Timber Creek Pooch Park

Timber Creek Pooch Park in Blackwood, NJ, is a 9-acre fenced dog park within a 60-acre woodland park for off-leash strolling. Leashed dogs are welcome on the area's many paved walks, and there is also a small lake where they can swim. Playgrounds, bathrooms, picnic tables, and chairs are all located throughout the park.

Longport Dog Beach (also known as Somers Point Dog Beach, Malibu Beach, or just Dog Beach) is an off-leash dog beach located near the Malibu Beach Wildlife Management area where dogs of all sizes can enjoy the sand and sea. The beach is located on the Longport side of the Ocean Drive Bridge, across from the fishing pier. Owners are responsible for bringing their own water and waste disposal equipment. Because there are no trash cans on site, be prepared to dispose of all rubbish somewhere.

Dogs are allowed in the park, but they must be kept on a leash that is no longer than six feet long. During the summer season, they are not permitted on the swimming beach (lifeguard area) or on the Spizzle Creek Bird Blind Trail at any time. After going on any of the other paths, it's a good idea to check your dog for ticks. During hot weather, never leave your dog, or any other creature, alone in the car.

On the Manasquan Inlet, Fisherman's Cove Conservation Area is the last undeveloped land. Fishing, walking on the beach, and sunbathing are all popular activities on the 55-acre estate. Dogs are welcome on the beach's eastern half, but they must be kept on a leash at all times to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem. The beach's western half has been marked as "dog free."

In honor of Alex Ching, a dog park is being built at Bayonet Farm. Alex Ching found enormous satisfaction in the little things in life.
