This is a great dog park. There is a short fence that surrounds a huge area for dogs run around with short trails that lead up a hill to an open play area. Highly recommend! It is like a mini hike and with your dog off leash.

I cant give this place enough stars. Its a huge park sporting a main dog park with loads of space to run around. Theres also a separate safe fenced in spot for puppies to play. Further up is a trail that circles back around. It has multiple trails branching off it if you want a bit of adventure.

Portland is really lucky to have some great dog parks. We really liked the layout of this one in that it’s a small trail system but safely fenced off. The shelter with seats and water bowls is a great touch too.

This is an amazing place for our dog to get plenty of space to run and sniff while playing with others off leash. It is nice that we had the chance to walk on the trails as well!

Amazing place! Really big dog park with trails and plenty of space. This is one of the most unique parks Ive been to and will definitely be back. The fenced in area gives plenty of room to run and interactions between dogs and their owners was very positive. This is not your typical park with flat ground. It is hilly with plenty of trees and vegetation to give a dynamic feel depending on the area you choose to roam. A word of caution: my dog cleared the low fence in one jump so keep an eye out if there are incoming or outgoing dogs.

Best dog park I’ve ever been to. Place is huge and has plenty of territory where the dogs go wild and the humans are at bay. Allows the dogs to get crazy without running off. Has the feel as though it weren’t fenced in.

Great dog park, there is a big clear area where dogs can meet and play, there is also a fenced in wooded area for dogs who get overwhelmed in large play groups and would rather run around the trees with a few dogs. A separate small dog area out of visual range is fantastic too and reduces the chance of developing restraint aggression. There are convenient walking trails outside of the park if your dog needs a cool off between socialising.

A perfect urban dog park. Meander, then hang out at the gathering place (theres a shelter!). Expect to pick burrs out of your buddys fur. We need to get rid of those plants, ow. Anyway, folks are nice (not snobs) and dogs are dogs.

First time visiting. Its a large park with plenty of hilly, wooded terrain for dogs to run an romp. Clearing at the top of the hill for throwing balls. It can be muddy. Definitely will bring the dog back.

I could explain why I love this place but its about how much my baby girl pitbull likes it.... She has been to many dog parks from pleasant point to CARIBOU down tha bangor over to Thomaston all the way back in LEWISTON, and the only one she is never ready to leave is Quarry Run!! She just loves the layout of the place. So we get there about 4 times a month, this because I am all over the state.. First I take her for the walk around the solar panels, and she lays in a couple of the puddles as she gets heated fast. She is a bit overweight, this do to having had many litters early on... Now that she is with me she can forgget about HAVING TO BE CASH DOG... MY LITTLE MEATBALL HA HA

Review №21

Such a cool dog park. The nice open format in the woods and completely enclosed. There is another enclosed section of the park that could be used for training or other activities where the large open format may not be ideal. People are pretty friendly and courteous here, but it is a bit of a free for all and gets busy in the afternoon with dozens of dogs off leash, be careful if your dog might be overwhelmed by this situation.

Great off-leash park! Our girls had so much fun running around and exploring. We didnt notice any left behind poo, and there were bowls of water in a few different locations. All dogs and owners were very friendly.

This dog park is incredible. Its absolutely huge, people seem to have common sense about dog behavior, and was just an overall great day that tired out the pups!

Review №26

My dog loved it. There was snow on the ground, which he loves (Chihuahua - who woulda think it). We stayed just inside the fence with about 8 other dogs. They all played and ran - no incidents. All the dogs were bigger than Stewie,but he loved it!!!

So happy I discovered this place recently. Ive been to a lot of dog parks but this one is definitely my favorite. Its really open and fenced in. My dogs really love to run in the woods rather than just in an open field park, so this is perfect.

Awesome place to take the dogs to burn off some energy and walk trails. Nice alternative to the standard dog park field.

Review №31

I love this place! The dogs love it, they can run, explore and communicate with their pals.However I’m trying to figure out what is with the construction and the large utility trucks going up and down the access roads.They are fairly narrow roads for such large vehicles and if you happen to be in the path of one it is very difficult to pass.That happened to me today and it was nerve racking with my dog considerably ahead of me, because he was off leash, and the driver may have been under a time constraint, following very close behind me. Has anyone had this experience?

We were on vacation and after 4 hours in the car we wanted to stop and let our pup run around for a bit. After a quick google search we ended up pulling off the highway and stopping here- WOW. The best dog park Ive ever been to! Huge fenced in area with trails and a large play area. Highly recommend

This is the best dog park Ive ever gone to. Its basically in a forest with enough open space that you can let your dog do their own thing and not need to worry. Its so big compared to everywhere else Ive ever been. I loved it and next time Im up in Maine, Ill definitely go back.

I have enjoyed the dog park in the past with other dogs I have had. This time it made me nervous because the dog I have now is a leaper. There is a section of the fence near the entrance which is very low. I worried that he could easily jump it if something caught his attention on the other side.

10 acre dog park, need I say more? Dogs can run through the woods or hang out in the central area with other dogs. Owners are shamed I to taking out their own trash. Great!

Lots of forested land fenced in so your pups can run around, play, and explore. We loved this dog park while we lived in Portland. Probably the best dog park weve ever been to

This is my favorite place to bring Ella off leash. Its out of Portland far enough to be considered a hidden gem and keep my mind at ease as far as cars go. There are several very friendly regulars who go early like Ella and I do, sometimes we even have play dates with the pups! Stop on by, youll be impressed and pleasantly surprised, I hope!

Such fun for your dog! Lots to explore and theres usually a good crowd of pups to play with. Some people dont pick up after their dogs but youll find that at any dog park. The park is well maintained, with paths mostly patted down from foot or paw traffic after snowstorms, which makes for easy walking. And theres always extra poop bags on hand!

Review №58

This is a great place for dogs to run off leash and socialize with other dogs. Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and their dogs were well behaved. Theres a path you can follow once you enter the gate from the parking area and on the back side near the road theres a smaller fenced in area of youd like a little privacy away from all the other dogs. Be prepared for some low spots on the fenceline and lots and lots of mud on the property during the wet season.

Nice big fenced park with paths and a big open area on top of the hill. Includes a smaller fenced area at the North East corner of the park for tiny dogs or introductions. Can be icy in inclement weather.

Review №61

Not your typical dog park. Quarry run dog park is a large area of wooded land with walking paths, a picnic area for your pup, a field area for playing fetch and plenty of woods and walking paths for a safe environment for you and your pooch.Located just out of City limits this is not your typical dog park. The area is vast and spacious area safe for off an off leash experience (assuming your dog comes when called. The area is large enough for them to get lost!).There are also a number of on leash walking trails surrounding the area through the old Portland landfill.

Great terrain to exercise doggies and their owners. All paths lead uphill, some easier than others. At the top is a roofed slab with tables and dishes and water in big jugs (thank you!!! Whoever started doing that, my heroes!!!) I have found that lately the owners and dogs have been very playful but mellow and respectful :) no more mosquitoes now that its early fall, perfect time of year to come!

Review №69

This place is huge. We rolled up to this place and didnt see any dogs, not knowing how expansive it was. There is a wooded trail up to the top (only takes a few minutes) clearing where the dogs play. There is a shelter at the top for dog owners to drop their stuff as well as a garbage for poop. Just make sure to bring water. This is a great place for trying to teach your dog to walk trails unleashed but still have the peace of mind of being fenced in.

If your dog is friendly, under voice control, and has good recall, try the trails behind the dog park. Theyre maintained by Portland Trails and are beautiful. You can easily do a three mile hike through the area, more if you choose too. A GPS mapping program is helpful to find your way around the woods.

I started out enjoying my time here with the pup but quickly learned that the 6am burn some steam crew were polar opposite from the 9am socialize and let havoc ensue crew . We avoid the park part and walk up around the old land fill where there is more open space and less issues. Could be a fantastic place if it werent for the issues.

Fenced in woods where dogs get to run wild. There are a couple clearings where people/dog chill. I would caution people with aggressive dogs to be careful, it would be easy for you to low sight of them with dogs all around.

It can be very dirty, depends on the time of year. Some people will not keep an eye on their dogs either, aggressive dogs at that! I prefer to walk the big loop rather than hang out up top by the bench and covering, way too many dogs

A wonderful wooded dog park where its hard to tell you are even fenced in! There are couple of trails to explore and an open common space for dogs to meet up and play, with covered benches. There is also a smaller fenced in area for small dogs. Overall my Corgi loved it and I enjoyed it as well. Best dog park in Portland!In response to Glenn Porter: The levels of dog waste left by owners is not overwhelming and was no more than Ive seen at any other dog parks and there was no discernible odor. it smelled like the woods to me.

In closed fenced area so dogs can socialize and run free. The walking trail around the upper level is for off road bicycles, cross country skiing, walking, running. dogs can be on or off leash depending on your control with voice commands. That is approx 1.5 mile loop.
