The Hudson Dog Park, located in Hudson, New York, at the corner of North Second and Dock streets, officially opened on October 26, 2019, after a decade of effort to make it happen. The dog park is situated on land owned by the City of Hudson, but it was built with $14,000 raised over a period of five years from more than 120 individual donors in two GoFundMe campaigns and from the not-for-profit Hudson Parks Conservancy. Designed in accordance with dog park best practices, with the help of a dog behaviorist, the dog park has an entrance vestibule and separate sections for small and large dogs.

The Hudson Dog Park started out with the minimum needed for a dog park--an open grassy space, fences, trash barrels, and poop bag dispensers. A survey done soon after the park opened helped identify and prioritize desired amenities to the park. In Spring 2021, funds were raised to bring water to the dog park. In September 2021, the Hudson Dog Park won a $5,000 Bark for Your Park™ grant from
PetSafe® to build a shade structure to give shelter from the sweltering summer sun for dogs and humans and provide comfort for everyone in all seasons.
Fundraising for the dog park continues--for future enhancements to the park and such recurring expenses as poop bags. Click below to make a donation using PayPal.
