Welcome to Wantage Dog Park
We have the largest dog park in the tri-state area that's fun for the entire family — especially your dogs — in a friendly, safe, serene setting in beautiful Sussex County. The Board of the Wantage Dog Park is very proud of the facility that we created for you and your dogs — at no charge. We do not receive any funding from any source except your donations.
The Wantage Dog Park is a recreational facility for friendly canines and their owners to enjoy at no cost, regardless of where they reside. The more than 8-acre fenced park provides space for dogs to run off-leash, interact with other dogs and people, and enjoy freedom.

The park receives no government funding — mowing, electricity, water, and facilities are paid for entirely by visitors like you. If every visitor dropped $1 in the barrel by the exit, the park's future would be secure.
