He's 16 weeks old, cute as a button and is very social, but I'll have to see how it goes once we get back to Jersey.

So to answer your question, Timmy's mom, I'm bringing at least one but quite possibly three, 2 yorkies and a chi.

Great...Thanks for letting me know.

Has anyone been to the John Connelly dog park on Centennial BLVD in Voorhees?

Can you give me directions so I can check it out for everyone?? The rain seems to have slacked up FINALLY.

I don't care what dog park we go to, I haven't been to the ones in Cherry Hill, just the one in Medford and that was nice. What does everyone else think?

I think the dog park in Princeton is in North Jersey so it would be about 45 minutes away from me.

LaLoca1 · 09-02-2006, 03:50 PM

I have only been to the one in Cherry Hill. I'm willing to go check out the one in Medford and Voorhees and post pics of them on here so we can agree which one to go to. I just need directions to both of them.

I rather stay in South Jersey than Central.

LaLoca1 · 09-03-2006, 05:53 AM

FINALLY, it has stopped raining!!!

Now....I need directions to both the Medford Dog Park and the John Connolly Dog Park in Voorhees so I can check them out. I'm charging up my digital camera now so I can take pics as well. So please....directions please! I'll be coming up from Deptford, so I guess give me directions from 295.

I am trying the Mount Laurel park in a little with Diamond...Laurel Acres. I can let you know how it is.

Did you have any luck finding them?

romeo and i just came back from laurel acres. it was our first time. it's very nice. nice and grassy and bathrooms nearby. it can be hard to find from the parking lot because it's way in the back. cherry hill can be very muddy and no restrooms. voorhees has hawks.

let me know what you decide.

LaLoca1 · 09-03-2006, 01:51 PM

OK I'm back!!!! I took my chihuahua Rica with me to be a model, lol.

I could NOT find the Mount Laurel one!! Where was it?!?!

Anyways, here are my reviews....and pics!

Cooper River Park
VERY MUDDY!! I understand we have had a lot of rain, but even with any sort of damp ground, I think it would be too muddy. I like the inclosed dog run. However, there's one section by the back gate that I think the little dogs could squeeze through. There were several people there with their dogs, all extremely friendly! Everyone cleaned up after their dogs right away.

All in all...Cooper River Park is ok...but only when it hasn't been raining and once they fix the gap in the back of the fence.

Here are the pics from Cooper River

Medford Dog Park

A VERY beautiful park! Very well maintained. However....the dog sections are not fully fenced. There are several sections of the dog park, however it's all in the woods. I think that dogs that are not fully trained (especially puppies) will be hard to maintain in this park. Also, there were several big dogs around playing. There's no special section for smaller dogs.

I liked the Medford Dog Park a lot....but not for my yorkie. A little off topic, but they have a GREAT children's park!

Here are the pics from Medford Dog Park

Centennial Dog Park

OMG, this place is great!! Very easy to find! There are two fenced in sections, one for the small dogs, the other for the big dogs. There is A LOT of space for the dogs to run around! Several benches, shaded areas. There's a water fountain for you and your dog outside the entrance to the dog park. There's trash cans/pooper scoopers for you to use. There are also toys, bowls provided for your baby to play with.

I really enjoyed this park a LOT!! It was so beautiful! There were a lot of people there too, who were extremely friendly.

I took several pics of the dog park (I went with my sister and her pit). If I had a choice, I would definitely recommend us going to Centennial Dog Park!!!

Timmy · 09-03-2006, 02:15 PM

So nice of you to go to the parks!!! I'm good whith whatever we decide. It'll be my first time going to a dog park.

I had fun doing it! After being cooped up in the house because of the rain, I needed to get out! Rica (the chi) had a lot of fun at Cooper River park. She didn't like the Medford Park that much. Bubbles (the pit) LOVED the Centennial Park so much.

Laur · 09-03-2006, 03:47 PM

They all look really nice! The only thing I don't like about the Medford dog park is that there is no area for the smaller dogs. We could try Centennial Dog Park but someone mentioned that there are hawks?

I didn't see any hawks while I was there!

And we were there for awhile!
