The Copp Family Park — Attraction in Groton

It's has a great big space for dogs to play but please read the rules!! My dogs have been attacked a few time nothing major but please be aware of the rules. People who do not follow them and seem to be causing tension should always ask the person to remove themselves respectfully if not please do not hesitate to report them. People dont seem to mind dogs that are not fixed even though the rules state otherwise and most of the time its fine. Just know what your walking into and monitor your dog. Communicate with other owners some people never say anything until it's too late. I've seen dogs get ears bitten off. Also please bring your own water they have universal bowls that the dogs share but no water. It does get muddy after it rains and sometimes theres a HUGE mud puddle so be warned. Never forget bug spray because for some reason there are TONS of mosquitoes especially during the summer and bring some sunscreen there is some shade but it can easily get busy and you dont want to be in the sun forever. Sometimes if the grass gets crazy you have to call the town and ask them to mow it they can slack sometimes but lately its gotten alot better. That's mainly everything but I cannot stress to read the rules if your looking to bring your dog. Dont forget to pick up your pooches...

I tolerated this for a while and just kept to the other side of the enclosure with my Mastweiller; until this chihuahua mix continued to nip at my dog as I tried to get the owner's attention the small dog actually bit my dog (no blood drawn) at which point I got between the two picked up the small dog by its harness leashed my own dog dropped the small dog in its oblivious owners lap told them to learn to control their...

Went here for a quick nature walk with the family. We met a few people along the walk and they were all very friendly. This is a dog run park, so expect dogs. We didn't know that, but that's not a problem for us.

We were also cautioned that there are snakes that are often found on the path, and that just that day the gentleman who told us said he saw two that day.

We didn't see any, but I don't believe there are any venomous ones in the area. Just be careful when you go and keep your eyes out for nope ropes (venomous ones) and danger noodles...
