Belfast Dog Park

Belfast Dog Park As part of the Walsh Field Recreation Area, the Belfast Dog Park is located on Lincolnville Avenue (Rte 52) near the intersection of Route 1.

It is open daily from dawn to dusk, and welcomes all friendly dogs. The Belfast Dog Park was created by Friends of Belfast Parks and members of the community as a gift to the city, its dog owners, and their dogs. In September 2007, the Belfast City Council approved the location of an off-leash dog park at Walsh Field, and in August 2008 the park opened—at that time one of more than 700 off-leash r

ecreation areas in the country. The dog park is at located at the Walsh Field Recreational Area, on State Route 52 (Lincolnville Avenue), near the intersection of US Route 1. Traveling west on Route 52, the entrance to the Walsh Field Recreational Area parking lot is the second parking lot entrance on the left. The park is open from dawn to dusk daily. We hope you and your dog have a WONDERFUL, POSITIVE experience on each and every visit to the park! Comments and or feedback regarding your dog park experiences are welcomed and encouraged.

Unfortunately for the past few days there has been vandalism in the Walsh Field restrooms that flooded the restrooms and the area outside. The main water supply was cut off to mitigate the problem and that, of course, affected the water in the dog park. As of this morning, the water should be back on. The following message was received early this morning from the Parks and Rec Director"

"The restroom building at Walsh Field was vandalized for a second time late yesterday. First, at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, we were notified of vandalism and the water pipe in the restroom had been damaged and had been running for hours. All water was shut off on Sunday and the repair made first thing on Monday morning.

Someone decided to come back and vandalize the bathroom again very late yesterday afternoon, around 5:30 p.m., and the water was shut off once again at the main. I am not 100% sure if the dog park water can be isolated in this instance, but I can check.

On Sunday, the break happened sometime overnight so not only was the building flooded, but the grounds around the building were flooded by the time it was called in, coincidentally, from someone visiting the dog park."

More safety advice!
Here is an excerpt from the weekly Facebook post of Little River Veterinary Hospital regarding risks for dogs and people walking or running on snow:

"All you good pet owners who walk your dogs rain, snow or shine. I have seen a few come in this week lame from sprains and tears from postholing. This is when we (or our dog) is walking/running on the crusty snow and then suddenly you break through and you hyperextend your leg. Try not to encourage larger dogs to run in these settings if possible. Only takes a second to tear an ACL and months of recovery."
