    Great dog park for off lead running around. Separate areas for small and large dogs. Good space. Not much seating for humans but good for the dogs

    Nice enclosed are, has now been split in half for what I presume is to separate big dogs and small dogs, however no signage as of yet. Need a water tap for the dogs and could be bigger as it can be very busy on nice days.

    No log or bench for the dog owners to sit while the dogs run around. A tap with a bowl for the dogs to get a drink after a play would be great.

    This is a great little spot especially for socializing a puppy. The park is divided in two- one for big dogs, and the other for small dogs and puppies. So you needn't worry about your dog getting intimidated or attacked by a bigger dog. In the big dog section there is also a bench for you to sit. It's very secure with there bring a single big outer gate and then also a smaller inner gate into each section. You can let your dog off the lead and not have to worry about it disappearing. There's also a bin for dog dirt right outside the big entrance. It's a great way to meet people and discuss your canine and get tips etc.They could probably do with putting a bench in the smaller dog area too. All in all an excellent facility. Watching your dog run around and play is just a joy.

    It’s a fine park, it’s layout linear layout with Wall running between the small dog park and the big dog park, Unfortunately creates the illusion of a running track which can lead to sight hound type dogs running up and down the wall in the large dog park chasing the small dogs and creating a lot of stress for everyone in there I much prefer dog parks that have a circular design and feature trees to give a bit of cover, but overall fine place to let the dog off the Lead.

    Not bad it's a good ways away from the parking lot, but it's a nice area with lots of doggos to play with. Only 4 stars because there's only one single bench on one side. Dog parks should have plenty of places to sit so you can hang around longer with your pup. We had to leave because my leg was hurting and the one bench was full. Besides the serious lack of seating it's nice.

    A good, secure, long dog park to let your dog off lead with other dogs. It would be even better if there was a small tap for the dog bowls. More seating would be fantastic, as there is only one small bench for 2-3 people.

    Dont find it fare that they wont allow certain dogs in nor have an area for those type of dogs. Where else are you supposed to go then ?

  • 5/5 Cara T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the dog park. It is super secure and safe. The dogs always have a great time 🐶

  • 5/5 Claudia S. 9 months ago on Google
    It's great. They have separate areas for big and small dogs.

  • 5/5 Bill C. 9 months ago on Google
    Dunno if park staff read this but there's a hole in the back fence of the big dog side of the dog park. Larger dogs can't get through it but mid to smaller certainly can as my hound managed to do!

  • 5/5 Grainne M. 9 months ago on Google
    Perfect place to let your dog let down his fur!! Safe as it is divided into two areas, for big and small dogs.

  • 5/5 Trevor C. 1 year ago on Google
    Dlr have done a super job with this park. The dog park is now halved small dogs one side big dogs the other great idea.

  • 4/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely place for dogs to chill, socialise and for owners to drool about their dogs and say hello. One star deducted for the hole in the fence on the right at the entrance.. 😉

  • 5/5 Paul K. 1 year ago on Google
    The dog park is well kept space big enough to let your dog run around with other dogs.

  • 4/5 Will M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great open space for the dog to run and play. What I like about this dog park is that its nice and big compare so some in other parks.

  • 5/5 Fíona N. 5 years ago on Google
    Super place for your dog to run off leash securely and socialize with other dogs. Divided into two, one side for the medium to larger size dogs. Securely gates and fenced off so no fear of your four legged friend escaping. Set inside the beautiful grounds of Marlay Park, playgrounds nearby (dogs not allowed in) and the golf course Cafe... Where you can get tea, coffee etc take out and enjoy while your dog takes a rest too

  • 4/5 Paul Mc G. 1 year ago on Google
    Bins provided. Large enough for the number of dogs usually there. Lacks a water tap.

  • 5/5 C W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to let your dog off and play. However, some of the fencing in and around the area really needs some repair.

  • 3/5 Tara A R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous to have this facility as there are very few. But it's often a complete mud bath as it's not huge and it is popular - and it rains in Dublin! But it is great it exists and Marlay Patk is lovely with great views up to the Dublin mountains.

  • 5/5 Philip S. 2 years ago on Google
    The park has lost of walks, a good dog park as well, lots of history to explore, the wall around the park must be about 10k and dates back to about the 1700

  • 5/5 Gary M. 2 years ago on Google
    Even though it was a bit wet but really enjoyed. Highly recommended to familiar young dogs to other dogs 🐕

  • 5/5 Stephen D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to let your dog run free play with other dogs and very secure locations...excellent well done to local parks

  • 4/5 Nia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fun for the dogs to run and play, 2 separate sections for larger and smaller dogs. Bring plenty of water as there is no tap but there is a stream just around the back where the dogs can cool off afterwards.

  • 5/5 Kathy O. 2 years ago on Google
    As the owner of a lurcher who loves to play with other dogs her size this is ideal. Please remember to bring water to contribute to fill the water bowls

  • 5/5 Keith J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great amenity, two choices for dogs to be off the lead and to meet other dogs

  • 5/5 emma c. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dog park. It's split into separate sections for bigger/smaller dogs. There's a double gated area (a gated off foyer if you will 😆) which is handy...if your dog manages to get out one gate, it shouldn't get passed the second. Trees to shelter under if it's raining and a poo bin right outside it...what more could you ask for of a dog park! Really friendly dog community too.

  • 5/5 K8 2 years ago on Google
    I love that there is a separate section of the dog park.. I'm not sure if it's for precious pooches or dogs with anxiety issues or just small dogs in general but it seems wise as the main section is bedlam fun for energetic bois.

  • 4/5 Con O C. 2 years ago on Google
    Grand place to let the dog off for a run. Well secured. A little mud by the gate, but we're in Ireland so what do you expect? People complaining about no coffee stall, there's a cafe 2 minutes around the corner. Could maybe do with some agility toys, i.e. ramps, tunnels, etc.
