About the Park
Hero Dog Park is a spacious, well-maintained off-leash dog park located at 1501 New York Ave in Lawrence Township, NJ. It features separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, a perimeter walking path, patio seating, and waste bag dispensers. The park is part of Hamnett Memorial Park and includes an adjacent children's playground.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hero 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.
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, Hero Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
