Aly,

This is a great list of doggie parks and runs in the area. Thanks for letting me know of some new places I never even knew existed. Keep them coming!!!

The Seacaucus Bark Park is a lot of fun for Chewie. Most times, it is pretty empty and he and his friend Joey are the only ones there, the most other dogs that were there besides us were about 3 or 4. The agility equipment includes different sized ramps, bars to jump over, and little tubes to run through. It is spacious, has a fine gravel ground cover instead of wood chips. The parking is a little strange - just park on the street or across the street in some office building's lot. The park is not separated for big and small dogs, but Chewie has never had a problem with any of the big dogs... he has so much fun there and is always really tired when he gets home!

wow I 'm glad to hear the park was so much fun we have to make a trip their somtime .....hey just got wind of two dog runs-one in livingston and one in lynhurst they sound really excited if anyone has been or knows somebody who has been to these runs ....please tell me alittle more about them ........... also I would love to hear about some of the places were you take your dogs........so please write back thanks see you all soon!!!!!

I drive pass the dog park in Lyndhurst. Looks pretty nice. I see some dogs there alot. Not tons of dogs, seems like a good amount. I've never stopped though.

maybe on day when it's alot warmer I will take a ride their and see what it is all about it sounds really nice ............ my babies love to go to the dog runs-get down and puggie with it - so maybe somtime when the weather coorperates we should all take a ride over and see what this park is all about ...until then I will be going to bon chein were it is nice and warm I invite all of you to come with me .....keep adding more fun place to take our puggie buddies ...even if thier is no run and it is just a fun place to take a stroll or go on a hike if it is outdoors ...or in doors (when it's cold ) and it's with the babes we loveit and love to hear about so please continue to write places that you ake your pugs so we can all joinin the fun!!!!! see you all soon !!!

Hi ALy,

I was just wondering if you have any new hiking places to add to this list at all?

Can't wait for the warm weather to come so we can explore some of these places.

Thanks for creating this great list...

Since moving to Cliffside Park, NJ these are the two closest dog runs for Nigel. Lately we've been going mostly to Overpeck. Both runs have different sections for big and small dogs depending on your little one's play mood! Both parks are also good for long walks as both have nice walking/running grounds -- look out for geese droppings though at Overpeck! Enjoy!

Overpeck County Park

Fort Lee Road
Leonia, NJ 07605
