My dog's really enjoyed being able to run off leash here. They were able to zoom all they wanted. We did encounter a dog walking on the road which one of my dogs did not like but overall the experience was great and I will definitely return.

Our reactive dog absolutely loved having a place to safely play that wasn’t our backyard! Thank you so much for providing this for us!

The dogs had a great time! They played and interacted with the fun agility equipment, they checked out the whole area, and it was fun for me to watch the pups explore everything!

Park was clean and Hunter enjoyed being able to run loose with his buddy, Gus. We had no stress about dogs we do not know being there.

So much fun doing the Easter Egg hunt with the pups! They loved finding the eggs and taking home the treats! Wonderful, clean, and fun spot for the pups to play, sniff, roam, and learn new things!

We had a BLAST at the Easter Egg hunt!! 🐣🐰💐 Wilco was very excited to see all the toys and treats. We hope to come to more events like this in the future. Thank you so much!

Always a great time here! There was an Easter egg hunt today which was so cute and well thought out. You can really tell the host cares about the dogs. Thank you!

My dogs always have the best time ever! They had a blast today finding all the eggs and getting all the goodies

We had such a great time! The area is secure and well managed. The agility equipment was fun for our dog. There were clean tennis balls and a hose for clean water available. Since this park is in a neighborhood and we visited on a Sunday afternoon, we did see a few people and one dog being walked on the nearby road. We also heard one dog barking in the near distance. None of these instances were too distracting for our dog and overall the experience was extremely quiet and secluded. Having the human snacks and some chairs to relax in was a great touch. All humans and dogs had a fantastic time.

Thank you so much, Bryna! Arlo had so much fun, as usual, but the Easter egg hunt was such a thoughtful and fun surprise! He loved the treats and the toys! Happy Easter! 🐰💗

55The set-up at the Old Mystic K-9 Adventure Park is superb! The colorful holiday-themed flags and banners welcome you to this sniff spot. The grounds are immaculate and the obstacles and amenities hold our dog’s (and our) interest. Today was a particularly special treat – a personal Easter egg hunt was set up for each dog during their reserved time slot. Our rescue dog has never had the opportunity to do a hunt such as this due to his reactivity to other dogs. Being at the Old Mystic K-9 Adventure Park is stress-free with a reactive dog. The self-latching gate, the solid, 5-foot fence running the perimeter, and the knowledge that no other off-leash dog will be running into our little guy’s space all make for an enjoyable outing. The eggs were hidden throughout the fenced-in area and it didn’t take our dog long to figure out that there were treats inside. The locally made dog biscuits and the well-thought-out selection of toys were a real treat for our dog. He has not put down his favorite find (a squeaky stuffed avocado) all afternoon. The hosts thought of literally everything- a Ziploc bag with our dog’s name on it to carry home his treasures, a prop bucket with bunny ears for photo ops, a bucket to collect the eggs…. The list goes on. This is our second visit since this sniff spot opened and we are eager to visit again soon. The adventure park in itself, even without an egg hunt, is worth a trip! Jen K.

FAQ about our West Haven dog parks
