Notes and considerations:

  1. Bullet There are ball fields here that are fenced off, but you can walk with your dog(s) in a loop around the side and behind the fields. The paths are mowed by the city, and if you go through a short path to the woods there is an old tote road that goes along the Scarborough Connector to a residential area further down New York Avenue.

  2. Bullet No dogs on the playing fields please! There is plenty of space in the back for fetch and walking.

  3. BulletSoPoDOG organizes trash cleanups in all of the open spaces on the first Sunday of each month. Sign up for an e-mail reminder so you can help.

  4. BulletThere are no doggie bag dispensers so please bring a bag with you. Also take a spare to share with another dog walker. There are trash cans in the park.

  5. Bullet Please be a good neighbor and limit noise such as yelling and excessive dog barking, carry out all trash and keep your dog under restraint as defined in the city’s code of ordinance.

The rules are the same here, pick up and carry out your trash. Bring your own bag to this park too!

There is an old road behind the park, but be careful, it is only separated from the busy Scarborough Connector by a thin area of trees.
