Southside Dog Park is a well-maintained, fully fenced off-leash facility in South Plainfield, NJ, featuring separate areas for small dogs (under 25 lbs) and large dogs. It includes agility elements like climbing structures and fire hydrants, dog water fountains, waste stations with complimentary bags, and benches for owners. The park is consistently clean and ideal for high-energy dogs to play and socialize.
Southside 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.
Best of all, Southside 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 reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
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: Supervise dogs; clean up after your pet. Separate areas by dog size (under/over 25 lbs).
