Dog Park at Echo Lake Park

The Dog Park at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside is just less than three acres in size and is surrounded by a fence and has recently been upgraded for handicapped accessibility and work continues on new parking, water fountains and other improvements.

Dog Waste

Dog owners are asked to place dog waste in trash cans located in the parking lot.  Dog waste bags are provided and owners are also encouraged to bring their own.  Currently, “Friends of Echo Lake Dog Park” provides buckets within the dog park which volunteers empty into trash cans.
