West Hills Small Dog Run

West Hills Small Dog Park is a decent spot with a good amount of space for dogs to run around freely. The park provides some conveniences like dog bowls and poop bags, which is helpful. There are about four benches for pet parents to relax, though a few more wouldn’t hurt. It can get quite muddy after it rains, so keep that in mind if you’re visiting in wet weather. One downside is that its been pretty quiet (empty) every time we’ve visited on weekdays, so it might be ideal for those looking for a less crowded park.

Really nice dog run and not as beat up as the others I’ve used. Scheduled a Shiba Meetup recently and everyone commented on the good shape the run is in.

Friendly group of dogs and owners, really large fenced area for smaller dogs to run in! Would recommend!

Love this park. My dog loves running around and enjoys taking walks as there are plenty of trails around.

Nice big dog park for small dogs. Friendly people on weekends. Will be back for the dogs to play and run around. Had benches all around the perimeter on the inside.

Always great and the park is fabulous.

Great for hiking or just sitting and enjoying the view, love this place!

I used too love bringing my dog but they changed from grass to woodchips and im worried my dog and other dogs are going to eat them and become sick or even worse

My dog Romeo always has a blast when I bring him here! He gets along pretty well with every dog hes met here so far

Great place to bring your dog, hike, view the wildlife or camp with your Scouts!

We visited Sunday afternoon and it was a letdown. There were maybe 5 other dogs and their humans, and all the dogs and humans were great. But the dog run was just a big open flat rectangle filled with wood chips covering every inch. The dogs couldn’t really run around on it, certainly not full speed. There were benches around the edges, but that’s it. There was no grass, no trees, no bushes, nothing interesting or fun. The dogs basically just have to wait in discomfort until it’s time to leave.

Nice people. Lots of room for dogs and someone left water and bowls. Plenty of trails outside ofvthe fenced area.

Its basically an fenced in rectangle. There is some shade depending on the time of the day.

Our favorite dog park! Very clean and always friendly dog owners

Very nice dogs and people.People leave lots of tennis balls to play fetch with and chairs to sit on and chat--just avoid politics.A lot of regulars, both dogs and people so you get to know them.There is a fountain that isnt turned on until may so bring water.However, there are toilets in the park headquarters building a few steps away where you can fill a water bottle from a sink.My little dog died recently so I go here to be around dogs. Theyre nice!

We went there during the evening, around 5pm. It was busy and a lot of the owners were hanging out and socializing while their dogs did whatever. At one point, a dog started fighting with my dog. I shouted across the park Whos dog is this? and everyone just blankly stared at me. No one came to help as my 65-yo mother and I tried to control the situation and the owner of the other dog took zero responsibility for the incident. I was shocked.Plus there is a huge hole in the fence where two small dogs escaped out of within the span of an hour. Fortunately they were retrieved. Also, no bathrooms in the area that I could find.

It is a beautiful park that is very well maintained. Unfortunately, my dog was the only small dog in the park. I think that small dogs need to meet friends too, so please come and visit. Its very clean and nice park!

Best dog park ever from the dog run to the rangers and the field. Even the bathrooms are always tidy. The only thing that is a little annoying is parking but thats not their fault its across the street so be careful crossing with your fur baby because people fly down the bend and you dont see them coming. Also check for ticks on your dog when you leave but thats any park. We love going there!

My wife and I love visiting here because of how big the dog run is. Theres plenty of room for a variety of dogs, and the community is friendly every time we visit. There are trails that I like to walk my dog on as well.

We visited the West Hills small dog park because we attended a Long Island orienteering event at the West Hills Park, not so much the dog run. It is a very nice park lots of trails and Hills. We enjoy it, think you will too!

The new wood chips ( replacing the grass) have made it not very user friendly. Wood chips harbor fleas & ticks and are hard on dogs Paws. Also make it hard to find dog poop ( hidden landmines) The grass always grew back and should be replaced. Suffolk county parks made a mistake

Many people dont pick up after their pets. Do not like the bark on the ground very hard to find the poop unless you are right next to your dog.

Great place to take your dog for a few hours to burn off some excess energy. The people there are all nice and fun to hang out with. Then again, why wouldnt they. Their dog people after all.

Its okay, people are nice, dogs range but generally no issues, most people obey the small dog rules, everyones friendly. The place could be worked on, cleaned up refurbished, not much going on for the doggos.

We loved spending time here with our pup and all the other dogs. Its large enough for them all to run around and have a blast.

Sometimes many dogs way larger than 25 lbs, but they are sweet. Usually a drama-free dog park.

Great place for small dogs to run and play. The dog run is huge, and the people there are very nice and friendly. The dogs have a ball there!

Great dog park for small dogs, water available and poop bags, double gated, only thing bad is wood chips

Nice people and nice dogs, they recently put down wood chips which has made the dog park much worse. Lots of places to walk the dog outside of the actual fenced area

Bring boots! Its a little muddy here but its a big run with lots of benches where the pups can run around and play. 25lbs or less only since its the small dog run.

Many of the small dog owners cluster together and become bullies. One particular owner verbally attacked me for bringing a tennis ball to the park because his dog becomes aggressive with toys.

Great friendly area. Make sure you bring your own doggie poop bags though and water for your pup!

Nice fenced in area. The only problem was all the dogs were leaving when we got there. Oh well will be back again.

Very relaxing area to walk and to play relaxing music with non electric instruments to study and meditate.

Nice dog run with wide open space to throw around toys. Dogs all seem pretty well behaved and the owners are sociable.

Been here 4 mornings. Would be nice if there were other dogs here

The West Hills small dog run is normally a great place to let my Havanese puppy run without fear of being trampled by larger dogs. Some time in the past week mulch has been spread. Large and small chunks of wood (poorly mulched) which can splinter in my dogs mouth and paws. Had a dog once that suffered internal bleeding, not fatal but could have been. Why would any one spread this stuff in a dog park. Shame on them

Its beautiful and people are in there most of the time. The are around it isnt only beautiful as is it but also a great place to walk your dog.

The small dog park is a great space for smaller dogs to socialize. It is nice and big and the people and dogs are friendly.

Really great, not dirty plenty of benches though next time Ill bring chairs, not alot of shade but my dog had a great time

Love it. So does my dog. Decent amount of space to run and theres always at least 5 dogs to play with.

I’ve been bringing my dog here for years- the people are friendly and I’m always happy to see the dogs play.

As a new dog owned I was not sure what to expect of a small dog, dog run but it met my expectations, My small dog loved running here.

This place looks horrible, went to the small dog park and it’s all run down, no grass only dirt, old mulch and gravel. Left 5 mins after arriving.

An awesome little spot to bring your little ones!

Saturday at 9:30 in the morning it was empty. I plan to come back later today so that other dogs may be present

This place is delicious....not. come on, its a dog park. Dogs love it though.

Great small dog run. Lots of hiking trails too

Its a wonderful park for all sizes of dogs.

Quiet, green walking trails are right near the dog run.

The restrooms were closed till further notice.

Little dirty but my puppy loves it!

Clean quiet little dog run with plenty of visitors on a nice day!

Dont let drink water may be bad from well

Perfect for smaller dogs. Very clean

Most of the dogs in the small dog run are well behaved and 98% of the owners are conscientious and watch their dogs. There is no poop bag dispenser which some might expect, but always people there willing to give you a bag if you need. It could be a little cleaner in the run, I often see poop near the fence that wasnt picked up so you have to watch where you and your dog step. The people we have met have been welcoming and we plan to visit again soon.

Liam took to the dog run and moved about easily.

Work being done - half of the park has been mulched!

The best park in Huntington. Dog friendly.

Nothing but birds chirping and little dogs running around.

I do not like how they added wood chips to the whole park...I understand that it helps for when it rains and to reduce mosquito and ticks but it also makes afraid bc my dog runs full speed to fetch and stops on dime that he could injure himself....

Local BSA Scout Camping. Great place to camp.

Beautiful fun hiking trails and camp grounds

To many big dogs and watch for ticks we got 4 of them

A small but fairly popular place for pups. I just use/ love West Hills County Park, where this dog run is located in, but currently just have a few cats so havent used the run. Still, its a nice place to take ur dog & maybe meet ppl.

The sweetest small dogs come here!

The best small dog park ever!

Best place for my dog to have fun.

So many dogs?!?I was in dog heaven

Its alright, its a small area , nothing much to it really

Best dog park. people and park petsonnel are friendly, dogs well behave.

Nice place to have a walk in the woods.

Too many angry and just plane strange people go there

The trails are great!

I love this great place

Great place to camp.

I got to see dog balls

Awesome!

Tick season coming beware

Great place, great people..

Best place for dogs

Great for Dogs & People

Woof

Good for what it is.

I ljust like this place

It was a pretty nice area. Plenty of grass but also quite a few places that were run down and either only had wood chips or dirt or mud. Overall, it was pretty good and I will visit again. I was surprised that it was completely empty and I was the only person with my dog there on a Saturday afternoon. Only thing I had an issue with was that a lot of people left their bowl of water there and I had to either knock them over or pick them up so that my dog wouldnt drink from them. I dont want my dog getting any type of bacterial or viral infection from contaminated water. It would be nice if the area could be level (not heavily sloped) because it is quite sloped and when its muddy or snowy, it becomes a hassle walking or jogging down the field. Same experience spring or winter.

If you want to spend some time with your little friends this is the ideal place... A large park where you can take long walks in complete safety. Pets on a leash!

I dont like how he treats patients, he doesnt set an exact schedule with appointments, thats disgusting.
