Newtown Parks and Recreation is located in Newtown, CT. Our mission is to create quality recreation and leisure opportunities strengthening the community through people, parks and programs. One of these endeavors is the establishment of our Park and Bark Dog Park as well as to continue fund-raising events to provide the resources for ongoing maintenance of the park.

Our slightly-larger-than-two-acre land parcel is on Old Farms Road, off Wasserman Way, adjacent to the new Brian J. Silverlieb Animal Care and Control Center and across the road from the Governor’s Horse Guard. Features in the park include two fenced play areas—a large general play space and a smaller separate section for smaller, older and more timid dogs. Availability of drinking water seasonally, shade structures and trees, and benches will provide a safe and comfortable environment for human and canine park visitors. And because it’s important to us that dogs have fun and stimulation, our park includes agility course elements and other special features.

All visitors must have a Parking Permit and Dog License. Permits may be ordered on the town website or by calling 203-270-4340. You can get your Park Permit from the Parks and Recreation office at 8 Simpson St., Newtown, CT 06470.
