Have
the dog days of summer gotten you down? Then I suggest you take your
dog for a ride to one of the coolest summer retreats
ever; the local dog park.
To keep my coon hound,Daisy,and I cool we headed to the best off-leash dog park we could find, Long Hill Dog Park, located just inside Long Hill Memorial Park. This new and lovely dog park can be found by clicking here for directions.
 As
soon as Daisy was released into the wild she couldn't stop talking
about how much she appreciated the grassy areas for fetch and the
wooded areas for shade. I was also thrilled that picnic tables were
available for owners who wanted a comfortable spot to enjoy while
overseeing their pooches at play.
 And the pups were thrilled thatLong Hill Dog Parkprovides kiddie swimming pools for those who need to quench their thirst
or to cool off!
As
far as Daisy and I are concerned, we are going to be frequent guests at
this park and we hope you will check it out FUR yourself soon!
Long Hill Dog Park is open from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. from April 1 to
Sept. 30, and is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Oct. 1 through March
31.

As a new resident and pet sitter serving clients in the Dover, NH, area I am finding a lot of dog friendly areas to stroll through and Wagon Hill Farm in Durham, NH, is no exception.
The locals told me that I couldn't miss Wagon Hill Farm
if I tried because, of course, there is an old wagon to greet me at the
entrance but these lovely people residents have no idea I can miss just
about anything put in front of me!
So for those who share my blonde roots or for those who are simply new to the area the directions from Dover to Wagon Hill Farm are as follows:
- Cross the bridge on Route 4 West which brings you into Durham
- From the lights at the 4 way intersection with Route 4, Black River Road, and Cedar Point Road, travel 0.5 miles
- Turn left onto the access road and immediately after passing the field with the wagon perched on the hilltop
- There is a lower lot on the left, about 0.05 miles in with room for about 12 cars
- Or continue for another 0.05 miles to arrive at the upper parking lot on the left where there is room for about 8 cars
This is possibly the most beautiful,
well-kept preserved farm and trail in the Seacoast. There are three
walking areas – one along the bay, one through the woods and another
through the fields. History buffs will find the family cemetery plot
down near the swimming area (no lifeguard). Rural views of this
130-acre farm are sure to win your dog's paw of approval, fur sure!
Wagon Hill Farm is a 140 acre farm, which was purchased by the town of Durham to
preserve this beautiful resource. Enjoy the many habitats, including a
grassy field, wooded forest and salt water with your four-legged friend
today! |
