Two small gated runs with a large dog and small dog side.
Why mark large or small when most people do not adhere or follow the rules.
Unusual gate mechanism which leaves gate open often as people are not thay familiar with gate hardware. The entrance is muddy an has a ditch which holds water.
The third straight time, a user has left dog waste without using the dog clean up station.
We took our dog to the dog park section. It was clean, well maintained. I like that it has separate sections for small and big dogs. We had a bad experience in the past at a park that didn't have separate areas. My dog enjoyed running around and playing with the other dogs.
I love this park! Very clean and well maintained, with everything easily accessible. Our puppy loves the dog park, with 2 separate areas for large and small dogs. They are just the right size for bigger dogs to stretch their legs and for smaller dogs to get in a run.
Beautiful trails, fishing and a large open area with disc golf and picnic tables.
I see that some people are getting confused about the size of this park. Let me clear this up a bit. "Thompson park" marker on Google maps is actually "Manalapan Dog park," which is two fenced squares. One for large dogs, another for small dogs. Manalapan Dog park is located at the entrance and is part of "Thompson Grove park," which is a much larger area. If you drive a little deeper into Thompson Grove park, there is another parking lot... sort of. From there, you will see a river on one side and on another a vast open field where dogs can run and play. The field is surrounded by small trees and bushes with multiple short trails weaving around this area. Note: Technically, your dog must be on the leash at all times, but many people let their four-legged friends roam free there. This is a large area with no fences, you may encounter deer and other people with their dogs, so use your judgment before taking a leash off. Last but not least, Thompson Grove park (not Manalapan Dog park) has two wooden gates that are closed at sunset. So, if you see a starry sky and you are still there, you know - you are walking home.
