Hooksett Dog Park
Two-sided sand park with a swim ramp and a riverwalk out back
About this park
A simple sand-surfaced dog park split into separate large- and small-dog sides, with a boat ramp next door for dogs that want a swim and the River Walk Trail running behind it for owners who'd rather walk. Regulars know each other and reviewers consistently call out a friendly tone, though the big-dog area runs short on shade. The setup is unfussy and the river access is the unusual draw.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 371 Google reviewsThe boat-ramp swim access plus an adjoining riverside trail make this more than a fenced rectangle. Reviewers single out friendlier-than-average regulars and a well-stocked setup with water bowls, balls, and a double-gated entry.
Most owners here recognize each other's dogs, and evenings and weekends draw the densest crowd. Newcomers describe a welcoming feel rather than a clique.
Best for
Before you go
Sun-sensitive dogs should pick the small-dog side or visit early, since the big-dog enclosure has almost no shade. Use the boat ramp for swimming, then dry off on the River Walk loop.
