Dog parks allow for exercise and socialization with other dogs (and their people) by providing a safe, contained environment for off-leash play. The following parks are "official" in that are recognized by the town in which they are located and dogs within the park boundaries are granted reprieve from local leash laws. Barrington Dog Park is located behind the baseball fields on the western side of Haines Park. The off-leash area is open during regular park hours. Newport Dog Park is located on Connell Highway at the base of the Pell Bridge, directly across the street from the Newport Playhouse. The park is open from 6AM -9PM. Providence - Gano Street Dog Park For more information about Providence's first "official" off leash area visit the Providence Dog Park Association.
