Pooch Park

I’m a small dog owner so when large dog owners insist on having their big dogs (and I’m talking well over 75lbs) play in the little dog area while being belligerent, egotistical, rude & disgusting, then this park is not for me.
This park continues to disappoint me. NEVER EVER STEPPING FOOT HERE AGAIN.
After being hopeful about this park because it’s so close to me, it pains me to give it such a low rating. I hate it that there’s no shading in the little dog area & because of that I hate it that there are never or rarely any little dogs. I hate the huge ditch you have to drive through to get to the parking lot. And today I encountered the gross over filled garbage from the weekend. So disappointed. Go to Connolly Oark instead. Much better.

It’s decent. Fully fenced and plenty of room to throw a ball. My dogs of course love it, neither one of us are picky.
I’ve been there every day for about a week and I’ve only met one other person (and dog) there, the place is deserted! My dogs love to play with other dogs, is there another dog park nearby more populated?
(Edit) I just looked at the other reviews. I think it deserves better. It is a nice park, my dogs as most dogs would love it. I just wish there were other dogs there. Not bad at all! Glad it’s in within a mile from our home. It could use a little funding but overall, a nice place to bring to pups to burn off some energy.

This dog park is decent. I go here with my dog because it is the closest one to where I live. Many of the people are very friendly and take good care of their dogs. However, there are many who don’t and use aversives such as «alpha rolling» and scruffing, which just stresses their dog out and in turn stresses out everyone else’s dogs. I have also encountered some who don’t pay attention to their dog while there and allow their dog to bully and harass others. But of course this can occur at any dog park! We just leave when I see it. :) Otherwise, the fenced in areas are nice and roomy and there are places for people to sit. There is also a water fountain for the dogs. The ground is part gravel in the big dog section so expect it to be very muddy and messy after rain or snow.

After seeing some of the lame reviews on Unilocal,I was hesitant to visit Pooch Park, but I’m am glad I finally did. The Pooch Park is tucked away by the Cooper River Park and there is plenty of parking.
There are two areas for the dogs, a small dog section and a big dog section. The big dog section provides plenty of room for your dog to play. Granted– it is not huge, so it isn’t ideal for running. But I liked it because I was able to sit on a bench and have a view of my dog no matter where she wandered.
There is a cement path that runs through the gated area. On side of the park is covered in gravel– the other in grass. The gravel is great for post rain. There are also plenty of benches and trees for shade. The park also has poop bags, a poop trash can, and various water bowls and toys inside the park for your dogs to play with.
Outside the park there is a water fountain for humans and dogs which is nice. The water gets turned off after the first freeze.
I’ve only met a few people here so far, but they have all been welcoming and their dogs have been nice and playful.
If you are more interested in nature trails, this might not be the place for you. Although there is a small nature trail located at the very back of the parking lot.

This is a good dog park for smaller dogs there’s two sides… g1 for really small dogs, and 1 for regular dogs. Its cute but not the best if you want your larger dog to get some exercise… I’d recommend Timber Creek for that…#dogparks #MansBestFriend

I wish Unilocal had a «Zero Stars» selection because that’s what this dog of a park would get! Now that you’re curious, don’t even waste your time to drive over there to see what I’m talking about. Seriously. Don’t. But if you do, take a can of mace.
I heard about this dog park at work yesterday so after work I drove down past it to see where it was located. There were only two dogs in the pen when I passed by; two pitbulls and their thug owners. I don’t have anything against pitbulls but put a pitbull with a thug and I want no part of it, especially after my coworker just got done telling me that her friends’ dog got bit by a pitbull at this park and I verified it per another review on Google. Am I judging a book by it’s cover? Yep! And I’m okay with that.
I went on a Friday afternoon (I’m home from work, «sick») at 2 o’clock. If you can get beyond the many serial killers/​child molesters/​seedy-​old-​trolls-​looking-​for-​a –trick just to get to the fenced-​in area, you’ve done better than I have. I wasn’t sure if I was more pleased to find that the puppy area had a fence to keep my dog inside or happier that there was a fence to potentially delay the entry of one of the creeps lingering around in the parking lot that it might give me enough time to escape before being abducted and murdered and thrown in the Cooper River, never to be heard from again. Either way, I was not impressed for one hot second by this place.
Look closely at the photograph posted for the park with the German Shepard in the foreground. See where the grey stones end and that brownish color begins? Yeah, that’s mud. Not grass. Mud. Who wants to take their dog to a park to play in the mud? I walked my dog three-​quarters of the way down the concrete walkway and turned around and got back in my car. Sorry, puppy, no running at the park today.
What a terrible shame that the city would invest in putting up something to beneficial to the community and then let it slip into what it’s apparently become. But, hey, if I’m ever in the mood for some afternoon delight with a disgusting old troll, I know where to go. Ugh… I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. I’m jus’ sayin’, is all…

Ground completely covered in slushy ice when i went in February. Even though it is gravel, there is still a lot of red gravel that is muddy on the way in, so the mud is unavoidable. Outside gate does not close. People are friendly and nice. My dog really had fun there. She is not so hard to please.

Pooch Park is a part of Cooper River Park, located at the end of Park Boulevard North in Cherry Hill. This is a great place to bring your dog (s). There are two fenced in areas, one for larger canines and one for smaller ones. Dogs must be at least 5 months, not sick, and a bunch of other sensical requirements. The couple of times I’ve been there we’ve encountered great dogs and great owners. Everyone seems to know each other and is very respectful — without being overbearing.
The area is some kind of gravel so it doesn’t get too muddy. Great resource for a pooch who needs to run around!
