New Dog Park To Open In Union County

ROSELLE, NJ — A new dog park is opening at Warinanco Park in Roselle on Saturday, Dec. 8. It will be located behind the Warinanco Sports Center located at 1 Park Drive.

The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders will host a grand opening at 1 p.m. which is free for county residents along with their dogs to attend.

“This new dog park in the eastern end of the County will complement the existing dog park in western Union County,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “The Freeholder Board is proud to provide this more local option for dog lovers and owners. As a dog lover myself, I am personally excited to see the county continue to flourish and offer residents diverse resources to accommodate their dogs, which like them, are part of Union County.”

The Warinanco Dog Park is a newly constructed public facility. It features separate large and small dog areas. Each area is equipped with agility equipment, dog-waste stations, pet-friendly water fountains and seating for dog owners.

The Warinanco Dog Park will operate on the same schedule as all Union County parks, with access available year-round from dawn to dusk on a daily basis.

The ribbon-cutting will happen rain or shine. In the event of rain, the ribbon cutting will be held outdoors and remaining activities will be hosted inside of Warinanco Sports Center. The event will include dog treats, dog vendor booths and more.
