Brookdale Dog Park is a 1.2-acre off-leash facility within Brookdale Park in Montclair and Bloomfield, NJ, featuring separate 0.8-acre and 0.4-acre fenced areas for large and small dogs. It includes stone dust surfacing, play apparatus, shade trees, walking trails, safety enclosures at entrances, time-out areas, dog washing stations, and water fountains. The park is praised for its spacious, well-maintained, and peaceful environment.
Brookdale Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Brookdale Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Owners must supervise dogs closely; occasional reports of aggressive dogs; large dogs should stay in their designated area; can get crowded on weekends.
