Hilltop Reservation Dog Park — Attraction in North Caldwell

Tips for new people: it is gravel, so check your dog's paws afterward and clean out the pebbles!

Also, at the park's entrance, dogs tend to congregate, and some dogs get overwhelmed and bite, so ensure your dog walks in and has room to acclimate to the area, smell and visit other dogs slowly and calmly.

Three stars because there is no enforcement of dog owners cleaning up their dog's businesses. also, some guy keeps smoking from a marijuana pen there, and it reeks. To maintain the park's exclusivity and ensure a pleasant experience for all, I recommend considering a membership system instead of keeping it open to the public. Some irresponsible people bring their dogs (they know) are not too friendly and my dog has been in bad situations before.

First time I came here there was left over stool from large dogs but today it seemed to be clean. Recommend to anyone looking to burn their dog’s energy while making friends! Didn’t run into any issue of any owner not keeping their...

A LOT of space, some fun obstacles for dogs to try, multiple waste bag dispensers and easy access water station. Take your time finding it if you’re not a local, it’s certainly tucked away from view. If weather has been dry it’s a dust bucket so prepare accordingly. It’s all cinder gravel. There are 2 adjacent facilities, one for small and one for larger breeds. There’s even a time out square to quarantine mis-behavers. Dog Park Rules are clearly displayed & as of June 2020 masks required. I hope you catch a busy time and you and...
