Hey everyone - I’m looking for suggestions for dog parks or places you can safely have your dog off leash so they can run around. We are in Kent county but don’t mind taking a little drive. TIA
Yeah the only one I know of is the one in City Park and agree don’t want to go there
What’s wrong with Warwick? 👀
I have heard that there is silica in the sand. And that some of the regulars have had kennel cough. I have been there with unfriendly dogs. It's also really hard to get the sand out of my dog's hair
There was a parvo outbreak there, maybe two years ago? I have also had issues there with aggressive dogs and small children running around while oblivious parents yapped away in the big dog area.
I've tried the Warwick City Dog Park twice and had weird experiences there. The regulars were very unfriendly and "cliche-y" and none of the dogs were really playing? The sand is annoying as well.
Ninigret Park Dog Park
Came here to say Ninigret too
Bring Fido has a great list.
compass rose beach in quonset is pretty small as far as beaches go and is great if your pup likes sand and water, but you might have to park in the ferry parking lot depending on whether they're still doing construction in the beach parking lot.
Kayla Jean Ricci Dog Park in North Kingstown. It's at the end of Quonset. I only go down there to do wildlife photography - as I like the relative isolation - but I rarely see more than one or two people in the dog park later in the day. It's a very quiet, scenic area. If on a leash, you could also take them to Spink Neck Beach. It's has enough parking of its own, but is also a very short walk from the Dog Park. A pretty good stretch of sand that typically isn't too active, in my experience.
Waterman dog park in providence, wanskuck park in north providence/providence.
Bend St. Sports Complex off West Shore Rd. has tons of adjacent soccer fields - when they are not in use, it's a great spot to let your dog run off leash
Pretty sure there are signs there that specifically state no dogs on the fields
Chase Farm Lincoln. Although it say leashes nobody does.
South County dog park was super nice when I used to go there. They have it separated by a small dog area and a large dog area. Unfortunately, way too many poor dog owners out there
Edit: South Kingstown Dog Park - not sure what the downvotes are for lol

Don't go to the Warwick City Park one. The one in Warren is a huge drive but nice, with lots of parking. Also dog friendly stores and restaurants, very walkable area.
