Meriden Dog Park — Attraction in Meriden

Great concept too bad lazy people ruin it. First time trying and was excited to have a larger space for my pug to explore leash free. There are two fenced areas, one for large dogs one for smaller plus other leashed area around the pond to walk. They have trash cans for waste but not covered so all you smell is dog waste. Did not see any waste bag dispensers but we carry our own. Unfortunately, lazy people do not pick up after their dogs. There was dog waste everywhere in the small dog section and most was from larger dogs. I used my bags to clean up mainly because my pug is a poop licker… must have went through 6 bags and used each one to pick up two piles. One lady dropped her dog in the park then went and sat in her car… Lazy nasty people ruining a great concept. Unfortunately towns do not have the resources to enforce clean up...

I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you have pups and they want to run and play you will absolutely enjoy this dog park like I do. It has a big parking lot as well many spots to choose from and it also has a book been so you can take and...

I've been here two times and had great experiences. The people seem like responsible dog parents and correct their dogs when they get carried away which creates an atmosphere where dogs are playful with each other. It shows the humans are in charge which is great. The view of the lake is fantastic and there is plenty of space for dogs to run around. The way it's set up it feels open and not enclosed. There's also plenty of parking space and a separate section for small dogs. As a Meriden resident I'm so happy this place opened up. Now I don't have to drive 15-20 min to the nearest dog park. I can just make a quick drive here after work before it gets dark so my dog can socialize and get a lot...
