Waterbury Dog Park
Volunteer-run fenced park with river-swim access nearby
About this park
Waterbury Dog Park is a large fenced off-leash area run by a volunteer board, with a separate enclosure for reactive or shy dogs and a footpath down to the nearby river for swimming. Running water, a big shared bowl, and a human gazebo with a windbreak make it a comfortable hang in any Vermont season. Reviewers frequently call it one of their favorite dog parks in the state.
