    Nice sized park, usually friendly people but you will run into some unfriendly people.. always be cautious. What you might find acceptable may upset others and cause them to be aggressive ( the people not the dogs lol!).. good to go at the same time to get to know the people and pups who also go at that time and build friendships with them.

    We love Paw Park!!! So grateful for this place! Everyone is so nice and our dog enjoys going there. We have made lots of new friends. We look forward to our day at Paw Park!

    This park is on our rotational list of stops depending where we are in location. Large fenced in, off leash areas, specified sides for big and small dogs. Poop bags available on the fences. One con is it does get a big muddy, drainage could use some help as seen in the photos but if its been dry a couple days outside, it clears up pretty okay. Hose available to use if needed. Also open all year round if you need an outlet for your dog and are willing to be out in the cold.

    Love this park! People are always friendly and are usually good to remove dogs who are having a bad day. The park does get muddy pretty easily, but thats just Buffalo weather. There is water available for the dogs, too! A life saver when it is warm out!

  • Review 5 (2019-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly atmosphere with like minded dog lovers. Area is fenced in. Large area but you are able to see your dog throughout the whole park

    Very clean and well kept. Gio loves this park and has made some new friends here.

  • Review 7 (2019-08-06 - Rating: 4)

    Great dog park! If you dont have a fenced in backyard and your dog has a lot of energy it is a very helpful place!

  • Review 8 (2023-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Paw Park is great. Its well kept, always water for the animals though its a good idea to bring your own for your pups health. People are always friendly. Its a great space for our special friends to run free.

  • Review 9 (2021-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Really fun park. I was dog sitting for my stepbrother and took his dog here, and she loved it! Lots of friendly people and other friendly dogs.Also, it’s big enough where your dog can run around and burn all of their energy to relax the rest of the day. And there’s seating so you can relax too

  • Review 10 (2017-04-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great dog park. Has 2 sections, one for small dogs and another for large dogs. There is water on site in bowels. The area is well maintained and from what i saw owners pick up after their dogs. There are toys in the park however they have seen better days. Overall i highly recommend it for anyone who loves their dog!

  • Review 11 (2022-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great space that offers a safe space to both dogs and their owners. People are very welcoming when you bring your dog into the park. In addition there is a handful of people who ensure the dogs have fresh water to drink.

  • Review 12 (2020-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    Almost always has dogs here, owners are typically very friendly and accommodating of other dogs and their temperaments. Not often any issues. Great in the summer time, the volunteers are lovely and provide pools for the dogs to splash in.

  • Review 13 (2020-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Nice open fenced space. Friendly people were there. Water can be refilled at the building on hot days.

  • Review 14 (2022-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice large open space for dogs to run around and socialize. The park is very clean has access to water for the digs easily accessable near the 990.

  • Review 15 (2016-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    Visited the park on a business trip to Amherst. So happy there is a small dog area! The park is nice and clean and all the dogs and people were very friendly and responsible. We cut our 2nd visit short only because I saw about 9 hawks in less then 10 minutes, they didnt swoop but made me nervous as I have a 6 pound yorkiepoo. Overall great experience.

  • Review 16 (2021-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Volunteer run, supported by donations. Better than most, frequently busy. Bring your (well behaved) dog and have a good time. Occasional muddy puddles after heavy rains. There is a hose outside of the fenced area for filling buckets and water bowls. Gates are currently never locked but there is no lighting. Benches, trees, and a small shelter from rain. Accepts donations of cash and returnable bottles/cans. Donations go towards park maintenance, the city does not subsidize. The space was originally created as a soccer field. The grounds are a former Army Nike missile site that was decomissioned in 1961. Underground missile storage facility is now used as a police firing range. Cinderblock buildings were for security and officer barracks.

    Today was out first day at the park with our puppy and it was a great experience! The other dog owners were extremely friendly and the park was clean and in good condition. We will be regulars soon.

  • Review 18 (2018-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    This is a great park to take our dogs too. No too big, not too small. Just right for our beagles. Dog owners that come are very aware of their own dogs and always very friendly as well

  • Review 19 (2018-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    Another great Dog Park to add to WNY growing Off-Leash dog parks. Nice to have a dog park thats open year round, regardless of the Snow.Perfectly located in a quiet area and space in Amherst. My Doxies enjoyed interacting with a couple other Doxies that were at the Park at the time. Would love to see this park expand a bit bigger to accommodate the growing visitors and to give our K-9 companions more space to run around. :-)Thanks for all the hard work that goes into making this park possible.

  • Review 20 (2019-11-08 - Rating: 4)

    Its a dog park, the people are nice (excluding the occasional hot head), has separate section for large and small dog. Muddy in the spring and fall. Well maintained, with bag available for cleaning up after your dog.

  • Review 21 (2023-04-29 - Rating: 4)

    Smallish dog park with friendly people and well behaved dogs for the most part.When the weathers hot they have kiddie pools for the pups to cool off in.

  • Review 22 (2021-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    First time coming to this dog park and it was amazing, there were toys there and buckets of water which I was not expecting. My dog had a blast and is currently laying at the door because hes too pooped to go any further! I cant wait to take him again

  • Review 23 (2023-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty big area for a fenced in dog park. Muddy in winter and early spring though. Overall its a great dog park!

  • Review 24 (2022-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    Nice wide open space to let the Dogs run. Sadly, our Baby is a big girl who identifies as a small girl, so she spends her time looking at the little Dogs thru the fence. 😆

  • Review 25 (2020-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    What a wonderful park! They have the nicest volunteers that manage the park! We learned that the park is maintained on donations, including returnable bottles and cans (leave by door nearest kiosk) and Dashs register receipts (leave in box on kiosk).

  • Review 26 (2019-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    The people that come to this dog park specifically are very responsible. My puppy and I always have a good time here. The park is well kept and big enough to let the dogs run.

  • Review 27 (2021-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome park! Cute little spot growing trees, plenty of pups hanging out! One day this park will be real nice and shady! And already has nice little shade spots

  • Review 28 (2018-01-28 - Rating: 4)

    Great place for the dogs to get together, run, and play. Not a lot for the humans to do. Its just a big, fenced yard. No trees, no agility equipment. But the dogs seem to love it.

  • Review 29 (2022-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely park with lots of friendly people! My dogs really enjoyed getting to run off leash and burn off some excess energy!

  • Review 30 (2021-05-08 - Rating: 4)

    Its a nice place where youre within sight of your dog at all times. The owners weve met seem to be good pet owners. The only drawback is that there is no shade.

  • Review 31 (2022-09-29 - Rating: 4)

    Had a big dog and small dog side as well as toys to borrow. There even was a volunteer at the park to keep things in order. Will go again.

  • Review 37 (2018-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to stretch those k-9 legs..clean and large enough to have separate areas for larger dogs while the little ones can run in their own spot without being run over.

  • Review 38 (2019-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great place. Separate area for small dogs. Just remember to bring water the hose was out of order when we went.

    Always friendly regulars and friendly dogs! There are always a few who don’t pick up after their dogs but that’s rare here. Many small dog owners welcome your friendly bigdog in toplay with theirs if there are few dogs there.
