomfield adjoins East Orange, and the two cities share Watsessing Park. The park has a dog park that is situated in the Bloomfield part of the park. This dog park has two fully fenced enclosures for dogs to run and play leash-free.  The ground in this dog park is gravel, which is great on a rainy day so Fido doesn't get his paws muddy. The area for the small dogs is also gravel. Water is available at the dog park. There are enough benches in the shade to keep the humans comfortable in those hot summer months. Waste stations remind people to watch their dogs and pick up any poop pronto.

Six miles south of East Orange lies the township of Maplewood. The pup playground at South Mountain Dog Park will put some spring into the step of even a senior pup! This dog park features a large area of ground which is mostly mulch-covered. A few rock formations make the dog park look more natural. A section of the dog park is reserved for small dogs. Your pooch will love playing on the agility equipment here, which includes ramps, tunnels, and structures to climb on  and jump over. A dog can get quite a workout on this equipment! Water is available on-site, and waste stations are stocked with doggie baggies. People will find a comfortable shaded seat to relax while the fur baby (pup or senior) has some much deserved fun.

Your pup must stay on-leash outside of the dog park.
