Cameron Park
Open neighborhood field where Sunset Park locals run dogs
About this park
Cameron Park is a small Sunset Park neighborhood green centered on an open grassy ball field where locals let dogs run after tennis balls and frisbees. There is no fence, so this is a casual, leash-judgment spot rather than a dedicated dog park, but bag dispensers are kept stocked. A gazebo with picnic tables, a basketball court, and a playground share the grounds.

Cameron Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers point to the big open field at Cameron as the main draw for letting dogs stretch out, and note that poop bags are reliably stocked. A recent playground refresh has improved the rest of the grounds.

Before you go
There is no fence, so only let off-leash dogs run if their recall is solid. Bring your own water and a spare bag, even though the dispensers here are usually stocked.
Frequently asked
- Is the field fenced?
- No. The grassy ball field is open on all sides, which is why recall matters more here than at a gated run.
- Are waste bags provided?
- Yes. One reviewer describes plenty of poop bags on site, though a spare in the pocket is still the safer bet.
- Is there shade or shelter?
- A small gazebo with two or three picnic tables is the only covered spot; the field itself is open sun.
- What else is at Cameron Park?
- A basketball court, a swing set and jungle gym recently replaced with new equipment, and the open ball field that does the work as a dog space.
