Iron Hill Dog Park

Are you and Scruffy looking for a dog park that also has nearby hiking trails, a playground, and other amenities? Then you won't want to miss the Iron Hill Dog Park in Newark, Delaware. Scruffy will enjoy a wide open space to run off-leash under the shady trees. He will also have his choice of rolling around in the grass or mud.

This medium-sized dog park offers an excellent place for you and Scruffy to play fetch and exercise. Owners are grateful for the benches and restrooms nearby. The park also provides water fountains for you and your canine pal. This dog park is part of the Iron Hill Park, which you and Scruffy should check out after your doggy play. 

Since Delaware has some snowy winters, Iron Hill presents some fun exploration during those long months because it's open year-round. This might get you and Scruffy off of the couch when it's snowing. Be aware that the small dog park might not be suitable for very tiny dogs, such as Chihuahuas, who have been known to sneak through the fence. And since this is a very wooded area, watch out for the poison ivy.

This medium-size dog park shows off Delaware's greenery, but it does get muddy when it rains. Still, past visitors rave about the cleanliness and poop pickup at the inside of the gates. To keep it that way, make sure you clean up after your pup before you leave. 

You and Scruffy could take a leisurely break in the gazebo and admire the forest surrounding you. This park remains secluded and a hidden gem, which means that you might not see a lot of visitors during your stay. So whether you want to visit in the summer, fall, spring, or winter, the Iron Hill Dog Park offers a fun place to play. You might want to head there now because Scruffy's excitedly jumping at the door. Have fun!
