ATTENTION: The Kingston Dog Park has begun to issue tags to park members. Each dog that visits the park must have a tag, the cost is $5 per tag, this cost decreases to $1 per tag for each additional registered dog. You can only obtain these tags at the dog park, several volunteers are prepared to distribute them.
On your next visit to the park, simply ask if anybody has tags.

Kingston Dog Park Mission

The mission of the Kingston Dog Park is:

To establish a fenced-in, off-leash park where people and their well-behaved dogs can socialize and exercise in a clean, safe environment without endangering people, property or wildlife.

To develop a beautiful, well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and restrictions.

To promote education, training and recreational activities that facilitate responsible dog ownership and better-behaved dogs through the use of volunteers and professional dog trainers.

To view the park as a community project in partnership with the Town of Kingston, NH, designed to meet the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike. To foster an increased sense of community by encouraging social interaction among citizens, while reducing encounters with citizens who are apprehensive of off-leash dogs in other public areas.

To help promote Kingston, NH as a friendly community to live in and visit.
