Bidgood Park Dog Park
Bidgood Park is located off Main Road in Goulds. It offers two parks, one for small dogs and one for larger dogs. This is especially helpful for people with dog-selective dogs, who only get along with similarly sized dogs. Bidgood Park itself is 38 acres, so you can enjoy the park with an on-leash walk and then go into the dog area for some off-leash fun.
Voisey’s Brook Dog Park
Perhaps a nod to this dog park’s popularity, Voisey’s Brook Dog Park has its own Facebook page. This is a great way to connect with other dog owners in the area and schedule doggy play dates. You may even be able to find someone with a calm dog to help you work on training with your puppy. In fact, there are actually two Facebook pages dedicated to this park, so be sure to check them both out.
Mount Pearl Dog Park
This dog park also has a small dog area, and on its website, it specifies that this area is for dogs smaller than 25 pounds. There are also other rules listed on the site and we suggest checking those over before visiting. This park is located conveniently next to Power’s Pond Boat House.
