The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Kenilworth

North Kenilworth

North Kenilworth is quite a busy part of town, but there are still a couple of parks here that provide a green oasis in the midst of all of the hustle and bustle. The 11 acre Black Brook Park is one of the most popular because of all of the facilities it boasts, from baseball fields and roller hockey courts to playgrounds, a gazebo and picnic areas. There is also a paved walking path that runs through the park, making it easy to explore all that the park has to offer. Also in this neighborhood is 16^th Street Park, with its baseball diamond, playground and walking path.

Roosevelt Park

The neighborhood of Roosevelt Park in Cranford is right next to Kenilworth, and boasts a few parks that your pup will no doubt love. The highlight of this neighborhood is that it provides access to Nomahegan Park, which stretches out for 100 acres and offers up scenic waterfront views of Nomahegan Lake and the Rahway River. Not only will you find sports fields, a playground and picnic areas here, but there is also a two mile loop trail that will take you and your pooch around the park. A couple of other parks worth checking out in this neighborhood include Adams Park, with its softball fields and playground, and the picturesque Hanson Park, with its diverse array of trees, shrubs and flowers.

Springfield Rd

This neighborhood in Springfield is next to Kenilworth, and this neighborhood dips into one of the finest parks in the area. Lenape Park consists of almost 2000 acres of land, and is split into East and West sections. On the west side, you will find nature trails, canoe access points, playgrounds, picnic tables and a gazebo, whereas the east side of the park boasts softball and volley ball courts, picnic pavilions, a playground and beautiful views of Lake Lenape. With so much to see in this expansive park, you could easily spend the whole day here, just make sure to keep your pooch on a lead at all times, and bring some doggie bags with you too.

Union Twp

This Union neighborhood is adjacent to Kenilworth, and offers up some pawsome dog walks. Begin at Kawameeh Park, where you will find a playground, a lake, woodland areas, picnic spots, and winding walking trails to take you through all of this. Friberger Park also makes for a great walk, as there are a few different sections of dense trees here, providing plenty of exciting smells to get Fido's tail wagging. If your pooch still needs more exercise, head on over to the Veterans Memorial Park, which is home to a play area and a few picnic benches, as well as a paved path.

Mountainside

The Mountainside neighborhood of Mountainside provides access to two large parks that will definitely keep you and Fido busy for a while. The first is the Watchung Reservation, which, at over 2000 acres in size, is the largest nature reserve in Union County. The majority of the land is woodlands, in which so many different species of plants and animals live, and there is also a six mile walking trail here that showcases some of the historical features of the reserve. If all of that is not enough, take a walk over to Echo Lake Park. Not only are there sports facilities, pedal boats and picnic areas here, but you will also come across the Echo Lake Dog Park. This fully fenced-off dog park has separate areas for smaller and larger dogs, and provides fresh water and doggie bags too.
