Brookdale Park

Address: Watchung Ave, Bloomfield, NJ 07003

With shade trees, benches, water fountains for dogs and people, restrooms, and a parking lot, Brookdale Park in Bloomfield is well-equipped for a longer visit. The off-leash area is split into large and small dog sections, both with plenty of room to run, though the gravel surface can kick up dust on dry days. The crowd here tends to be attentive and social, which contributes to a welcoming atmosphere.
