- Leash Required
- Not Puppy-Friendly
- Separate Areas for Small & Large Dogs
- Large Running Area
Shaded and spacious, this Short Hills off-leash area is dedicated to large dogs and has double gates for added safety at entry and exit. The ground is mostly dirt and rocks, so expect your dog to come home a bit grimy. Waste bags aren't reliably stocked, so bring your own. Dog sizes are kept separate here, and there's plenty of room for dogs to stretch out and run.
