Smithfield Dog Park — Attraction in Smithfield

I am always so grateful when I see dog parks like this, because I am a very fragile person who loves to be in nature and often sees dogs unleashed on hiking trails. Last summer, I was jumped on by a dog on a hiking trail. wanted to say hi. I yelled to the owner to tell him that I was fragile and could not greet his dog and his response was “don’t worry he’s friendly.” The problem wasn’t that was friendly or not, the problem was that I have syndrome and my body cannot handle even a small dog jumping on an ankle let alone a big dog jumping on my hips. I dislocated a hip.

Since then, I see a dog park I leave. Whenever I see a trail with an unleashed dog I also leave a review and I try to encourage people to visit the dog park and let their dog run wild.

So grateful that Smith has a dog park like this! This encourages parents of Doggo to follow the rules elsewhere, because there is a place where their dog can run wild and play with other dogs and it’s not just their backyard.

Handicapped reserved spots and plenty of parking besides.

The ground is not even though, so if you have balance...

i’ll never attend this dog park ever again. took my dog for her birthday thinking it would be a great way to get her energy out and interact with other dogs but was extremely disappointed immediately. there were 5 dogs in the 30 pound and lower section who were very clearly NOT 30 pounds. these dogs look about 45 to 50 pounds. There is no worker around to tell dogs that they look too big to be in the section which I think is definitely needed. I still gave it a shot and immediately my dog was shaking terrified because these large dogs came charging at her and tackling her. My dog is 30 pounds and these dogs were MUCH bigger than her, clearly in the wrong section of the park. This dog park needs supervision in order to tell people the rules and make sure things are running smoothly. had to leave immediately and was disappointed. waste of time! won’t recommend or...

This sure is a nice dog park ,I will give it that, beautifully built But ....Same issues as any other unfortunately , depends on what dogs are there and what the pack mentality is of the dogs so you always have to be cautious at dog parks, As for the fee? Well it's a great idea if it's enforced however it is not , dog officer was there and checked no one ! Not one dog owner . If that's the case then why bother? Anyway I gave it a try and as nice as it is , I'll stick to my solo walks and off leash time , because you just don't know what your going to get ! My dog was constantly humped by two others ! And he is male and fixed , they just wouldn't let up and let him play , when your dog is doing that to another dog excessively please , take the dog and go home and try another day! Dog parks are always...
