Dog Park Coming To Silverton In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Toms River residents will have a place to walk their dogs or allow them to run off-leash, after the Township Council approved a new dog park in the Silverton section of town.

The park, off Maine Street, will include vinyl fencing 4 to 10 feet high, pet waste stations, a walking path, new landscaping, benches and recycling bins and parking.

The contract for $240,035 was awarded to Vulcan Construction in July, and the park is anticipated to be open in October, subject to availability of materials and weather conditions.

Only licensed dogs will be permitted in the park.
