Starr Farm Dog Park
A huge fenced playground for dogs that love to run wide open
About this park
Starr Farm is Burlington's flagship off-leash park, a large fenced expanse split into a huge main yard for big dogs and a separate area for small dogs. Open drinking bowls, agility features like a ramp and balance beam, and regular canine traffic keep the energy high all year. Nearby bike path, beach, and park access make it easy to combine with a longer walk.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 341 Google reviewsVisitors consistently call this the best dog park they have ever visited. Reviewers praise the sheer size, the friendly regulars, the open water bowls, and the mix of breeds racing together across the open field.
Wide-open energy is the dominant vibe, with a rotating cast of playful dogs of all breeds. A few reviewers note that anxious or shy dogs can be overwhelmed by how fast the pack moves, so confident socializers tend to thrive here.

Before you go
The running water and portable restroom are seasonal and disappear once the ground freezes. The ramp and balance beam can feel rickety, and the small-dog area is separated by a privacy screen so dogs cannot see through.
