Dog Park (Large Dogs)
location_onEvesham Township, NJ
Big dogs get their own space at this large-dog section of Evesham Township's public dog park in Burlington County, New Jersey. It's a free, township-run spot where larger breeds can play off-leash without navigating around smaller companions. Evesham, which includes the Marlton area, maintains the park through its recreation department, and the municipal website is the best source for current rules and any seasonal closures. Fencing and surface specifics aren't confirmed in our listing, so confirm the enclosure before unclipping the leash. Bring water and cleanup bags. Owners of smaller dogs should look for the park's separate small-dog area rather than using this one.

2nd & Hudson Street Dog Park
location_onHoboken, NJ
Two separate runs, one for large dogs and one for small, make up this newer addition to Hoboken's dog-run network at Second and Hudson Streets, a block in from the southern waterfront. Both sections are surfaced with K9 turf rather than gravel or wood chips, which keeps paws cleaner and drains faster after rain. The city added the location after gathering public input on its dog-run system, and it serves the dense downtown blocks where most residents live in apartments without yards. Hoboken operates a handful of other runs around town, from Church Square Park to Stevens Park, but for the First and Second Street neighborhoods this corner is the closest place to legally unclip the leash.
Hilltop Dog Park
location_onNorth Caldwell, NJ
Essex County built this dog park inside Hilltop Reservation, a nature preserve spread across the Second Watchung Mountain through North Caldwell, Cedar Grove, and Verona. Drivers reach it through the North Caldwell municipal parking lot on Courter Lane, off Mountain Avenue, and that detail matters: the preserve has several edges, but the dog park is served by this one access point. It joined the county park system's short roster of dog parks, giving western Essex County an off-leash option surrounded by woods instead of streets. The reservation's trails remain a separate, on-leash affair, so the fenced run is where the leash comes off. Check the Essex County Parks site for rules and seasonal notices before heading up the hill.
