Pittsford Dog Park
Grass-not-mud east-side dog park behind a code-locked gate
About this park
A members-only park on the east side of the metro with separate large- and small-breed enclosures, both grassy enough that reviewers call out the lack of mud and gravel as the headline difference from other Monroe County parks. Access requires a code, which takes a couple weeks to issue but limits the crowd to vaccinated, licensed dogs. Free paved parking on site.

Pittsford Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayGood grass coverage on both sides is the consistent praise point, along with the membership system that keeps the regular crowd vetted. Reviewers frequently rank it the best dog park on the east side.
A vetted, mostly neighborhood crowd. Owners tend to be engaged and watchful, and bad-actor incidents are rare in reviews.

Before you go
Apply for the gate code early; processing takes a couple weeks. The touchpad lock is occasionally finicky in cold weather. No on-site water feature, so dogs come home dry.
Frequently asked
- Do you need a code to get in?
- Yes. The gate opens with a keypad code issued only after you register your dog as licensed and vaccinated, and processing runs about two weeks. The touchpad itself is finicky in cold weather.
- Are small and large dogs separated?
- Yes. There are separate large- and small-breed enclosures, both of them large and grassy, so a small dog doesn't have to hold its own in the big group.
- Is there water on site?
- There are drinking fountains, in use during the warm months. No pond or wading area, so dogs go home dry.
- Does it get muddy?
- Less than most parks in the area. Grass coverage on both sides is the detail reviewers single out, specifically the absence of the mud and gravel found at other Monroe County parks.
- Is parking easy?
- Yes. There is a free paved lot on site.
