The
Livingston Dog Park officially opened on October 11, 2003.
The park is located in East Hills Park, on Shrewsbury Drive,
8/10 mile south of East Mount Pleasant Avenue.
The
Friends of Livingston Dog Parks have designed two fenced
in areas where dogs can socialize and exercise off-leash,
legally in a public park, under the supervision of an adult.
The
Livingston Dog Park has two distinct play areas. A small
dog park allows dogs 25 pounds or lighter to socialize without
being overwhelmed by larger dogs. The large dog park is
available for dogs of all sizes. Both areas offer shade
and benches. The large dog park has a water fountain which
operates during frost free days. In addition, another feature
of East Hills Park includes a 1 ½ mile long wooded
nature trail with fitness stations. Dogs are permitted on
the nature trails but must be kept on a leash.
To
use the Livingston Dog Park, each dog is required to be
registered and obtain a Livingston Dog Park Pass. The pass
is valid until January 31. To complete the registration
process, you are required to provide health and safety documentation
of vaccinations for Rabies, Parvo and Distemper, complete
and sign a two-sided application form, and pay a fee--all
of which are outlined in the downloadable files below.
Volunteers
are always needed to keep the park safe and beautiful. We
are always looking for Dog Park Monitors as well as volunteers
to work on our Communications, Maintenance, Beautification,
Fundraising or Special Events subcommittees. If interested,
send an email to livingstondogpark@livingstonnj.org.
