"Hot Dog" Spots

Are you looking for something to do with your dog this weekend? Get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and visit the Hamden Dog Park! Formerly known as Bassett Park, it has now become one of the most popular dog parks in the area. Even though it's pretty crowded on the weekends, you won't have to worry too much because there's over an acre of fenced in land for you and your dog to explore. And don't worry if you have a small dog who doesn't like hangin' with the big guys... there's a separate fenced-in small dog area.

Benches, picnic tables, and toys galore, this really is a great spot to visit with your dog. But you don't just have to take our word on it, check out some reviews on Yelp from fellow dog owners.
