Belfast Dog Park

Belfast Dog Park The Belfast Dog Park is located on Lincolnville Ave,(Rte 52) near the intersection of Route 1.It is open from dawn to dusk, and welcomes all friendly dogs.

The Belfast Dog Park was created by Friends of Belfast Parks and members of the community as a gift to the city, its dog owners, and their dogs. In September 2007, the Belfast City Council approved the location of an off-leash dog park at Walsh Field, and in August 2008 the park opened—at that time one of more than 700 off-leash recreation areas in the country. The dog park is at located at the Wa

lsh Field Recreational Area, on State Route 52 (Lincolnville Avenue), near the intersection of US Route 1. Traveling west on Route 52, the entrance to the Walsh Field Recreational Area parking lot is the second parking lot entrance on the left. The park is open from dawn to dusk daily. We hope you and your dog have a WONDERFUL, POSITIVE experience on each and every visit to the park! Comments and or feedback regarding your dog park experiences are welcomed and encouraged.

Winter is here...again! The dog park will continue to be open from daylight to dark.

Three important reminders for visitors:

First . . . if you are able to do so, please help shovel out the entrance gate areas and spread de-icer as needed. This is important for access and the safety of dogs and people. It also prevents damage to the gates.

Second . . . Be aware of the temperature and do not expose your dog to the cold for extended periods of time.

Finally . . . Be sure to carry out, or otherwise dispose of, empty water containers.

Thanks to all for your cooperation! Winter can be fun! Enjoy!

It's that time of year! The Parks and Rec Department has made plans to turn off the water for the season starting on October 28 in all city parks. This means no water at Walsh Field in the dog park and restrooms. Please plan to carry in water for your dogs and carry out the containers!

Another important message about the heat, especially the note below the dog photo!

The next few days are going to be brutally hot and it's important we take extra care to make sure our pets are safe. The Humane Society of the United States has offered these tips:

1. NEVER LEAVE YOUR PETS IN A PARKED CAR.
2. LIMIT EXERCISE ON HOT DAYS. A dog's feet are extremely vulnerable to injury from hot pavement-if you cannot keep the back of your hand on the pavement for more than 7 seconds, your dog should not be on the sidewalk. Additionally, their paw pads are one of the most important ways they expel heat. Take them short distances, offer lots of water, and let them rest in shade.
3. PROVIDE AMPLE SHADE AND WATER.
4. WATCH FOR SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE. Some signs of heatstroke are heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness.
