Barrington Dog Park in Rhode Island is a great spot for dog owners. It’s tucked away in a quiet, wooded area, giving it a peaceful vibe that both dogs and their owners will appreciate.
The park has a good amount of space, with separate areas for small and large dogs, which is nice for keeping things safe and fun. The open areas are perfect for letting your dog run around and socialize.
The park is generally well-maintained. You’ll find trash bins and waste bags, so it stays pretty clean. It’s a simple setup, but it gets the job done. There are benches for sitting, and some shade from the trees, but remember to bring water for your dog since there’s no water fountain.
The community here is really friendly. Regulars make it a nice place to meet other dog owners and set up playdates. Parking is also easy, with plenty of spots close to the entrance.
Overall, Barrington Dog Park is a great choice if you’re looking for a safe, clean place for your dog to play. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s got a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a favorite...

In almost all the visits we've made there it has been nothing but a great experience both human and dog. It's usually well-behaved owners and well-socialized dogs who communicate well and behave appropriately.
Definitely recommended location for dogs that have a minimum of some socialization experience, for the fact that there are usually other dogs unlike other local parks which tend to be empty. The "Hunts Mill" dog park, for example, would be better for first timers/more timid dogs to start and then transition to the "Haines" dog park. Just...
Read moreI've been bringing my dog here for the past 2 years and we've always had good times and good relationships with all the dogs and their owners. Lately we've been getting nothing but delusional owners who deny their dog's behavior but react when their dogs instigate. I truly believe it's because my dog is half pit these people should be reeducated and pay more attention to their own dog's behavior before judging and treating my dog like a nuisance. I had one gentleman threatened to pull a gun on my daughter and another one scream at her they don't do it to me when I'm there though. there are some excellent videos by Cesar millan on controlling anxiety and controlling instigating dogs so that you get along well...
