Whether you want your dog to make new friends or are simply looking for space to let them run out their endless energy, a dog park is a great option. Delaware’s dog parks cater to canines of all ages, sizes and breeds.
With agility obstacles, fenced-in space to roam and plenty of other pups to meet and interact with, these dog parks are perfect spots to hang out with your furry friend.

New Castle County Bark Park
The New Castle County Bark Park is particularly popular, and for good reason. The fully fenced-in space makes for a stress-free, off-leash play experience. With plenty of toys, obstacles and water bowls, the area provides everything your pup needs for a fun playtime. It’s also a great place for socialization with plenty of other dogs filtering in and out throughout the day.

Lums Pond Dog Park
Is your furry friend an avid swimmer? Lums Pond is the place for them! With a little section of Lums Pond set aside for the dogs, it’s a great spot for them to cool down in the warm summer months. This one isn’t fenced in, so it’s ideal for trained and trusted dogs with plenty of open space to throw a ball or frisbee. Head to the parking lot off of Buck Jersey Road for the quickest access to the dog park.
