Eldridge Park Dog Park - Dog park in Elmira - 1322 College Ave, USA

I wish we had a park like this near home! Perfect-sized park to walk the dogs. The path surrounds a beautiful pond with lots of ducks! There's a good-sized dog park, amusement park, skate park, and sports fields. We were recently in the area on a mini vacation and someone suggested we check it out and take the dogs. We were not disappointed!

My dogs really enjoyed this park but we could only be there for 15 minutes max/day. Too many people bring their reactive dogs here and don’t stop asking how long you’ll be so they can utilize the park without any other dogs inside. That’s not what a dog park is for! It’s not your personal backyard. I recommend using sniffspot while traveling through Elmira instead of coming here- so many more options and you won’t be bothered by anyone else. Also, people bring their elderly dogs in and get mad when dogs try to play with them. Another woman insisted her dogs were extremely friendly, but I thank god there’s a gated entrance because her dogs went into attack mode on mine through the fence.

I think this park is a forgotten jewel in the area. The people who help create and maintain it should be celebrated. It's a simple park but has a lot to offer. Even on a cold wintry day....

A great escape for the family!! Take your kids here. Have fun! The rides are cheap and authentic. It's worth the drive. The view is beautiful! Five stars isn't enough I'd give it 100 stars!

We were not at the dog park , we used the pond for fishing , it is stocked with trout. The park is all about the children , not a bad place to go . They have a water park and some rides including a miniature golf course . The pond is good fishing kids can enjoy that as well , a nice place.

Small, cramped, not much for a dog to engage with. Seems as if the "dog park" was decided by how many feet of fencing they had rather than making the best use of space available. Lots more room off to the north, west, and south. There is a strange kind of mat under the shade roof that is filthy with animal hair and who knows what else. If you want to see how a dog park can be done right go to Owego, Hickory Park.

My dog prefers slower introductions and is great at dog parks as long as he gets to sniff through the fence first. The people that started the dog park were there and were telling me to just let him in and that he needed to be off leash before we even got into the park. I explained he’s friendly but doesn’t like introductions that are up in his face so he meets through the fence before then. They yelled at us and kept telling us we couldn’t come in if my dog wasn’t going to be allowed to be a dog. Very rude people. We left and my dog didn’t get to have fun. Very disappointing.

This park is spectacular. It is so picturesque and peaceful. It has a lifetime of memories and is good for our souls!
