Paws & Play Dog Park

Paws & Play Dog Park in Lodi is a distinguished, permit-only municipal destination that prioritizes the highest standards of animal safety and community health. Located behind the Ambulance Corps Headquarters, this world-class facility features a unique 'police-patrolled' security protocol where gates are locked and unlocked according to sunrise and sunset, ensuring a secure and socially proofed environment at all times. The park is celebrated for its granular registration system, which requires every pup guest to be fully vaccinated and licensed, creating a verified community of healthy and socially relaxed companions. This professional oversight makes it an authoritative resource for pet parents who value a scrupulously maintained and accountable off-leash experience.

The service menu at Paws & Play is technically comprehensive, featuring separate technical zones for large and small dogs to ensure safe and energetic socialization. Each area is equipped with world-class amenities including professional-grade waste stations, hydration spots, and ample shaded seating for restorative pet parent rest. To maintain its high standards of hygiene and safety, the Borough enforces a strict 'no-food' and 'no-aggressive-history' policy, fostering a culture of professional reliability and mutual respect among park users. Owners benefit from the park's central location, which provides convenient street parking and easy access to the adjacent Jet-Age Park for leashed nature walks. The facility's requirement for a displayed permit tag ensures that every dog in the run is part of a verified, high-touch care system that is second to none in Bergen County. Whether your companion is joining for a spirited morning social or a quiet sunset play session, Paws & Play treats every guest with the same expert logic and commitment to safety that has made it a Lodi icon.
